I am trying to drive a 135khz ultrasonic ceramic pillar transducer. The transducer is loose and not bonded to anything.
The problem I have is that the transdcuer gets very hot in less than 5 minutes.
Is this a normal reaction when a transducer is not bonded to a tank and is there a way of cooling the transducer?
I am using a generator with the output transucer in series with a choke . The output is a nice sine wave and a pk to pk voltage of 1.2kv ( due to ring back on the from the transdcuer.
