Patent Abstract

The device (1) has a housing (2) enclosing a cavity (3) plane elements (4,5). The plane elements are provided with respective actuators (6,7) for exciting the vibration of the plane elements. An aperture (10) is formed in the housing in an area between the plane elements and is adjoined to the interruption region (9) of the housing. An O-ring (8) is arranged between the plane elements. The O-ring is made of thermoplastic or elastomer. An independent claim is included for method for operating device for generating flow of fluid.
