Abstract
A device and method for creating hydrodynamic cavitation in fluid is provided. The device can include a flow-through chamber having a first portion and a second portion, and a plurality of baffles provided within the second portion of the flow-through chamber. One or more of the plurality of baffles can be configured to be selectively movable into the first portion of the flow-through chamber to generate a hydrodynamic cavitation field downstream from each baffle moved into the first portion of the flow-through chamber.
Claims16
A device for creating hydrodynamic cavitation in fluid, the device comprising:
- a flow-through chamber having a first portion and a second portion;
- and
- a plurality of baffles provided within the second portion of the flow-through chamber,
- wherein one or more of the plurality of baffles are configured to be selectively movable into the first portion of the flow-through chamber to generate a hydrodynamic cavitation field downstream from each baffle moved into the first portion of the flow-through chamber.
A device for creating hydrodynamic cavitation in fluid, the device comprising:
- a chamber configured to permit fluid to flow therethrough, the chamber configured to provide for hydrodynamic cavitation in the fluid when fluid flow through the chamber is constricted;
- and
- an arrangement of a plurality of baffles, the baffles configured to constrict fluid flow through the chamber when internally accommodated within the chamber, wherein one or more baffles are selectively movable into a position where such one or more baffles are internally accommodated within the chamber.
A device for dynamically generating multiple stages of hydrodynamic cavitation in fluid, the device comprising:
- a housing having an inlet, an outlet, and internal chambers, the internal chambers including:
- a first chamber having a first cross-sectional area, the first chamber in fluid communication with the inlet;
- and
- a second chamber having a second cross-sectional area, the second cross-sectional area being greater than the first cross-sectional area, the second chamber in fluid communication with the first chamber and with the outlet;
- and
- a plurality of baffles contained in the housing and connected in a fixed position relative to one another along the length of a shaft, the baffles configured to be movable between the first and second chambers by positioning of the shaft to provide for one or more hydrodynamic cavitation stages in the fluid when a corresponding number of baffles are located in the first chamber.
A method of generating one or more stages of hydrodynamic cavitation in a fluid, the flow-through chamber having an upstream portion, a downstream portion, and a plurality of baffles contained in the downstream portion of the flow-through chamber, the method comprising:
- passing fluid through the flow-through chamber;
- and
- selectively moving one or more baffles into the upstream portion of the flow-through chamber to generate a hydrodynamic cavitation field in the fluid downstream from each baffle moved into the upstream portion of the flow-through chamber.
