A nanobubble generator, comprising:
- a) an inlet for a liquid source:
- b) a housing, comprising:
- a top, a bottom, and a wall that circumscribes an interior portion, the interior portion, further comprising:
- i) an upper chamber, comprising:
- 1) a top in fluid communication with the inlet;
- 2) a fluid reservoir;
- and,
- 3) a bottom, comprising:
- a plurality of liquid openings (to divide the incoming liquid into a plurality of streams);
- ii) a lower chamber, comprising:
- 1) a plurality of mixing channels housed therein, the mixing channels are substantially parallel to each adjacent mixing channel and are angled inward and the mixing channels are configured to induce venturi cavitation and to provide a confined path for liquid and gas to mix, each mixing channel, comprises:
- a) a liquid inlet in fluid communication with one of the liquid openings of the upper chamber bottom;
- b) a gas inlet;
- and,
- c) an outlet;
- iii) at least one gas opening through the housing wall configured to be in gas communication with each gas inlet of the lower chamber:
- iv) a mixing chamber located below the lower chamber and configured to receive the output from the plurality of mixing channel outlets, the mixing chamber, further comprising:
- 1) a top in liquid and gas communication with the mixing channel outlets;
- 2) a body configured to mix the liquid and gas received from the mixing channel outlets;
- 3) a bottom;
- c) an outlet configured to receive the contents of the mixing chamber.
