Abstract
A method and device are provided for mixing and manipulating fluids in a multi-stage flow-through hydrodynamic cavitation system. The system comprises a cylindrical device having a flowpath with a multi-jet nozzle, spiral guides, a vortex generator and an atomizing cone disposed sequentially therein to induce cavitational features in a fluidic mixture. The sequential elements are designed to induce and dissipate the cavitational features in a multi-stage treatment process.

A method for processing a fluidic mixture in a multi-stage hydrodynamic cavitation device, comprising the steps of:
- providing a flowpath through the hydrodynamic cavitation device;
- pumping the fluidic mixture through a multi-jet nozzle having a plurality of channels, wherein the multi-jet nozzle creates cavitation features in the fluidic mixture;
- passing the fluidic mixture over a plurality of spiral guides disposed in a working chamber, wherein the spiral guides create cavitation features in the fluidic mixture;
- conveying the fluidic mixture over a plurality of flow guides in a vortex chamber, wherein the flow guides and vortex chamber create cavitational features in the fluidic mixture;
- and
- introducing the fluidic mixture to an atomizing cone which has an increasing cross-sectional area, wherein the fluidic mixture loses all cavitational features.
A multi-stage hydrodynamic cavitation device for processing a fluidic mixture, comprising:
- a cylindrical housing having a flowpath therethrough and an inlet cone disposed in an inlet to the flowpath;
- a multi-jet nozzle positioned in the flowpath after the inlet cone, the multi-jet nozzle having a plurality of channels disposed around a perimeter ring of the multi-jet nozzle;
- a working chamber in the flowpath after the multi-jet nozzle, the working chamber having a generally annular-conical shape with a decreasing diameter along the flowpath;
- a plurality of spiral guides disposed in the working chamber running from the channels on the multi-jet nozzle through the working chamber;
- a vortex generator in the flowpath after the working chamber, the vortex generator comprised of a front disk, a rear disk and a cylinder body disposed therebetween, the front and rear disks including curved flow guides running from a central hole to an annular gap surrounding the cylinder body;
- and
- an atomizing cone in the flowpath after the vortex chamber.
