Abstract
A micro bubble generating system includes a shell having a well for retaining a first liquid to immerse an object. A micro bubble apparatus is provide to the shell for providing a pressurized mixture of a second liquid and a dissolved gas into the well so as to create a plurality of micro bubbles within the first liquid for engaging the object.
Claims20
A micro bubble generating apparatus, comprising:
- a first fluid passage, in a first part, having a progressively larger height to width ratio in a direction towards a fluid flow along its length and in a second part having a constant width;
- a second fluid passage being disposed at an angle with respect to the first fluid passage;
- a third fluid passage fluidly connected to the second fluid passage for generating a plurality of micro bubbles in which a fluid flow direction is opposed to the direction of the fluid flow of the first fluid passage;
- and
- an opening for releasing the plurality of micro bubbles fluidly connected downstream of the third fluid passage.

A micro bubble generating apparatus, comprising:
- an orifice body, the orifice body having a first fluid passage being disposed therein;
- and the first fluid passage for increasing a velocity of a pressurized mixture of a liquid and a dissolved gas in a direction towards a fluid flow,
- a housing body having a mixing chamber being disposed at an angle with respect to the first fluid passage for generating a plurality of micro bubbles from the mixture;
- wherein the orifice body is engaged with a housing body for defining a third fluid passage provided between an external surface of the orifice body and an interior surface of the housing body, the third fluid passage being connected to the mixing chamber;
- and
- a plurality of openings in the housing body connected to the third fluid passage for releasing the plurality of micro bubbles.
