Abstract: A cavitator utilizes hydrodynamic effects to create a compression-decompression effect on a fluid or on a mixture of fluids, resulting in cavitation effects and the generation of ultrafine bubbles. The cavitator comprises a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a compression-decompression chamber situated between the inlet and outlet. The fluid is forced through the chamber under controlled pressure, causing hydrodynamic effects to generate the compression-decompression effect and ultrafine bubbles. This results in cavitation effects, which can be utilized for various applications, such as cleaning, mixing, or milling. The cavitator is designed to be compact, efficient, easy to use, requiring minimal maintenance, and offers a cost-effective solution for generating cavitation effects.
