摘要： An acoustic driver assembly for use with any of a variety of cavitation chamber configurations, including spherical and cylindrical chambers as well as chambers that include at least one flat coupling surface. The acoustic driver assembly includes at least one transducer, a head mass and a tail mass. The end surface of the head mass is shaped to limit the contact area between the head mass of the driver assembly and the cavitation chamber to which the driver is attached, the contact area being limited to a centrally located contact region. The area of contact is controlled by limiting its size and/or shaping its surface.

摘要： A method of assembling multiple port assemblies in a cavitation chamber is provided. The method is comprised of boring at least two ports of different sizes in a cavitation chamber wall of the cavitation chamber. The external port diameter of the smaller port is smaller than that port's internal port diameter. A member selected from the group consisting of windows, plugs, feed-throughs, sensors, transducers and couplers is inserted into the chamber through the larger port and positioned within the smaller port. The member can be secured within the smaller port with an adhesive. A mounting ring/retaining ring, retaining coupler or port cover seals the second, larger port. A second member selected from the group consisting of windows, plugs, feed-throughs, sensors, transducers and couplers can be positioned within a cone-shaped port within the mounting ring or retaining coupler. A feed-thru, sensor, transducer or coupler can be integrated into the port cover. To aid the assembly process, specialized tools can be used to position the member within the smaller port.

摘要： A method and apparatus of circulating cavitation fluid within a cavitation fluid circulatory system is provided. The system provides a means of circulating the cavitation fluid through a cavitation chamber, before or during cavitation chamber operation, as well as a means of draining and filling the chamber with minimal, if any, exposure of the cavitation fluid to the outside environment. The apparatus includes a network of conduits coupling the cavitation chamber to a cavitation fluid reservoir and at least one external fluid pump. Preferably the cavitation fluid reservoir serves the dual function of fluid reservoir and degassing chamber. Manipulation of various valves within the conduit network allows the cavitation fluid to either be pumped from the reservoir into the cavitation chamber or from the cavitation chamber into the reservoir. During cavitation chamber operation, the same pump and conduit network can be used to continuously or intermittently circulate the cavitation fluid through the degassing system. A vacuum pump coupled to the degassing system can operate continuously or intermittently during system degassing. In another aspect, the cavitation fluid circulation system includes a bubble trap immediately following the fluid pump, thus providing a means of capturing bubbles generated during the pumping operation. In yet another aspect, the cavitation fluid circulation system includes a filter, preferably for removing contaminants that could disrupt the cavitation process. In yet another aspect, the cavitation fluid circulation system includes a heat exchange system, thus allowing the temperature of the cavitation fluid to be controlled.

摘要： A port assembly for use with a single piece cavitation chamber, typically a spherical chamber, is provided. The port assembly includes a port, a mounting ring, a retaining ring and a central member mounted within the mounting ring. The mounting ring and the retaining ring can be fabricated from a single piece of material, thus combining the functions of both rings into a single retaining coupler. The mounting ring includes a cone-shaped port in which the port diameter corresponding to the external surface is smaller than the port diameter corresponding to the internal surface. The central member is cone-shaped such that it fits within the mounting ring.
