Abstract: A method and apparatus for regulating the temperature of the cavitation medium for a cavitation chamber is provided. A heat exchange fluid is pumped through a heat exchange conduit coupled to a heat exchange cavity within the cavitation chamber, the heat exchange cavity formed between an inner chamber shell and an outer chamber shell. An external heat exchanger, coupled either directly or indirectly to the heat exchange conduit, regulates the temperature of the heat exchange fluid which, in turn, regulates the temperature of cavitation medium within the cavitation chamber. The heat exchanger can be used to lower the temperature of the cavitation medium to a temperature less than the ambient temperature; to withdraw excess heat from the cavitation medium; or to heat the cavitation medium to the desired operating temperature. The heat exchanger can utilize heated heat exchange fluid, cooled heat exchange fluid, thermoelectric coolers, heat sinks, refrigeration systems or heaters.

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 dual 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 of from the cavitation chamber into the reservoir. A vacuum pump coupled to the degassing system can operate continuously or intermittently. The cavitation fluid circulation system can include a bubble trap and/or a heat exchange system.

Abstract: A method of degassing cavitation fluid using a closed-loop cavitation fluid circulatory system is provided. The procedure is comprised of multiple stages. In one approach, the cavitation fluid contained within the fluid reservoir is first degassed, then the fluid is pumped into the cavitation chamber and cavitated. The circulatory system provides a means of pumping the gases from the chamber and the vacuum system provides a means of periodically eliminating the gases from the system. In a second approach, the cavitation fluid is initially circulated through the cavitation chamber, reservoir and the circulatory system while the fluid within the chamber is cavitated. During the second stage, pumping of the cavitation fluid through the chamber is discontinued. With either approach, a third stage of degassing can be employed in which cavities are formed within the cavitation fluid within the chamber and then cavitated. The released dissolved gases are then removed.
