Patent ID: 7448790

Claim:
A cavitation system comprising: a cavitation chamber; a cavitation fluid circulatory system comprising: a cavitation fluid reservoir, wherein a cavitation fluid reservoir fluid capacity is larger than a cavitation chamber fluid capacity; a cavitation fluid pump; a plurality of conduits coupling said cavitation chamber to said cavitation fluid reservoir and said cavitation fluid pump; and means for directing flow of a cavitation fluid contained within said circulatory system in either a first direction or a second direction, wherein in said first direction said cavitation fluid is circulated by said cavitation fluid pump out of said cavitation fluid reservoir through said cavitation chamber and back to said cavitation fluid reservoir, and wherein in said second direction said cavitation fluid is drained out of said cavitation chamber and returned to said cavitation fluid reservoir; means for driving cavitation energy into said cavitation chamber; and means for degassing said cavitation fluid contained within said circulatory system.
