Abstract
A hydrodynamic cavitation unit, disc, or producer for a hydrodynamic cavitation device is provided. The hydrodynamic cavitation device is configured for fluid communication with an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit. The hydrodynamic cavitation unit, disc, or producer includes a body; and a plurality of lumens through the body. Each of the lumens is configured for fluid communication from the inlet conduit, through the body, and to the outlet conduit. A ratio of a total cross-sectional area of the lumens within the hydrodynamic cavitation disc to a cross-sectional area of the inlet conduit is greater than or equal to about 1:1 upstream of a hydrodynamic cavitation promotion zone and constricts below about 1:1 within the hydrodynamic cavitation promotion zone. A cap is located downstream of the inlet conduit and upstream of the hydrodynamic cavitation producer. Related methods of manufacturing, apparatuses, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.
