Cavitation
The term cavitation refers to a physical phenomenon involving hydraulic systems and machines. It is the formation of small bubbles of vapour that collapse instantaneously to generate small, very high-pressure jets which, in the long term, damage the pump. In general, given that cavitation is the result of friction and turbulence in […]
