Abstract

To provide a technology capable of resolving a liquid film in at least one venturi channel of one or more venturi channels.SOLUTION: A micro-bubble generating device is equipped with a body case that has an inflow portion and an outflow portion, and a first micro-bubble generating portion that is stored in the body case and is provided between the inflow portion and the outflow portion. The first micro-bubble generating portion is equipped with one or more venturi channels. The one or more venturi channels are equipped with a diameter-contracting channel contracting a channel diameter toward the downstream side, and a diameter-expanding channel provided on the downstream side with respect to the diameter-contracting channel and expanding a channel diameter toward the downstream side. In at least one of the one or more venturi channels, a recessed slit from an inside surface of the venturi channel outward in a diametrical direction is formed. The slit is continuously provided from a first end portion matching a downstream end of the diameter-expanding channel to a second end portion located on the upstream side with respect to the downstream end.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
