A cavitation system and method of use for loading the cavitation medium with a source gas, e.g., a reactant, prior to cavitation is provided. The cavitation system includes a cavitation chamber with suitable cavitation drivers and a pressurized gas source coupled to the chamber. A valve interposed between the source gas and the cavitation chamber controls the reactant loading process. In another aspect, a vacuum system is coupled to the cavitation system for use during degassing. The vacuum system may include a cold trap. Preferably multiple valves are used to couple/de-couple the vacuum system and the gas source to the cavitation system when required, for example as a means of protecting associated pressure gauges. In another aspect, the cavitation chamber and the cavitation medium fill reservoir as well as any coupling conduits in which the cavitation fluid is expected to flow are heated to a temperature greater than the melting temperature of the intended cavitation medium. Preferably the system components that must be heated are located within an oven. Alternately the desired temperature can be reached using localized heaters.
