Abstract
A liquid mist for being conveyed by a carrier gas stream is produced from a liquid by atomizing the liquid into the carrier gas stream in the form of a collection of droplets, deflecting the collection of droplets in the carrier gas stream at a deflection region, separating droplets in the collection of droplets which exceed a maximum size from the carrier gas stream, collecting at least a part of the separated droplets on at least one heatable contact surface, and at least partially vaporizing them into the carrier gas stream.

A method of producing from a liquid a liquid mist which can be transported in a carrier gas stream, comprising:
- atomizing the liquid in an atomization region into a carrier gas stream in the form of a collection of droplets,
- deflecting the collection of droplets in the carrier gas stream at a deflection region,
- in the deflection region, separating droplets in the collection of droplets which exceed a maximum size from the carrier gas stream,
- collecting at least a part of the separated droplets on at least one heatable contact surface, and
- at least partially vaporizing them into the carrier gas stream.
An apparatus for generating from a liquid a liquid mist which can be transported in a carrier gas stream, the apparatus comprising:
- a mixing chamber,
- at least one inlet provided in the mixing chamber for a carrier gas stream,
- at least one atomizer nozzle provided in a nozzle region of the mixing chamber for producing a spray jet of a liquid mist into the carrier gas stream as a collection of droplets,
- at least one outlet provided in the mixing chamber for the carrier gas stream charged with the liquid mist, and
- a deflection surface provided in the mixing chamber for a carrier gas portion carrying the collection of droplets, said deflection surface being spaced from an opening of the nozzle and being followed by the at least one outlet for the carrier gas stream charged with the liquid mist,
- wherein the at least one inlet opening provided in the nozzle region of the mixing chamber is oriented in the direction of the spray jet for at least part of the carrier gas stream.
