Abstract
A process and apparatus for the fine dispersion of liquid or powder in a gaseous medium, preferably in air. The liquid or powder is placed into an ejection tube (2) and pressurized gaseous propellant (4) is conducted at explosion-like speed behind the charge (1). The apparatus has an ejection tube (2) containing the liquid or powder charge (1), a propellant container (3) connected with one end of the ejection tube (2). The ejection tube (2) and propellant container (3) are interconnected by at least one transfer port (8) closed by a quick-action locking element.

Process for the fine dispersion of liquid or powders in gaseous medium, characterized in that a charge (1) of the liquid or powder is put into an ejection tube (2), and pressurized gaseous propellant (4) is admitted at explosion-like speed behind the charge (1), container (3) is filled with said propellant (4) of at least 10 bar pressure, and the propellant (4) is conducted from the container (3) behind the charge (1) in the ejection tube (2), with a maximum of 20 msec., and wherein the volume of said charge (1) amounts to 25-100% of the volume of the ejection tube (2), and the volume of said propellant (4) amount to 30-750 times the volume of the charge (1) in normal condition.
Apparatus for the fine dispersion of liquid or powder in gaseous medium, comprising an ejection tube (2) taking in a charge of the liquid or powder (1), one end of the ejection tube (2) being connected with a propellant container (3), the ejection tube (2) being interconnected with the propellant container (3) by at least one transfer port (8) closed by a quick-action locking element, wherein the ration (L/D) between the length (L) of the ejection tube (2) and its inside diameter (d) is 2 to 20.
A process for the fine dispersion of liquid or powders in gaseous medium, utilizing an ejection tube (2) taking in a charge of the liquid or powder, one end of the ejection tube (2) being connected with a propellant container (3), the ejection tube (2) being interconnected with the propellant container (3) by at least one transfer port (8) closed by a quick-action locking element, comprising emplacing the liquid or powder (1) in the ejection tube (2), emplacing a propellant (4) in the propellant container (3), and actuating the quick-action locking element to interconnect the propellant container (3) with the ejection tube (2) via said at least one transfer port (8) thereby to admit said propellant (4) at explosion-like speed behind the charge, wherein a propellant container (3) is filled with said propellant (4) of at least 10 bar pressure, and the propellant (4) is conducted from the propellant container (3) behind the charge (1) in the ejection tube (2) in a maximum of 20 msec., said charge (1) amount to 25-100% of the volume of the ejection tube (2), and said propellant (4) amounts to 30-750 times the volume of the charge (1) in normal condition.
