Abstract
A device for comminuting a liquid, which produces at least two sprays of droplets formed by electrohydrodynamic comminution, the device being arranged so that in use sprays of opposing polarity are formed which are substantially admixed after formation, so as to provide a comminution having a residual electrical charge.
Claims13
A device for comminuting liquid, comprising a plurality of electrohydropdynamic comminution means for forming comminutions having opposite polarities and means for admixing said comminutions of opposite polarities to produce a final comminution having a residual charge other than neutral,
- each of the electrohydropdynamic comminution means comprising:
- a comminution site;
- a polarity-sensitive electrical pump for supplying liquid to the comminution site;
- a generator for supplying an electric charge to the polarity-sensitive electrical pump;
- and
- a one-way current path connecting the generator and the polarity-sensitive electrical pump.
A device for dispensing a comminution to the upper respiratory tract, comprising a liquid having medicinal qualities for the treatment of disorders of the nasal mucosa, a plurality of electrohydropdynamic comminution means for forming comminutions of the said liquid having opposite polarities and means for admixing the said comminutions of opposition polarities to produce a final comminution having a residual charge other than neutral,
- each of the electrohydrodynamic comminution means comprising:
- a comminution site;
- a polarity-sensitive electrical pump for supplying the said liquid to the comminution site;
- a generator for supplying an electric charge to the polarity-sensitive electrical pump;
- and
- a one-way current path connecting the generator and the polarity-sensitive electrical pump.
