Abstract
Waterless large scale dispersion method for essential oils which includes containing the liquid essential oil in a reservoir, simultaneously heating and blowing a gas over a surface of liquid essential oil in the reservoir to convert the oil to vapor, controlling the flow of gas by bypassing a portion of the gas around the reservoir, and distributing the vapor via one or more nozzles into a very large scale space. A constant speed regenerative blower is used to heat and blow air through the reservoir. A simple bypass valve controls the air flow through the reservoir.

A method of waterless large scale dispersion of essential oil comprising:
- blowing a gas over a surface of liquid essential oil to convert the oil to vapor, and distributing the vapor via one or more nozzles into a very large scale space, wherein the gas is simultaneously heated and blown by a regenerative blower.
A method of waterless large scale dispersion of essential oil comprising:
- containing the liquid essential oil in a reservoir,
- simultaneously heating and blowing a gas by a regenerative blower over a surface of liquid essential oil in the reservoir to convert the oil to vapor,
- controlling the flow of gas by bypassing a portion of the gas around the reservoir, and
- distributing the vapor via one or more nozzles into a very large scale space.
