Abstract
The device for forming an aerosol has a device for adjusting the amount of particle former transported by the spray jet per time unit and/or a device for adjusting the amount of compressed gas passing per time unit through the wall. Such a device can be used for fluid treatment of sensitive, easily deformable objects, especially for their cooling, or other applications requiring certain metering of the particle formation, for example, in a burner. By providing a permeable wall having pores, it is possible to produce fluid particles with minimal kinetic energy by the effect of the compressed gas flowing through the permeable wall so that at the exit side of the wall a fluid particle stream with particles having extremely low energy per particle can be produced.
Claims16
A device for producing an aerosol from an aerosol former, the device comprising a permeable wall (20) having through channels configured to form fluid particles of the aerosol, a nozzle (11) for applying the aerosol former in the form of a spray jet (12) onto the permeable wall (20), and a device for loading the permeable wall (20) with a compressed gas penetrating the permeable wall while entraining the aerosol former under formation of the aerosol, and further comprising at least one of a device for adjusting the amount of the aerosol former transported by the spray jet (12) per time unit and a device (24) for adjusting the amount of compressed gas flowing through the wall per time unit.
