The installation allows the heated liquid to be dispensed from the dispensing means in a pulsed operation.
Claims17
An installation for delivering heat to all or part of human or animal cell tissue by means of a liquid, said installation comprising:
- a heating unit for heating said liquid to a vapor state,
- an injection unit for injecting liquid into the heating unit,
- a means for diffusion of heated liquid inside the tissue,
- a means for conveying the heated liquid from the heating unit to the diffusion means,
- means for delivering the heated liquid inside the tissue in a vapor state at the diffusion means in a pulsed operation;
- and
- wherein the injection unit is in the form of a chamber which contains the liquid to be injected and in which a piston is moved in translation under the action of an electric or pneumatic actuator whose triggering, travel, force and speed of displacement are determined as a function of a desired rhythm, volume and pressure of injection of the liquid, the chamber communicating with the heating unit by way of a first valve.
