Atomization device

An atomizer comprising:

• an atomization chamber for receiving a liquid;
• at least one nebulizer for atomizing the liquid into a vapor;
• and
• an exit port for discharging the vapor thus generated from the atomization chamber,
• wherein at least one device for deflecting the vapor is arranged in an area above a surface of the liquid,
• wherein an acceleration prism formed in an area of the exit port projects above the liquid level and is arranged such that a cross-sectional narrowing of the atomization chamber is formed,
• wherein the at least one device for deflecting the vapor comprises a turbulence shield arranged above the liquid surface in an interior of the atomization chamber, a free end of the turbulence shield projecting into the atomization chamber is arranged at a distance from a side wall of the atomization chamber to form an opening cross-section, such that the atomization chamber is separated into an upper region and a lower region except for the opening cross-section,
• wherein the turbulence shield has a horizontal wall section and an inclined wall section connected thereto and inclined towards the liquid surface, and
• wherein the vapor ascending from the liquid is moved towards the exit port via a pressure device arranged in the upper region of the atomization chamber, via which pressure within the atomization chamber is increased, the pressure device comprising at least one fan, via which air is blown into the atomization chamber from its surroundings, such that an airflow is created through the opening cross-section, which moves the vapor ascending from the liquid towards the exit port.
