METODO Y DISPOSITIVO PARA LA PRODUCCION, EXTRACCION Y ENTREGA DE NIEBLA DE GOTITAS ULTRAFINAS

Un dispositivo para generar una niebla (46), que comprende: un recipiente (20); un dispositivo (10) generador de ondas de alta frecuenta; un depósito (14) para contener fluido en comunicación con el dispositivo (10) generador de ondas de alta frecuencia para producir una columna (28) de fuente que tiene una parte central y una parte exterior, dentro del recipiente; una entrada (34) de medio portador situada con respecto a la columna (28) de fuente para dirigir un flujo (30) de medio portador alrededor de la parte exterior (32) de la columna (28) de fuente, sin perturbar significativamente la parte central de la columna (28) de fuente; y una salida (38) de niebla situada en el recipiente (20) para la emisión de niebla (46). The present invention provides a method and device for production, extraction and delivery of an aerosol mist with ultrafine droplets. A high frequency wave generating device or other process generates very small particles or droplets from a reservoir of liquid or material to be atomized. A helical flow of a carrier gas medium such as air is directed into a container and creates a high throughput aerosol of air and fine droplets. The aerosol is delivered through a suitable outlet such as by deflecting the aerosol upwards and providing a tube centrally situated with respect to the helical flow such that the aerosol will discharge through the tube in high quantity of throughput and high quality of stable aerosol of very fine mist droplets. The methods described utilize in-situ extraction of fine mist droplets using helical flow behavior as opposed to forced convection ejection of mist or inertial separation of droplets by separators.
