Zusammenfassung:A rotary cup atomizer, eg for atomizing diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) in a turbocharger, comprises a cup 40 having a central axis coincident with the turbine axis A and a concentric frustoconical wall 43 extending from a base 41 and diverging from the central axis A, the edge of the wall 43 distal from the base 41 defining the open side of the cup 40. The inner surface 44 of the wall 43, facing the axis A, has a plurality of protrusions, eg ribs or fins, and/or recesses, eg straight or helical grooves 46. The groove depth may increase near the open side to form slots 58. Through-holes 70 may be provided in the wall 43. The rotary cup 40 may be integrally formed in the hub (36, fig.8) of a turbine wheel (33). For connecting to a shaft, the cup 40 may be held by a tool (100, fig.9) having protrusions (105) and/or recesses complementary to those of the cup; before the tool is removed, an impeller may be mounted at the other end of the shaft.
