ATOMIZER AND ATOMIZING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an atomizer capable of generating minute mist from liquid such as refined oil and facilitating clean wiping and removal of solidified material (scale) which is produced near a mist jetting pore and may cause clogging. SOLUTION: The atomizer includes: a storage tank 1 for liquid having a stopper 14 on the upper part; a mist release port being disposed on the stopper 14 of the storage tank; and a double pipe composed of an inner pipe 21 through which the compressed air passes and an outer pipe 22 which forms a liquid passage. The inner pipe has an air inlet 21a connected to a compressed air generation source on the lower part and has an air jetting pore 21b on the upper part. The outer pipe has a liquid suction port 22a which opens into the storage tank 1 on the lower part and has the mist jetting pore 22c on the upper part. The liquid passage 22b is formed between an outer pipe inner circumferential wall and an inner pipe outer circumferential wall, the liquid in the storage tank 1 is sucked via the liquid passage and a level thin film formed on the periphery of the air jetting pore 21b is mist-formed by an air flow jetted from the air jetting pore, and the produced mist is made more minute by interference of mist jetting pore.
