International ClassA61G 015/00Foreign Application Priority Data1995-09-27 GBAbstractAn atomising nozzle assembly and a method for generating a respirable spray of droplets of a size suitable for medical inhalation therapy from a liquid medicament. The nozzle assembly comprises a gas nozzle (2) for producing a jet of gas and a liquid nozzle (3) for ejecting the liquid to be atomised into the jet of gas at a position downstream of the gas nozzle (2). The gas nozzle (2) and the liquid nozzle (3) are configured such that the jet of gas impinges on the liquid at an acute angle to atomise the liquid. The nozzle assembly and method can create a respirable spray using a gas/liquid mass ratio of less than 0.5.Field of SearchFluid streams have angular junctionMaterial atomized in holder (e.g., nebulizer) Measured or trapped quantity for discharge Pressure reducer at holder outlet Fluid pressure in carrier supply line is vented Holder coupled to gas supply source Including mixing or combining with air, gas or steam Means for mixing treating agent with respiratory gas Means for supplying respiratory gas under positive pressure | |
