<p>Object of the present invention is an apparatus for producing salt aerosol, preferably NaCl aerosol suitable for treating respiratory diseases, the apparatus comprising a ventilator, a delivery pipeline connected to the output of the ventilator, and the pipeline is connected to a throat for entering ground salt containing NaCl salt into the air streaming in the delivery pipeline for producing aerosol as a mixture of salt and air. The essence of the present invention lays in that in the pipeline section being between the output of ventilator (1) and the pipeline connection to throat (5) the delivery pipeline (2) is provided with a heating device (4) and at the output of delivery pipeline (2) a collisional-ionization arrangement (7) is placed. A further object of the present invention is a method for operating the apparatus according to the invention. The essence of the method is switching on the heating device for a given time for heating the aerosol. Than switching on the ventilator and the grinding mill, setting the flow rate of the aerosol comprising air and ground salt particles and the aerosol streaming towards the steel grids assembly of the collisional-ionization arrangement to about 27 m/sec so that the temperature being 100 - 130°C at the beginning of the air blast and decreasing to 36 - 40°C during cca. 1,5 minutes to the end of the air blast. Switching off the ventilator, the grinding mill and the heating device after some minutes', preferably after one and a half to three and a half minutes' operation, then allowing the aerosol to be spread in the air for 15 minutes before beginning of the treatment and carrying out the treatment preferably for 15 - 60 minutes.</p> |
