摘要

The aerosol device (1) for the lubricating and/or cooling of tools (16) or workpieces (17) has an aerosol producer (3) and a fluid selecting unit (13) in the flow path (11) of the aerosol to the consumer. The fluid selecting unit has a branch (15') from the flow path and from the operating position can be transferred to a bypass position, whereby in the bypass position the aerosol producer is connected to the branch to conduct aerosol. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a machine tool equipped with the aerosol device; (b) a retrofit kit for an aerosol device; and (c) a method especially for the lubricating and/or cooling of aerosol consumers such as tools and/or workpieces.
