Atomisation method for liquids, and atomisation device for implementing the method. The liquid mist generated by a swirl nozzle (turbulence nozzle) (1) is separated in part by baffles (5, 6) arranged downstream of the nozzle. By means of the variable distance between nozzle and baffles, the liquid throughput (flow rate) can be regulated in a ratio of 1:25. <IMAGE>
