METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE FORMATION OF DROPLETS

摘要

A method and an apparatus for dividing a liquid into droplets is disclosed. One or several disks (35) rotate about an axis (A) and are provided, at their outer peripheral edges, with circumferentially equidistant, uniform cusps. A distributing means (20) is adapted to distribute the liquid uniformly and circumferentially on the disks (35), whereby the liquid discharged onto the disks (35) is formed into a uniform thickness film which spreads radially outwardly towards the said cusps (36) and is divided thereby into uniform size droplets. The distributing means (20) may comprise a dosing container (21) which is rotationally independent of the disks (30) and from which the liquid is dosed through one or several dosing openings (26) onto the disk or disks (35), said disks (35) preferably being rotated relative to said dosing openings (26).
