Classification: CPC F  B  Y | IPC B  F

Claim 0:
1. An atomizer unit of a minimal quantity lubrication system for cooling and/or lubricating a subtractive machining process between a tool and a workpiece at a machining location,
the atomizer unit comprising a chamber assembly comprising an injection chamber and comprising an atomizer chamber, the injection chamber being connected to the atomizer chamber by a nozzle,
the atomizer unit comprising at least one first infeed duct for feeding a first compressed air flow into the injection chamber, and at least one second infeed duct for feeding a second compressed air flow into the atomizer chamber,
the atomizer unit comprising an injector valve for injecting a coolant and/or lubricant into the first compressed air flow in the injection region of the injection chamber,
the atomizer unit being designed in such a manner that the first compressed air flow, from the injection chamber flows through the nozzle into the atomizer chamber and therein is atomized by the nozzle,
the first compressed air flow being unified with the second compressed air flow in the atomizer chamber so as to form a transport flow for transporting the injected coolant and/or lubricant and being directable to the machining location,
the atomizer unit comprising a heating which heats the coolant and/or lubricant and/or the first compressed air flow and/or the second compressed air flow and/or the transport flow.
