Abstract:
1. A nebulizer assembly for excitation of liquids into aerosols comprising: a) an oscillation driver; b) at least one plate-shaped excitation device connected to the oscillation driver and having an impingement baffle having a plurality of impingement orifices formed therein; and c) a liquid delivery device including a plurality of capillary fibers forming micro membranes on an upper end thereof, the liquid delivery device is spaced apart from the at least one plate-shaped excitation device; wherein the impingement baffle oscillates the micro membranes and impinges the liquids outwardly through the micro membranes, such that kinetic energy of the impingement baffle decomposes, compresses and delivers nebulized liquid particles through the plurality of impingement orifices.
