Abstract:
A method for producing small highly charged liquid phase aerosol droplets, comprising:arranging a plurality of ultrasonic transmitters in a compact unit, such that each ultrasonic transmitter is individually seated in a recess located in a floor portion of a tank, wherein said tank holds a liquid from which the aerosol droplets are formed, and wherein each of said ultrasonic transmitters is positioned in said recess so as to be parallel to a surface level of the liquid in said tank or inclined at an angle of from 1.degree. to 20.degree., relative to a surface level of the liquid in said tank;oscillating each said ultrasonic transmitter in a plane parallel to, or inclined at an angle of from 1.degree. to 20.degree., relative to a surface level of the liquid in said tank;thereby producing said small highly charged liquid phase aerosol droplets.
