Abstract:
A method of vaporizing a fluid, comprising the steps of:providing a preliminary mixing chamber;introducing an aerosol into the mixing chamber;introducing air into the mixing chamber;mixing the aerosol and the air in the preliminary mixing chamber to form an aerosol-air mixture;providing a first vortex chamber;introducing the aerosol-air mixture tangentially into the first vortex chamber to create a vortical flow and to break down into smaller particles any non-vaporized particles in the aerosol-air mixture;maintaining a constant volume of the aerosol-air mixture as the aerosol-air mixture flows into and vortically within the first vortex chamber;isolating the flow of ambient air from entering the first vortex chamber.
