Abstract:
A vaporizer comprising:disks each including an aperture at a central portion thereof; a hollow pipe having apertures for permitting radial outflow of a liquid, with said hollow pipe extending through said aperture of each of said discs so as to form a stack of said discs; a resilient member for applying a biasing force to said discs; an air supply passage separate from said hollow pipe; and structure for applying a force, to be generated by air supplied through said air supply passage, against the biasing force to thereby remove the biasing force from said discs; wherein the liquid in said hollow pipe is adapted to be delivered from said apertures to spaces between said discs and vaporized in the spaces between said discs, and when the biasing force is removed from said discs the spaces between said discs are increased in size such that cleaning of said discs can be effectively conducted.
