Abstract:
A device for atomizing liquids comprising:a) a rotatable apparatus for the reception of liquids to be atomized, the apparatus is defined by a cylinder having an interior chamber that runs the length of the cylinder with an internal diameter of about 10 to about 25 millimeters, the cylinder has an upper end with an opening into the interior chamber, which opening is adapted to receive liquids to be atomized, the cylinder has a closed lower end that terminates with a floor, the outer surface of the cylinder is defined by an outer casing having a plurality of circular hole-type nozzles extending up about 20 to about 120 millimeters from the lower end of the cylinder in an axial direction, the hole-type nozzles are in fluid communication with the interior chamber for introducing the liquid to be atomized into the nozzles; b) a drive operably connected to the cylinder for rotating the hollow cylinder; and c) a co-rotating hollow shaft that is removably attached to the cylinder at its upper end and through which liquids are introduced into the interior chamber of the cylinder through the opening.
