Patent ID: 7185829

Claim:
In a method for producing a first mist from a spray head ( 1 ) having a first medium supplied under pressure in a flow direction through at least one first channel ( 4 ) into at least one channel zone ( 6 ) narrower in a direction transverse to the flow direction than the first channel ( 4 ) and then into a channel space ( 7 ) wider in a direction transverse to the flow of medium than the channel zone to provide a second mist of the first medium, the improvements comprising: influencing the second mist by at least one of increasing a linear momentum or reducing a droplet size, thereof by supplying into the channel space ( 7 ) at least one second medium to provide the first mist, characterized in that the second medium is a gas supplied under pressure into the channel space ( 7 ) and in that the flow of the first medium is deflected between the first channel ( 4 ) and the at least one channel zone ( 6 ).
