Abstract:
An apparatus for realizing a method for applying a flowable substance to a flat or curved product includes a nozzle unit including a nozzle valve having a nozzle end with an outlet opening. The nozzle end has at least one cooling zone. A mechanism supplies the at least one cooling zone with at least one of moist and temperature-moderated air so that condensation water forms as a result of the impact between the supplied moist and/or temperature-moderated air and the at least one cooling zone. A discharge device to which the nozzle end is operatively connected is adapted to discharge the condensation water or the condensation water loaded with dirt particles for ensuring a continuous, unobstructed flow of the flowable substance from the nozzle outlet opening.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the discharge device includes at least one opening through which at least a partial amount of the moist and/or temperature-moderated air that is intended for admittance to the nozzle end flows into the discharge device and that this partial amount of air is directed at least toward the nozzle outlet opening.
