  • Patent number: 9566211
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for generating a nanoaerosol, wherein at least one fluid to be atomized is atomized in a nozzle via a nozzle opening of the nozzle along a discharge direction in the form of fluid particles, the atomized fluid particles are deflected from the discharge direction and larger fluid particles are at least partially separated from smaller fluid particles, the separated larger fluid particles are returned to the fluid to be atomized and the smaller fluid particles are dispensed onto the environment. A cartridge in which the nozzle and the fluid to be atomized are arranged is used. According to the invention, a stream of a carrier gas is generated in the nozzle and at least one fluid to be atomized is brought into contact with the carrier gas.

  • Publication number: 20160250439
    Abstract: An arrangement for dispensing a fluid comprises a fluid cartridge comprising a casing for accommodating the fluid and a fluid dispensing unit configured for generating particles upon feeding the fluid in the casing with pressurized medium. The arrangement further comprises a dispenser device comprising a cartridge accommodation unit configured for accommodating the fluid cartridge and a pressure feed unit configured for feeding the fluid in a casing of the fluid cartridge with a pressurized medium upon accommodating the fluid cartridge in the cartridge accommodation unit to thereby generate the particles upon feeding the fluid in the casing with the pressurized medium.

  • Patent number: 9296551
    Abstract: A fluid cartridge (100) for dispensing a fluid, the fluid cartridge (100) comprising a casing (102) for accommodating the fluid, a pressure feed interface (104) configured for being coupled to a pressure feed unit (106) for feeding the fluid in the casing (102) with pressurized medium, a fluid dispensing unit (108) configured for generating particles, particularly fluid particles, upon feeding the fluid in the casing (102) with pressurized medium, and a fluidic path (110) in the casing (102) being opened or openable for enabling the particles, particularly fluid particles, to leave the casing (102) through the fluidic path (110).
