  • Publication number: 20130269688
    Abstract: A nebulizer (10) includes a housing (12) having an inlet (18), a compressor (28), a reservoir (58) and a nozzle assembly (56) disposed therein. The compressor includes a number of rotor members (30), each rotor member being rotatable about a respective axis (32) with each respective axis being parallel with every other respective axis and spaced an equal distance (r) from a central axis (34) of the compressor. The compressor further includes a compression chamber (36) and a motor(38). The compression chamber has a variable volume defined by the relative positioning of the number of rotor members. The compression chamber is in selective fluid communication with the inlet. The motor has an output shaft (40) operatively coupled to the number of rotor members in a manner such that rotation of the output shaft causes rotation of each rotor member of the number of rotor members. The motor is adapted to be coupled to a power source. The reservoir is adapted to receive a quantity of medication (60).
