Abstract: A device for spraying a liquid has a rotating surface, preferably one with an edge apron which is angled obliquely toward the outside, from whose possibly serrated outer spraying edge the liquid is flung out. The rotating surface is partially covered by a housing which is provided with an opening which leaves a partial circumference free. The device has a reservoir and a flow path for collecting retained drops, in whose circulation a pump is provided which is embodied to reunite collected liquid with the inflowing liquid. A conveying surface of a pump, preferably a friction pump, is disposed coaxially with the axis of rotation of the rotating surface.
