  • Patent number: 4746067
    Abstract: A device and method for aerosolizing a liquid in a gas using a pressurized gas by creating the fog or "steam" at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The liquid is drawn into the gas stream using a venturi pipe. The amount of entrained liquid is enhanced by directing the flow of liquid and gas against a deflector. Liquid entrainment is further enhanced by directing the flow past projections causing turbulence in the stream. The device may be operated in either a horizontal postion or vertical position by providing a liquid passage to the perimeter of the liquid reservoir by means of an angled liquid conduit formed between a pair of cone members.
