Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1508382A1] The present invention is related to a method for atomising a liquid, comprising the steps of providing an ultrasonic atomiser comprising a mechanical amplifier (2) having a free end that constitutes an atomising surface (4), and a liquid feeding channel (7) supplying liquid to said atomising surface (4), fixing said ultrasonic atomiser in a case (5) by means of a fixing strap (6) provided with gas passages (10), said case (5) not being in contact with said mechanical amplifier (2), inducing an gas flow around said ultrasonic atomiser directed towards a series of holes in said atomising surface (4), and atomising liquid on said atomising surface (4). <IMAGE>
