An inexpensive uniform-size aerosol generator
Aleksandr V Sergeyev1 and Raymond A Shaw
Show affiliationsDESIGN NOTE
A simple, inexpensive apparatus for generating aerosol particles with uniform size can be built from commonly available inkjet printer technology. The apparatus is capable of producing a continuous stream of liquid droplets at frequencies up to order 104 Hz, or it can produce single droplets on demand. At low frequencies (
103 Hz) where coalescence is not important, droplets have a radius of approximately 17 µm and initial velocity of approximately 7 m s−1. The aerosol generator can be used with water, and the aerosol output is steady over hours.
