NANOPARTICULATE-AEROSOL GENERATOR AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUSLY GENERATING AEROSOLS, ASSOCIATED WITH SAID GENERATOR

摘要

The object of the present invention relates to a nanoparticulate aerosol generator comprising a compressed gas reservoir (1) connected to a nanoparticulate material receptacle (2) through an operational valve (8′), wherein said receptacle (2) comprises an outlet hole (3) for the aerosol. Advantageously, the outlet of said nanoparticulate material receptacle (2) is connected to or inserted into a pressurized aerosol distribution chamber (4) equipped with a hole (9) for the exit of said aerosol out of the chamber (4). The invention provides the possibility of using different types of nanoparticles with sizes less than 100 nanometers continuously over time during long production periods of more than three hours. The invention also relates to a method for continuously generating nanoparticulate aerosols associated with the mentioned generator.
