Abstract

An atomizing unit comprises a plurality of nozzle-members, each of which is capable of producing a compressed air flow entraining a number of minute liquid-particles. The nozzle-members are mounted on the unit in a manner such that respective tube-like flows of two-phase discharged from the respective nozzle-members further violently collide among them at a point forwardly spaced by a predetermined distance from a leading head of the unit. By the arrangement mentioned above, minute liquid-particles entrained by the respective tube-like flows are further split into a still large number of much finer liquid-particles and then further forwardly dispersed as a stream of mist by a secondary flow produced at the point mentioned above.
