A nozzle is connected to the delivery line for receiving the substance from the delivery line. The nozzle has at least one exit opening which allows passing of the substance therethrough for expanding the substance from the first pressure to a second pressure which is lower than the first pressure for solidifying the substance and producing aerosol. Condensation preventing means is provided for preventing condensation from forming on the delivery line and/or on the nozzle.
