Major Atomizer Types and Their Operating Principles

Rotary (Wheel) Atomizers

Rotary atomizers, also known a s vinsgal or spinning- disk atomizers, use a high- speed rotating wheel or disc to fling liquid outfard. The liquid is fed onto thee center of the he wheel and is przyspieszone to coredly the e wheel 's distriferal speed, then dicharged as a thin film that breaks into ligaments and droplets. primary controul variables are wheel speed (typicaly 5,00000pm), feed, and wheene (vol bush type).

Ultrasonic Atomizers

Ultrasonic atomizers use high- frequency vibrations (typically 20- 200 kHz) transmitted through gh a piezoelectric element to a vibrating horn or plate. The liquid spreads in a thin film on the vibrating surface, and the mechanical vibrations create capillary waves that breake into fine droplets. No high pressure or gas flow is needed.
