The collison nebulizer: Description, performance and application

Abstract The Collison nebulizer is widely used to produce fine aerosols from a liquid supply. Details of its design and operating characteristics are given, including air and liquid consumption, aerosol output rate and droplet size distribution. An adaptor for the outlet of the nebulizer is also described. This is used when monodispersed aerosols are being generated and enables the output of particles to be increased.
