ABSTRACT:
A nebulizer providing a moistened breathing mixture of aerosol for inhalation therapy is provided with an improved heater having a single heating element arranged in a heating housing, configured so as to support and heat the liquid in the nebulizer container and to also heat the aerosol discharged from the nebulizer so as to most efficiently utilize the heat energy and to most efficiently transfer heat energy from the heater to the aerosol. Passage of the aerosol through and accumulation in the relatively long annular accumulator that circumscribes the heater collects rain out from the aerosol and re-vaporizes the collected liquid to add further moisture to the aerosol.
