ABSTRACT:
The liquid to be atomized is uniformly sprayed on the inner surface of a hollow rotating cylinder, for example by means of one- or two-fluid-nozzles and is thus distributed on bores provided in the cylinder wall. The rotation of the cylinder causes the liquid to flow outwards through the bores. Droplets are generated when the liquid flows out of the bores by laminary decomposition of the jet. The flow rate in each bore lies in the range 1.0<V.sub.B (a.sup.3 .rho..sup.5 /.sigma..sup.5).sup.0.25 <16 to prevent the droplets from becoming too large and to satisfy the condition of an adequate flow laminarity, i.e. for the value of the Reynolds number for the continuous liquid flow in the boress not to exceed Re.sub..delta. 400. V.sub.B represents the flow rate of the liquid in each bore, a represents the centrifugal acceleration at the outer surface of the cylinder, .rho. represents the density of the liquid and .delta. indicates the surface tension of the liquid. The large number N>200 of bores having the diameter D.sub.B in the cylinder wall causes the flow rate of liquid through each bore to be relatively low, so that a continuous laminary flow in each bore is ensured even at low viscosities and technically useful total flow rates. Preferably cylindrical bores with a minimum length at least three times larger than the bore diameter are provided in the cylinder wall, with a narrow spacing in the range defined by 1.1<t/D.sub.B <5, so that a number of bores as large as possible may be arranged in the wall of the cylinder.
