Additive nebulising device
First Claim
1. An additive atomizing device for the atomization of a liquid additive, and more particularly of a lubricant, in a gaseous pressure medium, more particularly compressed air, comprising at least one additive passage duct (24), which has an inlet (26) for the supply of the additive from an additive supply means (27 and 28) and whose outlet (25) opens into a pressure medium flow duct (10), through which the pressure medium flows, characterized in that the pressure medium passage duct (10) is provided with a detecting means (17 and 18) for determining at least one physical characteristic, which can be passed by the detecting means (17 and 18) by way of a signalizing means (19 and 20) to a control means (21) and that a pressure producing device (43 and 47) is provided in the at least one additive passage duct (24), it being possible for a pressure pulse to be exerted on the additive by the pressure producing device so that a drop of additive is expelled at the outlet (25), such pressure producing device being arranged to be controlled by the control means (21) in a manner dependent on the at least one physical characteristic as found by the detecting means (17 and 18).

Abstract
An additive atomizing device and further means and a method for the atomization of a liquid additive in a gaseous pressure medium, more particularly compressed air, flowing through a pressure medium flow duct (10). The additive is conveyed from one inlet (26) of an additive passage duct (24) for supplying the additive from an additive supply means (27 and 28) to an outlet (25) opening into the pressure medium flow duct (10). A detecting means (17 and 18) detects at least one physical characteristic in the pressure medium flow duct (10) and signalizes same by way of a signalizing means (19 and 20) to a control means (21). The control means (21) controls a pressure producing device (43 and 47) in a manner dependent on the at least one physical characteristic found by the detecting means (17 and 18) by way of a control connection (23. The pressure producing device (43 and 47) causes pressure pulses to act on the additive in the at least one additive passage duct (24) so that the drops of additive are expelled from the outlet (25).
