Abstract
The invention relates to a device for forming aerosol, the device comprising at least one gas-dispersing atomizer for atomizing a liquid into aerosol by means of gas at an atomizing head of the atomizer and an atomizing chamber, which is in flow connection with the atomizing head and in which flow restraints are arranged for changing the hydrodynamic properties of the aerosol flow discharging from the atomizing head. According to the present invention the flow restraints are arranged in the inner walls of the atomizing chamber in such a manner that they protrude from the inner walls to the inside of the atomizing chamber.

- 42. An apparatus for providing a coating onto the surface of glass, the apparatus comprising at least one gas-dispersing atomizer for atomizing at least one liquid used for coating the glass into aerosol by means of gas at an atomizing head of the atomizer and one or more flow restraints for changing the hydrodynamic properties of the aerosol flow discharging from the atomizing head in a manner reducing the drop size of the aerosol before it is conducted onto the surface of the glass, wherein the flow restraints are arranged in such a manner that the average aerodynamic diameter of the drops of the aerosol discharging from the atomizer is 3 micrometres or less, preferably 1 micrometre or less.

50. A method for providing a coating onto the surface of a glass product from at least one liquid raw material, the method comprises the steps of:
atomizing at least one liquid raw material by means of at least one gas-dispersing atomizer into aerosol that is discharged from an atomizing head of the atomizer; reducing the drop size of the aerosol discharged from the atomizing head of the atomizer by changing the hydrodynamic properties of the aerosol flow by means of flow restraints; and conveying the aerosol onto the surface of the glass product, wherein the aerosol reacts providing a coating onto the surface of the glass product, wherein the method comprises reducing the average drop size of the aerosol by changing the hydrodynamic properties of the aerosol flow by means of the flow restraints in such a manner that the average aerodynamic diameter of the drops of the aerosol is 3 micrometres or less, preferably 1 micrometre or less. - View Dependent Claims (51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57)
