METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPERSING AN ACTIVE SUBSTANCE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for dispersing an active substance into an interior space, the apparatus comprising:
- an active-substance reservoir from which an active substance can be extracted;
a mixing station;
a duct connecting the mixing station to the interior space and passing the reservoir;
means for supplying two air streams having different temperatures to the mixing station; and
means for varying the proportions of the two airstreams at the mixing station such that an air stream such that an air stream exiting the mixing station into the duct and passing over the reservoir has a temperature between 19°
C. and 24°

Abstract
An apparatus for dispersing an active substance has an active-substance reservoir from which active substance can be extracted and introduced into an interior space by an air stream. In order to achieve with as little expenditure as possible that the air stream has a temperature level which is optimum for extracting the active substance from the active-substance reservoir, it is proposed that the apparatus for dispersing an active substance has a mixing station, at which air streams having different temperatures are able to be mixed to the air stream so that the latter is able to be adjusted to an optimum temperature level for extracting the active substance, preferably between 19° C. and 24° C.

7. A method for dispersing an active substance from an active-substance reservoir into an interior space, the method comprising the steps of:
-
holding the active substance in an open reservoir; mixing air from two air streams into a single combined air stream; flowing the combined air stream past the active-substance reservoir and into the interior space while taking up the active substance with the combined air stream; and varying the proportion of the air streams to establish in the combined air stream an optimum temperature. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
