An apparatus for atomising liquid, including a piezoelectric substrate () having a working surface (), and a peripheral edge () extending along a side of the working surface, an interdigital transducer () located on the working surface for generating surface acoustic waves (SAW) in the working surface, and a liquid delivery arrangement including a porous member () for supplying the liquid to be atomised, wherein the porous member is in contact with the peripheral edge of the piezoelectric substrate.

Atomisation apparatus using surface acoustic wave generation

An apparatus () for the atomisation of a liquid including: a piezoelectric substrate () having at least one working surface (), at least one electrode () supported on the piezoelectric substrate (), a signal generating means () for applying an ultrasonic signal to said electrode () for generating a surface acoustic wave (SAW) in the working surface () of the piezoelectric substrate (); a liquid delivery arrangement () including a wick () in contact with the working surface () for delivering liquid thereof, wherein liquid delivered to the working surface () is atomised by SAW irradiation.
