An atomizer unit of a lubrication system has a chamber arrangement having a chamber arrangement interior, at least one first supply duct for supplying a first compressed-air stream into and through the chamber arrangement interior to a continuation duct, and an injection valve for injecting a coolant and/or lubricant into an injection region into the first compressed-air stream in the chamber arrangement interior. The atomizer unit has at least one second supply duct for supplying a second compressed-air stream into and through the chamber arrangement interior to the continuation duct. The atomizer unit is designed in such a manner that the second compressed-air stream combines with the first compressed-air stream and with the coolant and/or lubricant possibly injected into the first compressed-air stream, to form a transport stream for transporting the injected coolant and/or lubricant, and the transport stream is routed through the continuation duct to the machining location.

Atomizer unit of a minimal quantity lubrication system

Embodiments relate to an atomizer unit that has a chamber assembly with an injection chamber and an atomizer chamber. The injection chamber is connected to the atomizer chamber by a nozzle, and the atomizer unit has a first feed channel for feeding a first compressed air flow into the injection chamber, a second feed channel for feeding a second compressed air flow into the atomizer chamber, and an injection valve for injecting a coolant and/or lubricant into the first compressed air flow in the injection region of the injection chamber. The first compressed air flow flows from the injection chamber into the atomizer chamber through the nozzle, is atomized in the atomizer chamber by the nozzle, is combined with the second compressed air flow in the atomizer chamber in order to form a transport flow for transporting the injected coolant and/or lubricant, and can be conducted to the machining location.
