Abstract
An improved nebulizer for directing an aerosol from a spray orifice toward an outlet pipe against a target comprises a convex target surface substantially enlarged relative to the diameter of the spray orifice and a cylindrical hood coaxially surrounding said target having a single open port coaxial with said spray orifice, the spray orifice including means for forming an inverted aerosol cone all of which first impinges against the target, and whereby substantially all of the aerosol must exit from the cavity through the single open hood port.
