Abstract
In one aspect, the invention provides a system and method for spray drying a fluid. The system comprises a fluid reservoir (), a spraying device () that comprises at least one outflow opening () for projecting droplets of fluid () from the reservoir () out of the at least one outflow opening () and at least one energy source () for at least partially drying the droplets. The spraying device () is arranged to project the droplets into a determinable droplet trajectory and the at least one energy source () is arranged for providing energy focused substantially on the droplet trajectory. It is an object of the invention to provide a system and method for reducing the amount of energy required for spray drying.
