nozzle holes should not exceed
a certain diameter. Due to the
thermal and mechanical stresses,
the plastic is subjected to a certain
amount of wear. The atomiser [9] is
particularly sensitive. This can also
cause changes to the droplet com-
position of the aerosol, which has a
direct effect on the effectiveness of
the treatment.
