  • Page 4: Introduction

    Thermal Aerosol Generator 5D 1. Introduction The ATI 5D Thermal Aerosol Generator uses a heating element to vaporize liquid reagent. The unit then expels the vapor using inert gas, which rapidly cools, generating aerosol. Condensation (quenching) happens at the 5D output collar, before the vapor comes into contact with enough oxygen to combust.
