nozzle holes should not exceed a
certain diameter. Due to the ther-
mal 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.
