Development of an Orientation-independent Handheld Nebulizer by Sheng-Hsiu Huang, Chih-Wei Lin, Wei-Ren Ke, Yu-Mei Kuo, Chih-Chieh Chen

“…The MHVMN, which comprises a a power supply unit, a vibrating mesh plate, and a liquid reservoir equipped with either a flat end orifice tube (FEOT) or a traditional wick for delivery, was primarily tested using deionized water and a 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Since our study focused on optimizing the dimensions of the FEOT, which utilizes capillary action to deliver the solution, we examined the effects of the operating parameters, viz., the gap between the reservoir wall and the FEOT (LLR-FEOT), the diameter of the FEOT’s orifice (Dorifice), the orientation of the nebulizer, and the size of the aperture, on the performance of the device. …”
