摘要：

1. A liquid vaporizer comprising a substantially cylindrical horizontal casing, liquid supply means supported on said casing, atomizing means within said casing operatively coupled to the liquid supply means for atomizing particles of liquid and directing the particles radially outwards by centrifugal force along a circumferential path within said casing, heater means within said casing surrounding the atomizing means for receiving the divided atomized particles to vaporize the same, a motor supported within said casing and coupled to the atomizing means to drive the same, said casing being provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, said casing having opposite ends at one of whichsaid air outlet is located, and means in said casing driven by said motor for drawing air into the casing through said inlet for entraining vaporized particles in the ar and discharging the air together with said particles through said outlet, said air inlet being axially spaced from the outlet such that axial flow of air through the casing is obtained, said axialflow of air being isolated from the heating means to minimize heat exchange therewith while creating a suction within the casing to draw atomized particles therewith through the outlet.
