Abstract

The invention relates to a device for introducing ( 1 ) a carrier gas ( 2 ) and liquid compounds ( 3 ) or a liquid solution into an evaporation chamber ( 4 ), comprising a mixing chamber ( 10 ), including at least: —a first inlet ( 8 ) for the admission of said compounds or said solution ( 3 ), —a second inlet ( 9 ) for the admission of the carrier gas ( 2 ), —and an outlet ( 13 ) connected to an inlet of an injector ( 14 ), so that a mixture of carrier gas and droplets of said compounds or of said solution is periodically injected, through a single injector outlet ( 14 ), into the evaporation chamber ( 4 ).

Claims (7)

1. A method for implementing a device for injecting or spraying a mixture of carrier gas and at least one liquid compound or at least one liquid solution comprising at least one dissolved liquid, solid or gaseous compound, the device comprising at least one mixing chamber and an evaporation chamber, the device further comprising at least one inlet for admission of said compounds or said solution and a controller controlling a periodic injection or a periodic spray, by an injector, of said mixture,

wherein the inlet for admission of said compound or said solution constitutes at least one first inlet of the at least one mixing chamber comprising at least one second inlet for admission of the carrier gas and an outlet connected to an inlet of said injector, so that said periodic injection or periodic spray is performed by injecting or spraying a mixture of carrier gas and droplets of said compound or said solution, through a single outlet of said injector into the evaporation chamber, further comprising the step of selectively controlling an injection frequency and/or a duration of opening the injector.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the duration of the opening of said injector being controlled so that an entire amount of liquid compounds or of the liquid solution introduced into the mixing chamber between two successive openings of said injector is injected toward the evaporation chamber or is emitted in aerosol form.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency and/or duration of the opening of said injector being controlled so that an entire amount of liquid compounds or of the liquid solution introduced into the mixing chamber between two successive openings of said injector is injected into the evaporation chamber or is emitted in aerosol form, in a series of injection pulses.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of selectively controlling the frequency and/or duration of opening at least one injector that is arranged upstream of the first inlet of the at least one mixing chamber, for periodically injecting said liquid compounds or said solution into said mixing chamber, wherein the at least one injector that is arranged upstream of the first inlet is controlled so that the liquid compounds or the liquid solution are introduced into this mixing chamber in a series of injection pulses.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure in the evaporation chamber is kept lower than that in the mixing chamber, and the pressure in the mixing chamber is kept at a pressure lower than that of the liquid compounds or of the liquid solution, before introduction thereof into the mixing chamber.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of controlling the difference in pressure between the carrier gas and the liquid compounds or the liquid solution, before the respective introduction thereof into the mixing chamber.
