Title MICRONISER System (rotary atomiser)
Reference: TAM-001
Abstract:
A Belgian company is seeking to licence its innovative rotary atomiser (Microniser System) which can
be used notably into air handling units to moisturize the air. It is a less costly and more hygienic
substitute for traditional air moisturizing systems in air conditioning. Atomization is done without the
use of any pressure. This unique technique allows discharge and droplet size to be adjusted
independently. Targeted partner: designer and manufacturer of industrial air conditioning systems.
