1. Atomizer: A nebulizer is a device that forms a mist by dispersing liquid into tiny particles. It is commonly used in medical, cosmetic, pesticide, spray paint and other fields. Atomizer through the generation of high-speed airflow or vibration and other ways to make the liquid to produce intense turbulence, so that the liquid will be dispersed into tiny particles. Common nebulizers include sprayers, ultrasonic nebulizers and thermal nebulizers.
2. Nebulizer pump (Nebulizer): Nebulizer pump is a device used to convert liquid drugs into fine particles to form a mist. It is mainly used in the medical field to deliver medication directly into the patient's respiratory tract for better absorption. A nebulizing pump disperses liquid medication into tiny particles by using airflow or vibration and delivers the misted medication to the patient through a device such as a respirator or mask.
Summary:
- A nebulizer is a device used to disperse liquid into tiny particles to form a mist for a wide range of applications.
- A nebulizer pump is a device designed to convert liquid medication into tiny particles to form a mist, mainly used in the medical field.
- Nebulizer is a broader concept that includes nebulizer pumps, but a nebulizer pump is a specific type of nebulizer.
- Nebulizers can achieve nebulization in a number of ways, whereas nebulizer pumps achieve nebulization primarily through airflow or vibration.
