During the exhalation process the check valve 17 prevents exhaling into the device, e.g., by a silicone membrane. In this phase of the breathing cycle the compressor 1 is ventilated via the vent duct 16, wherein
a sufficient amount of air is supplied, one or more air holes (12) are provided in the housing of the nebuliser, through which ambient air can enter into the cavity (4) during inhalation and out of which the air inhaled by the patient can exit from the cavity (4) during exhalation. ...

gas. Along with nebulizer 48, a non-rebreathing valve 49 is provided to permit exhalation by the user to atmosphere without retrograde flow of exhaled air back through the breathing hose. The operation of the nebulizer and non-rebreathing valve are also described in the above-identified ...
exhalation, the patient is advantageously brought to a different electrostatic potential so that a potential gradient occurs between the electrostatically charged droplets of the aerosol and the patient, owing to which electrostatic forces act on the droplets of the aerosol, thus benefiting deposition of...
