Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for mixing, atomizing, and applying liquid coatings onto a surface. The apparatus includes a housing and a means for applying ultrasonic energy to a portion of the pressurized liquid as the liquid passes through the housing. The housing includes a premixing chamber adapted to receive multi-component liquid under pressure, a mixing chamber in communication with the premixing chamber, an inlet adapted to supply the premixing chamber with the pressurized liquid, and an exit orifice adapted to pass the liquid out of the housing. When the means for applying ultrasonic energy is excited, it applies ultrasonic energy to the pressurized liquid contained within the mixing chamber without mechanically vibrating the tip.
