Method for forming consistently-sized and controllably-timed droplets
Abstract
A method for forming substantially consistently-sized and substantially controllably-timed droplets is disclosed. An opening is provided through which a protrusion passes. The protrusion ends at a tip below the opening. A process liquid is provided to the opening at a controlled flow rate. The process liquid passes through the opening and flows along the protrusion, forming a droplet of the process liquid on the tip that reaches a substantially consistent droplet size and falls. The process liquid continues to pass through the opening at an even time interval based on the flow rate. In this manner, substantially consistently-sized and substantially controllably-timed droplets are formed.
