Abstract
A preferred embodiment of an atomizing apparatus incorporates a source of heat transfer fluid and an atomizing surface adapted to receive a droplet of the heat transfer fluid thereon. A driver also is provided which is configured to control a vibration of the atomizing surface at a frequency less than ultrasonic so that the atomizing surface forms a spray of atomized droplets from the droplet of the heat transfer fluid. Preferably, the vibration is configured to form, on the droplet, surface waves having a smaller wavelength than a diameter of the droplet, thereby ejecting and propelling the atomized droplets from the droplet. Methods also are provided.
