Droplet Generator: principle of operation
• Tin is loaded in a vessel & heated above melting point
• Pressure applied by an inert gas
• Tin flows through a filter prior to the nozzle
• Tin jet is modulated by mechanical vibrations

Fig. 1. Images of tin droplets obtained with a 5.5 μm nozzle. The images on the left were obtained in
frequency modulation regime; the image on the right – with a simple sine wave signal. The images
were taken at 300 mm distance from the nozzle.

Droplet Generator: Principle of Operation
Multiple small droplets coalesce together to form larger droplets at larger separation distance
Large separation between the droplets by special modulation
