Larger versions of these devices (with 2- to 3-L reservoirs)are used to deliver bland aerosols into mist tents.These enclosure systems can generate flow rates greater than 20 L/min,with water outputs as high as 5 mL/min (300 mL/hr).Because heat buildup in enclosures is a problem,these systems are always unheated.
