  • the fluid can have one or more than one component.
  • the fluid can be a two-component adhesive.
  • the gas is preferably air.
  • the gas can also be oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, a noble gas or some other gas. Because the fluid is dosed volumetrically, it can be sprayed with great precision. In particular, the dosing of the fluid can take place independently of the spraying of the same.
  • the Venturi effect is not used to spray the fluid. This prevents the fluid from being torn out of a metering needle of the metering device. This prevents the formation of blobs or islands on a substrate to be sprayed.
  • the gas can be switched on before the fluid is dosed and only switched off again after the dosing has ended.
  • the amount of fluid metered in with the metering device can be slowly increased up to the desired metered amount when the gas is switched on and can also be continuously reduced again when the gas is still switched on.

  • the steps can be carried out simultaneously or at different times.
  • the spray device further comprises a heating and / or cooling device for heating or cooling the fluid in order to change its viscosity.
  • a highly viscous fluid can be heated in this way in order to reduce its viscosity.
  • a low viscosity fluid can be cooled to increase its viscosity. This makes it possible to spray both low-viscosity and high-viscosity fluids.
  • a control device of the spray device can readjust the metering of the fluid with the aid of the determined temperature of the fluid with access to a viscosity table stored in the control device. In this way, metering inaccuracies due to thermal expansion of the fluid can be prevented.

  • the dispensing needle can also be flush with the gas cap or shorter than it. This means that the dispensing needle can protrude behind the gas cap.
  • the dispensing needle can protrude 0 to 1 mm behind the gas cap.
  • the spray head preferably further comprises an air or gas housing with a gas supply line.
  • the gas supply line can comprise a quick-release fastener for connecting a gas line.
  • the air or gas cap is preferably fastened to the gas housing with the aid of a union nut.
  • the union nut can have knurling on the outside, so that it can be unscrewed without tools.
  • the gas cap is particularly exchangeable for adaptation to different fluids and / or for changing the spray pattern.
  • the gas cap preferably has a conical bore in which the metering needle, which is preferably also conical on the outside, is arranged.
  • the dispensing needle and / or the gas cap can be surface-treated, in particular surface-coated, hardened or passivated.
  • the metering needle and / or the gas cap can be surface-treated in such a way that very reactive and / or abrasive fluids can also be sprayed.
  • the gas cap on the inside and / or the metering needle on the outside can have a diamond-like amorphous carbon coating (Diamond-Like Carbon, DLC).
  • DLC diamond-like amorphous carbon coating
  • the metering needle protrudes beyond the gas cap with a predetermined protrusion.
  • the predetermined protrusion can be, for example, 0 to 1 mm. This means that the dispensing needle can also be flush with the gas cap. The overhang can be changeable. Because the dosing needle protrudes beyond the gas cap, it is also possible, in addition to spraying the fluid, to dose it directly onto a substrate. Furthermore, the dispensing needle can be negatively charged and the substrate can be electrically charged positively or vice versa. This results in a better spray pattern, better edge sharpness and less blob formation.
  • a circumferential gap for the gas is provided between the gas cap and the metering needle.
  • the gap preferably envelops the dispensing needle in the form of a jacket.
  • a ring-shaped circumferential gas channel for distributing the gas is preferably provided in the gas housing.

  • the vortex element can be made of a sintered ceramic or metal material, for example.
  • the vortex element can be made of aluminum or steel.

  • the vortex element can be in one piece or in several pieces.
  • the gas flows through the vortex element. With the help of the vortex element, the gas can be swirled indefinitely, that is, chaotically.
  • the metering needle is connected to an end piece of the metering device in one piece or in a form-fitting manner.
  • the end piece is preferably firmly connected to the pump housing, for example screwed.
  • the stator can be clamped between the pump housing and the end piece.
  • the metering needle can be screwed into the end piece. This makes it easy to exchange the dispensing needle.
  • the metering needle can be made in one piece with the end piece. In this way, dead space optimization can be achieved. This is particularly advantageous in the case of a filigree design of the spray head.
  • Both the metering needle and the gas cap are preferably interchangeable.
  • the metering needle and / or the gas cap are adjustable in length.
  • the gas cap preferably has a gas pipe, the length of which can be adjusted, for example, with the aid of a locking screw connection. Because the length of the gas cap is adjustable, the protrusion of the dispensing needle can be adjusted over the gas cap. In this way, a spray angle of the spray device can be set without replacing components.
  • the gas cap can have a tubular gas cap extension. The length of the gas cap extension is preferably arbitrary.
  • the dosing needle can have a dosing needle extension which corresponds to the gas cap extension and which preferably protrudes in the longitudinal direction beyond the gas cap extension.
