An ultrasonic liquid delivery device in which a housing of the device has
an internal chamber and at least one exhaust port in fluid communication
with the internal chamber of the housing. A valve member is moveable
relative to the housing between a closed position in which liquid is
inhibited against exhaustion from the housing via the at least one
exhaust port, and an open position in which liquid is exhaustable from
the housing via the at least one exhaust port. An ultrasonic waveguide
separate from the housing and valve member is disposed at least in part
within the internal chamber of the housing to ultrasonically energize
liquid within the internal chamber prior to liquid being exhausted from
the housing in the open position of the valve member. An excitation
device is operable in the open position of the valve member to
ultrasonically excite the ultrasonic waveguide.
