A device for producing an aerosol is provided that includes a gas infeed line, an aerosol container, a plurality of nozzles, a differential pressure sensor, a plurality of valves, and a control unit. The plurality of nozzles are located within the aerosol container, and are in fluid communication with the gas infeed line. The differential pressure sensor determines the difference between a first pressure within the gas infeed line, and a second pressure within the aerosol container. The plurality of valves are in fluid communication with the gas infeed line. The control unit is in communication with the plurality of valves. The plurality of nozzles are controllable independent of one another, using the valves. The control unit determines and sets a combination of the plurality of nozzles, using a signal from the differential pressure sensor, to substantially maintain the second pressure within the aerosol container at a predetermined level.
