  • Patent number: 4509694
    Abstract: The electrostatic nozzle may be used to spray one or more charged clouds in different areas of an enclosed room to allow different materials to be deposited on different sections of the surfaces. The nozzle includes a conduit through which air passes over one or more airfoils to entrain a liquid across the surface. A charged electrode, facing the surface, inductively charges the liquid on the surface. The liquid is atomized at the trailing edge of the airfoil by a cross-current created by an air deflector near the trailing edge of the airfoil.
