Abstract: An isolator for electrically isolating an electrostatically charged, electrically conductive coating material supply line from a grounded source of conductive coating material while continuously transferring coating material from the source to the supply line. The isolator includes a receptacle for a charged coating material reservoir and an insulative housing surrounding the charged coating material receptacle. The coating material in the receptacle is fed through an outlet to the supply line for an electrostatic coating device, which is electrostatically charged. Due to the conductive nature of the coating material, the electrostatic potential at the coating device is coupled through the coating material, and the reservoir of coating material in the receptacle is likewise electrostatically charged. The coating material from the grounded coating material source is coupled to a grounded nozzle assembly in a housing which is positioned above the charged coating material receptacle.

Abstract: An electrostatic high voltage isolation system with internal charge generation in which conductive coating material to be sprayed is electrostatically charged by charging discrete droplets of coating material transferred from a coating material source to a supply of coating material for a spray gun. The source of coating material includes an electrically grounded reservoir of coating material having a nozzle aperture in a bottom portion thereof, and the coating material in the reservoir is mechanically vibrated to produce a pulsed jet droplet flow of coating material from the nozzle into a supply container for the spray gun. A high voltage electrode at the location of droplet formation induces an electrostatic charge on the droplets in order to electrostatically charge the coating material transferred to the gun supply container for use by the gun for electrostatic coating.
