A fluid sprayer includes a pump and an electrostatic module configured to provide an electrostatic charge to spray fluid. The electrostatic module is electrically connected to a conductive component of the fluid sprayer, such as a fluid displacement member, fitting, cylinder, or spray tip, to charge the spray fluid via the conductive component. The fluid is electrostatically charged prior to exiting the fluid sprayer.

An electrostatic fluid delivery system is configured to deliver fluid, such as a disinfectant fluid, onto a surface by electrically charging the fluid and forming the fluid into a mist, fog, plume, or spray that can be directed onto a surface, such as a surface to be cleaned. The system atomizes the fluid using a high-pressure fluid stream and passes the fluid through an electrode of a nozzle assembly to charge droplets of the atomized fluid.

A nozzle assembly, an ejecting device and an ejecting method are provided. The nozzle assembly includes an electrode and an insulating body portion. A first fluid channel is arranged in the insulating body portion, an opening is formed on the inner surface. A second fluid channel is arranged between the inner surface of the insulating body portion and the side surface of the electrode. An ejecting outlet is formed on the outer end surface. The second fluid channel is communicated with the first fluid channel at the opening. At least part of the second fluid channel is located between the first fluid channel and the electrode. In the first direction, the opening is located between the first end surface and the second end surface of the electrode.

An electrostatic atomizing apparatus includes an air flow path, a humidifier, and electrode section, and a control unit. The air flow path has an air intake port and an air exhaust port. The humidifier includes a portion of the air flow path and humidifies air taken in through the air intake port. The electrode section includes a portion of the air flow path and produces charged particulate water by causing water in the air humidified by the humidifier to condense on an electrode and applying voltage to the electrode. A flow rate of the air in the air flow path is regulated in accordance with at least one of humidity and temperature of the air taken in through the air intake port.

An electrostatic atomizing apparatus includes: a liquid nozzle portion for releasing a liquid column into an open space; a liquid conduit portion for introducing pressurized liquid into the liquid nozzle portion; a liquid-side electrode disposed inside the liquid conduit portion for coming into contact with the pressurized liquid; a gas conduit portion made of an insulation material and having a gas nozzle portion disposed around the liquid nozzle portion for converting the liquid column into fine particles to generate an atomized stream by making a gas stream from the gas nozzle portion act at an atomization point of the liquid column released into the open space from the liquid nozzle portion; and a ring-shaped induction electrode disposed around the atomization point located in the open space and having an electrode conductor made of a conductive material and coated with an insulation material.

A motor includes: a motor housing; a shaft disposed inside the motor housing and extending along a rotation axis; a rotor having magnetism, and coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the shaft; a stator accommodated in the motor housing, disposed to be spaced apart from an outside of the rotor in a radial direction of the shaft, and wound around with a coil; a nozzle for charging a cooling fluid by applying a voltage, and spraying the cooling fluid to at least one of the rotor and the stator; and a charging plate disposed to be spaced apart from a spray hole of the nozzle, and changes a spray form of the cooling fluid by applying a voltage.

An electrostatic device that includes: an air flow regulator system including a pressure regulator and an air flow regulator; a liquid flow regulating system including a set of restrictors; an electrostatic system including an electrostatic emission antenna and an insulating hood of the electrostatic emission antenna; an air-liquid nozzle that is separated from the electrostatic emission antenna; a tank; a positive displacement pump and a low-wetting electrostatic application method.

The invention is directed to a process for forming a particle film on a substrate. Preferably, a series of corona guns, staggered to optimize film thickness uniformity, are oriented on both sides of a slowly translating grounded substrate (copper or aluminum for the anode or cathode, respectively). The substrate is preferably slightly heated to induce binder flow, and passed through a set of hot rollers that further induce melting and improve film uniformity. The sheeting is collected on a roll or can be combined in-situ and rolled into a single-cell battery. The invention is also directed to products formed by the processes of the invention and, in particular, batteries.

An electrostatic sprayer system for dispensing and dispersing a liquid containing a spray compound includes a spray cloud dispersal feature that reduces the time that a residual spray cloud containing droplets including the spray compound remains suspended after spraying. A method of dispersing the residual spray cloud is implemented by a control system that causes a flow control system to deliver a non-active gas or liquid in conjunction with stopping delivery of the liquid containing the spray agent and charged with the same polarity, so that a charged cloud of the non-active gas or liquid, which may be air, displaces the suspended active fluid particles. The non-active gas or liquid may be dispensed for a predetermined time interval as determined by the control system, or the operator may control the time interval during which that the non-active fluid is dispensed.

A printer is configured to provide a jet of extraction gas that extracts a printing fluid from a printing nozzle in the presence of an electrostatic field that accelerates the extracted printing fluid toward a printing substrate. The printer is also configured to selectively turn the electrostatic field and the jet of extraction gas off and on to enable printing in an aerosol mode, an e-assisted aerosol mode, or an e-jet mode. The jet of gas can be provided by a second nozzle concentric with the printing nozzle. A third nozzle can discharge a focusing gas around the aerosol.
