Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0818245A1] Air (3), carrying powder particles picked up by venturi action from an air-agitated reservoir, is diluted and/or accelerated on entry (21) by air injected via a central nozzle (25a), directed downstream. The stream then enters the annular passage (12) between concentric inner (14) and outer (13) tubes of insulating material. The former, plugged by conical entry (14b) and exit (14c) fairings, is supported by perforated spacer rings (19, 20). The tribo-electric charge, proportional to the injected control air-flow (25) is measured by the current collected by a conducting carbon-fibre tube (26) close-fitting over the outer insulated tube (13) and passed to earth (27, 28) via an external control unit, automatically adjusting the injected air-flow. The charged air-stream is finally projected through the end nozzle (18).
