Abstract
Various exemplary illustrations of an electrode assembly for an electrostatic atomizer, for example for a rotation atomizer, and exemplary methods of making and/or using the same, are disclosed. An exemplary electrode assembly may not include an electrode holder arrangement for holding at least one electrode creating an electrostatic field about a symmetrical axis, wherein there is dielectric material for influencing a discharge current component extending in the direction of the symmetrical axis.
Claims18
An electrode assembly for an electrostatic atomizer, the atomizer having an axis of symmetry and having a first housing and a second housing and an electrode holding area established by a difference in diameter between the first and second housings, the electrode holding area including a first thread, the electrode assembly comprising:
- an annular electrode holding device, configured to fit around at least the first housing and for holding a plurality of electrodes that generate an electrostatic field, the electrode holding device including a second thread that engages with the thread of the electrode holding area to threadedly connect the electrode holding device to the first housing,
- wherein the first and second threads are coaxial to the axis of symmetry and form a labyrinth and the labyrinth is defined by a dielectric material and is configured to extend a discharge current path in a direction of the axis of symmetry.
