Abstract
A system may include an electrostatic spray tool having a turbine generator configured to generate electrical power to electrostatically charge a spray. The spray tool also may include a controller configured to monitor the electrical power from the turbine generator and to instruct a gas supply to vary a gas flow to the turbine generator based on feedback received from one or more sensors.
Claims29
A system, comprising:
- an electrostatic spray tool, comprising:
- a turbine generator configured to generate electrical power to electrostatically charge a spray;
- and
- a controller configured to monitor the electrical power from the turbine generator and to instruct a gas supply to vary a gas flow to the turbine generator based on feedback received from one or more sensors.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a spray tool support module configured to support a spray tool, wherein the spray tool support module comprises:
- a power supply comprising a plurality of blades coupled to a rotor-stator assembly having a plurality of windings;
- and
- a controller coupled to the power supply, wherein the controller is configured to selectively operate the power supply in a turbine generator mode or a motor driven fan mode, a current control mode or a voltage control mode, a liquid spray mode or a powder spray mode, a sensor feedback control mode or a manual control mode, or any combination thereof.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a powder spray tool configured to receive a fluid flow and a powder flow, wherein the powder spray tool is configured to output a powder spray;
- and
- a turbine generator configured to generate electrical power via the fluid flow, wherein the turbine generator comprises an electrical generator drivingly coupled to a fluid driven turbine.
