A method and apparatus to improve the atomization of liquid and the efficiency of depositing liquid particles onto target objects, or to coat the target object with a thin film of liquid, to reduce the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, and to reduce the weight of an electrostatic spray system has been developed by inducing electrostatic charges onto the atomized liquid particles sprayed from a grounded metal nozzle.

Method and apparatus for electrostatic spray

A compound meter assembly ( ) has a housing ( ), a high volume flow meter ( ) disposed in a main flow passageway ( ) for detecting a flow rate of relatively higher volume flows and a low volume flow meter ( ) disposed in the secondary flow passageway ( ) for detecting a flow rate of relatively lower volume flows. A flow distributor ( ) is disposed in the inlet and disposed adjacent the entrance ( ) into the secondary flow passageway from the main passageway, said flow distributor ( ) having a central opening ( ) for receiving the main flow and having flow ports ( ) disposed around its circumference for allowing portions of the main flow to flow towards interior walls ( ) of the housing ( ) such that the flow is better distributed across a cross section of the main passageway ( ) to maintain the accuracy of the meter at a crossover region ( ) between low flows being metered by the low volume flow meter ( ) and high flows being metered by the high volume flow meter ( ).
