An electrostatic coating device is provided with a housing, which has a cascade housing section that houses a cascade, and a motor housing section that houses an air motor. A clearance between the cascade and the inner wall of a first housing hole forms a first air flow passage. Furthermore, an annular clearance between the air motor (specifically, an air turbine) and the inner wall of a motor chamber forms a second air flow passage. The first air flow passage and the second air flow passage are communicated with each other via, for instance, a third air flow passage that includes a first communication passage, a circular recessed section, a second communication passage, and a third communication passage.

A grounding dissipation unit for a paint delivery apparatus for delivering paint is disclosed. The paint delivery apparatus includes a first paint line for carrying paint from a canister, a second paint line for carrying paint to an ionizing applicator for electrically charging paint, a first water line for carrying water to a grounding source, a second water line carrying water to the grounding dissipation unit, and a third water line for carrying water to a dump. The grounding dissipation unit includes a core made of an electrically conductive material. A paint bore in the core connects the paint lines, and a water bore in the core connects to the water lines to ground the system. The paint bore and water bore do no intersect within the core.
