Abstract

The distributions of the SMD and behavior of 2% $NH_4H_2PO_4$ spray discharged from a fan-spray twin fluid type nozzle are measured and observed. The spray characteristics, according to the variation in the applied voltages, are demonstrated using the PMAS (particle Motion Analysis System) and the CCD camera, respectively. The preliminary experiments are executed to select an optimum condition for solidifying a galvanized coating layer in the uncharged condition before carrying out the main experiments. The liquid and air pressure of $0.07kgf/cm^2\;and\;0.15kgf/cm^2$ can be considered the optimum conditions to use in the main experiment. As the applied voltage increases, the frequent range of relatively large droplets diminishes. Thus, the distributions of drop diameter in the charged spray are more uniform than these in the uncharged condition. This is explained by recognizing that repulsive forces among droplets with the charges of the same sign cause them to be uniform.
