Electrospraying of Water With Streamer Corona Discharge

The effect of electrospraying of water [electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA)] was studied in combination with dc streamer corona discharge as a possible method of biodecontamination of water. This effect was investigated under various voltages and water flow rates. The best conditions when the water spray was localized directly in the relatively stable and intense corona active region were reached at 8 kV and 8.3 μl/s. Images of EHDA with streamer corona discharge are presented.
