Abstract
A generator based on the condensation of superheated steam in a small Laval nozzle containing an axial corona electrode is described. Experi ments with superheated water vapor at various nozzle flows are present ed to show the relationship between the total rate of formation of cha rged aerosols (expressed as ejection current) and stagnation condition s of the vapor supply, electrode geometry of the nozzle. The character istics of this type of generator and its optimum operating condition h ave been investigated.
