Abstract
A Southwest Electrostatic Sprayers, Inc., nozzle was configured to a H udson PortaPak(R) backpack. A test was run to compare deposition of BV A no. 13 oil by the electrostatic nozzle to a standard nonelectrostati c nozzle as collected by Teflon(R) slides. Results indicate that 100% greater deposition occurred with the electrostatic nozzle.
