Abstract
Highly charged water droplets have been used as an ion source to incre ase the removal rate of smoke. The change in number concentration for smoke subjected to uncharged and charged droplets was determined. For charged sprays the number concentration fell by approximately 60% afte r five minutes compared with a 10% decrease for an uncharged spray. (C ) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
