Abstrakt: In this research, the behavior of an electric field caused by the mechanism of electrostatic painting has been investigated using the finite element method and FLEXPDE software. The aim of this study is to optimize the electrostatic spraying performance of the paint sprayer by investigating the potential field in the paint nozzle. The results show that the potential and the electric field can be solved at any given point and displayed graphically. Additionally, changing the 2D rectangular covering surface to a circular one increased the potential value reached on the covering surface by 10 percent. The amount of electric potential and electrostatic field in the direction perpendicular to the x-axis is shown to be symmetrical and equal for y > 0 and y < 0. The size of the spray opening/hole is a significant factor in reaching paint particles to the coating surface. Doubling the size of the spray opening increased the potential value on the coating surface by 54.3 percent, while halving it decreased the potential value by 75 percent.
