- Seeing these responses, I was reminded that I saw a stat-vertisement
- ("statistics" published by a manufacturer for the purpose of selling
- his/her equipment) on this in a recent catalog. The source is a bar chart,
- which I have guesstimated to numbers. For your amusement, and potential
- edification (Croix is the HVLP manufacturer):
-
- Spray System Transfer Efficiency (%)
-
- Croix Turbine Spray 65-90
- Airless Electrostatic 70-83
- Air-Assisted Airless Electrostatic 71-77
- Air Electrostatic 59-72
- Air-Assisted Airless 40-71
- Airless Spray 52-62
- Air Spray 37-43
-
- Interesting to note that the text of the advertisement states in part,
- "where normal air compressor spray gun outfits transfer only 25 to 35%".
