ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method that insures an even distribution of liquid in an aquatron charging device across the entire length of the device. This enables uniform charging across the width of the photoreceptor. The present invention fills and pressurizes a porous tube with a liquid. The liquid evenly exudes from the pores along the entire length of the porous tube. A hydrophilic liquid retentive foam which contacts the photoreceptor surface is wrapped snugly around the tube. The conductivity and overall rate of dispensation of liquid is controlled by the pressure differential across the porous tube.
