In order to contribute to a better understanding of the electrostatic phenomena appearing during splash filling of liquids and to clarify the reasons why this process is suspected to increase static electrification especially due to atomization, accurate experiments of charge measurements were made on droplets of various liquids falling over a large distance (5m). Eleven liquids of different conductivity and surface tension were tested. The results confirm that no charge evolution appears even over a long falling distance. A possible explanation of the static charge increase in splash filling is presented.
