I think one of the major things is to get the ions far enough from the electrode that they don't get sucked back in on the next half cycle. We know that LVAC does not work at all for this reason. There are two, and maybe 3 things that help in this regard. One is that a lot of heat is dissapated in that small volume, so convection currents around the electrodes is quite high. Also there is additional charge from all the ions, causing them to want to separate and move away from the electrodes, although this is probably small compared with the 10 KV applied. Also the ions aggregate forming clusters of CS, which have lower mobility, but they also probably have greater charge, so I am not sure what the total effect would be.
