15,000 VAC @ 30 ma should make about a gallon an hour for around 5 ppm CS.

Higher temperature results in lower resistance, so if you are holding a
constant current, higher voltage will result in lower voltage, which for
HVAC results in larger particles.  The production rate for particles will
then actually go down.
