The invention relates to an air ionization device comprising a high voltage line which can be connected to an AC voltage power source and point electrodes which are coupled capacitively to the high voltage line for generating a corona discharge. In order to develop the air ionization device further in such a manner that it has a greater efficiency for the discharge of a dielectric object, it is suggested in accordance with the invention that the air ionization device comprise at least two point electrodes which are each connected via a diode to a DC voltage potential and each via an associated capacitor to the high voltage line, wherein the first point electrode is connected to the cathode side of the associated diode and the second point electrode to the anode side of the associated diode, and wherein a corona discharge can be formed between the two point electrodes and positive charge carriers can be generated at the first point electrode and negative charge carriers at the second point electrode continuously and simultaneously.
Air ionization device comprising a high voltage line connectable to an AC voltage power source and point electrodes coupled capacitively to the high voltage line for generating a corona discharge, characterized in that the air ionization device (60, 90, 95, 100, 105) comprises at least two point electrodes (10, 12, 71, 72) each connected via a diode (24, 26, 77, 78) to a DC voltage potential and each via an associated capacitor (16, 18) to the high voltage line (20), wherein the first point electrode (10, 72) is connected to the cathode side (32) of the associated diode (24, 78) and the second point electrode (12, 71) to the anode side (36) of the associated diode (26, 77), and wherein a corona discharge is adapted to be formed between the two point electrodes (10, 12, 77, 78) and positive charge carriers are generatable at the first point electrode (10, 71) and negative charge carriers of the second point electrode (12, 72) continuously and simultaneously.
