Abstract
An ionization electrode consists of a plate-like positive pole (31a) formed with plural pointed ends (31b) on its outer edge, and a spheric negative pole (32a) opposing a flat surface of the positive pole (31a). Since the pointed ends (31b) of the positive pole (31a) are not in direct face-to-face relation with the negative pole (32a), corona discharge is prevented from concentrating on some of the pointed ends (31b) that are closer to the negative pole (32b) than the rest due to the working errors or mounting errors of the poles. Therefore, the corona discharge occurs in a stable manner.
Claims12
At ion generator comprising:
- a casing having an intake port and an exhaust port;
- an ionization electrode contained in said casing and including a first plate-like pole having a plurality of pointed ends at least on a part of its edge, and a second pole opposing a flat surface of the first pole;
- and
- a high-voltage generator for applying a high voltage to said ionization electrode.
An ion generator comprising:
- a casing having an intake port and an exhaust port;
- an ionization electrode contained in said casing and including a first plate-like pole having a plurality of sawtooth-like pointed ends arranged linearly, and a second pole having a discharge surface defined by a cylinder or a part thereof and its generatrix extended in parallel with the pointed ends of the first pole;
- and
- a high-voltage generator for applying a high voltage to said ionization electrode.
