Electrostatic atomizing apparatus

Abstract

An electrostatic atomizing apparatus includes a discharge electrode, a discharged electrode, a liquid supplying unit, a high voltage generating unit, and a controller. The discharged electrode is used to cause discharge between the discharged electrode and the discharge electrode. The liquid supplying unit supplies a liquid for atomization to the discharge electrode. The high voltage generating unit applies a high voltage to the discharged electrode. The discharge current detecting unit is arranged between the high voltage generating unit and the discharged electrode and detects a discharge current flowing through the discharged electrode. The controller controls, based on the discharge current detected by the discharge current detecting unit, the high voltage generated by the high voltage generating unit so as to achieve a predetermined discharge current.
