Electrostatic atomization device

Abstract

An electrostatic atomization device comprises: an electric discharge electrode having a front end section and a base end section; a cooling section for cooling the electric discharge electrode; a high-voltage application section for generating electrically charged water particles by atomizing condensed water, which is held by the electric discharge electrode, by causing the front end section of the electric discharge electrode to discharge electricity; and a heat capacity adjustment member provided to the vicinity of the base end section of the electric discharge electrode and capable of heat transfer with the electric discharge electrode through the condensed water held by the electric discharge electrode.
