Air filtering device and vehicle air conditioner equipped therewith

An air filtering device, in particular a vehicle interior air filtering device for a vehicle air conditioner, comprising:

• a flow path through which an air flow passes,
• an ionizer configured to ionizing the air flow in the flow path, and an electrostatically charged filter configured to filter the air flow downstream of the ionizer, such that the air flow can flow through the ionizer and filter,
• wherein the ionizer comprises at least one electrode configured to generate a corona discharge in the air flow, that is or is configured to can be electrically connected to a high voltage source for the air filtering device, at least counter electrode that is dedicated to the at least one electrode, and further comprising an electrically conductive, flat, grid element upstream of the at least one electrode in the flow path,
• wherein the at least one counter electrode is electrically connected to an electrically conductive, flat, filtering layer in the filter, and to the grid element.
