PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air cleaner that can remove fine particles from target air to purify it, and has a very low frequency of maintenance.SOLUTION: Target air flowing into a housing box 1 from an intake port 11 by a fan 3 is mixed with mist generated by a mist generator 4 and then flows into an aqua-electrolytic filter 2. The aqua-electrolytic filter 2 has a structure where filter fiber 23 is sandwiched between two electrode plates 21, 22 formed of materials different in ionization tendency in each pair thereof. The inflow target air forms a puddle in the filter fiber 23, and fine particles are decomposed, collected or sterilized by electrolytic action. The target air flowing out from the aqua-electrolytic filter 2 is heated, humidified, and sterilized in an exhaust pipe 31 by high-temperature steam from a steam heater 5, and then discharged from a discharge port 12. |
