ELECTROSTATIC ATOMIZER AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTROSTATIC ATOMIZER

摘要

An electrostatic atomizer (100) is provided with a spray electrode (1), a reference electrode (2), a control circuit (24), and a high-voltage device (22). A voltage is applied between the spray electrode (1) and the reference electrode (2). The control circuit (24) controls the amount of current flowing through the reference electrode (2) so as to keep said amount of current within a prescribed range. The high-voltage device (22) applies a voltage between the spray electrode (1) and the reference electrode (2) on the basis of the controlled current amount.
