PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate mist having sterilization action, and to supply it to a storage chamber without generating harmful gas such as ozone even while using an electrostatic atomizer as a mist generating means. SOLUTION: The electrostatic atomizer 36 is installed at a partition plate 8 between a refrigerating chamber 3 and a vegetable chamber 4. Water W in a water storage tank 43 is supplied to a mist discharge part 49 via a water absorption pin 48, a water-retaining material 47, and a conductive sheet 46. A negative high voltage is applied to the mist discharge part 49 from a power supply device 56, and the mist including hydroxy radical with strong oxidation action is discharged from the mist discharge part 49. The mist is supplied into the vegetable chamber 4 from a mist outlet 52. A counter electrode to the mist discharge part 49 is not placed in the vicinity of the mist discharge part 49, and thus, the ozone is not generated. In the water storage tank 43, a water-purifying means including a photocatalyst 69 is arranged. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
