<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrostatic atomizing apparatus in which an object, such as an article stored in a mist-receiving space or an inner wall is hardly electrostatically charged. <P>SOLUTION: The electrostatic atomizing apparatus is provided with an atomizing electrode 2, a counter electrode 3, a water supply means 15 for supplying water to the atomizing electrode 2 and a high voltage applying section 9 for applying high voltage between the atomizing electrode 2 and the counter electrode 3 so as to electrostatically atomize water to be supplied to the atomizing electrode 2 by applying the high voltage between the atomizing electrode 2 and the counter electrode 3. When voltage is applied to give a prescribed potential difference between the atomizing electrode 2 and the counter electrode 3 to electrostatically atomize the water supplied to the atomizing electrode 2, the potential of the atomizing electrode 2 side is set to ground potential or potential nearer to the ground potential than that of the counter electrode 3 side. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
