ELECTROSTATIC ATOMIZER

摘要

An electrostatic atomizer comprises an electric discharge electrode, a counter electrode opposed to the electric discharge electrode, cooling means for condensing water content in the ambient air onto the electric discharge electrode, and a high voltage source for applying a high voltage between the electric discharge electrode and the counter electrode. The condensed water is charged by the application of the high voltage, and charged water particles are sent out from the electric discharge chip at the electric discharge end. The electrostatic atomizer further comprises a controller for stably sending out charged water particles. The controller has an initial control mode and a normal control mode. In the initial mode, the cooling means is controlled so as to cool the electric discharge electrode at a predetermined cooling rate and to maintain the electric discharge current in a target electric discharge current range by feedback according to the electric discharge current value after the electric discharge current flowing from the electric discharge electrode to the counter electrode reaches in the predetermined target electric discharge current range.
