PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heating/air-blowing apparatus which can stably generate an ion mist of a nanometer size when the ion mist is generated from the moisture in the air by cooling a discharge electrode. SOLUTION: A heat dissipating flow passage R2 is branched from a main air-blowing flow passage R1 which heads for a heater 12 from a fan 11 of a main body block 10. A static electricity atomizing block 20 is arranged in the heat dissipating flow passage R2. Then, the downstream side from a heat dissipating section 24 of the heat dissipating flow passage R2 is branched into a first branched flow passage R4 which communicates with the outside by passing the discharge electrode 21, and a second branched flow passage R5 which communicates with the outside by bypassing the discharge electrode 21. Thus, air around the discharge electrode 21 is always ventilated to facilitate the formation of water droplets. Then, a part of the air which has been introduced to the heat dissipating flow passage R2 by the first branched flow passage R4 is fed to the discharge electrode 21 to suppress the decrease in cooling efficiency of the discharge electrode 21. Thus, the mist of the nanometer size can be stably generated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
