Title:
電気的噴霧装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4442926
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An atomization device comprises a conduit containing liquid to be atomized, a spray electrode ( 1 ) and a discharge electrode ( 3 ). Each electrode is adjacent to a dielectric ( 5 ) and they are connected in an electrical circuit ( 10 ) to enable a potential difference to be applied between them to atomize the liquid and to generate charge carriers of a first polarity in the proximity of the spray electrode ( 1 ) and ions of a second polarity in the proximity of the discharge electrode ( 3 ). Some of the first polarity charge carriers deposit on the dielectric adjacent to the spray electrode ( 1 ) and some of the second polarity ions deposit on the dielectric ( 5 ) adjacent to the discharge electrode ( 3 ) so that the atomized liquid is repelled from the dielectric ( 5 ) adjacent to the spray electrode ( 1 ) and electrically discharged by second polarity ions that are repelled by the dielectric ( 5 ) adjacent to the discharge electrode ( 3 ).
