Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to an ion generating device and an air conditioning device, in particular to an ion generating device and an air conditioning device for sterilizing indoor air. Background technique
[0002] Conventionally, there is known an ion generator that ionizes water vapor present in space. As this ion generator, there is a device using a creeping discharge method. In the existing ion generating device, when an AC voltage is applied to the ion generating element, positive ions and negative ions are generated. It is known that the generated positive and negative ions can remove fungi, planktonic bacteria or viruses in the air.
[0003] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-83593 describes a technique of applying this ion generator to an air conditioner to suppress fungi. The air conditioner described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-83593 uses an ion generator to generate positive and negative io...
