The present invention is relating to an
ion generator and an ionizer, in which the
ion generator can obtain stable
ion generation even if the
electrode and the power supply slightly change, satisfies
voltage and frequency conditions for realizing an
ozone concentration less than 50 ppb as an allowable concentration. The ion generator of the present invention is characterized as a fan-type ion generator including a
dielectric body, a
discharge electrode having fine protrusions arranged on the surface of this
dielectric body, and an induction
electrode arranged on the back surface of the
dielectric body, comprising: an ion element in which by applying a sinusoidal AC
high voltage to the
discharge electrode, a
potential difference from the induction electrode is generated,
plasma is formed on the surface of the
dielectric body, and positive ions, negative ions, and
ozone are produced according to
air ionization; and a fan which generates an
airflow with respect to the
discharge electrode, wherein the peak-to-peak
voltage is not less than 3.5 kV and not more than 7 kV, the frequency f, and the relationship between the
voltage V and the frequency f satisfies a specific parameter. And, the ionizer of the present invention is characterized that
ionization is performed by using the above mentioned fan-type ion generator.
