20080292450 | BLOWER APPARATUS - Blower apparatus has: an air duct having suction and supply openings; a blower fan for creating a flow of air in the duct; and an electrostatic atomizer. The atomizer includes a hollow body exposed to the air in the duct. The body is provided therein with an electrostatic atomization chamber, and has a barrier, an inlet and an outlet. The barrier is put in the duct so that a part of the air flowing in the duct collides with the front of the barrier and thereby pressure-increased air is obtained. The inlet is located at the front side of the barrier so that the pressure-increased air can enter the chamber through the inlet. The outlet is located at the rear side of the barrier so that all the pressure-increased air higher than that of the air flowing in the duct, from the chamber can flow out into the duct. | 11-27-2008 |
20090289132 | ELECTROSTATICALLY ATOMIZING DEVICE AND ELECTROSTATICALLY ATOMIZING SYSTEM - A high voltage is applied between an emitter electrode in an atomizing barrel and an opposed electrode supported to the atomizing barrel to electrostatically atomize a liquid supplied to the emitter electrode into a mist of charged minute particles. A silencer duct is attached to the front end of the atomizing barrel for reducing noises developed when generating the mist of the charged minute particles. Accordingly, the silencer duct can absorb the noises developed around the emitter electrode and the opposed electrode at immediately downstream thereof for effectively reducing the noises. | 11-26-2009 |
20100044476 | ELECTROSTATICALLY ATOMIZING DEVICE - An electrostatically atomizing device includes a housing and an electrostatically atomizing unit disposed within the housing. The atomizing unit includes an emitter electrode and an heat exchanger. The heat exchanger cools the emitter electrode to develop condensed water. A high voltage is applied to the emitter electrode in order to electrostatically atomizing the condensed water and generate a mist of charged minute water particles. The housing accommodates a fan generating an air flow accelerating a heat radiation of the heat exchanger, and a high voltage source generating the high voltage applied to the emitter electrode. The heat exchanger has its heat radiator section exposed to a flow passage of the air flow. The atomizing unit is formed with an air inlet for introducing the air flow which carries the mist of the charged minute water particles and release the mist. The atomizing unit and the high voltage source are arranged on opposite sides of the flow passage. A first air intake port for feeding the forced air flow from the fan and a second air intake port for feeding the air flow into the high voltage source are positioned upstream of a second air intake port which introduce the forced air flow into the flow passage. | 02-25-2010 |
20100072310 | ELECTROSTATICALLY ATOMIZING KIT FOR USE IN A VEHICLE - An electrostatically atomizing kit for use in a vehicle has an atomizing unit in combination with a plurality of differently shaped deflector guides. The atomizing unit is supplied with water and electrostatically atomizing the water into charged minute water particles in the form of a mist to be carried on a conditioned air blowing into a passenger's room through a blow port. The deflector ducts are selectively detachable to the blow port, and are differently shaped to each other to deflect the conditioned air carrying the mist in different directions in order to effectively concentrate the mist carried air to a particular object or item in the passenger's room. | 03-25-2010 |
20100133366 | AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WITH ELECTROSTATICALLY ATOMIZING FUNCTION - An air conditioning system with an electrostatically atomizing function includes an electrostatically atomizing unit and a ventilation duct which flows conditioned air. The electrostatically atomizing unit generates a mist of charged minute water particles. The electrostatically atomizing unit is provided with a discharge port which locates adjacent to an air outlet of the ventilation duct. The mist of the charged minute water particles flows into an airflow which is sent from the ventilation duct. The mist of the charged minute water particles effectively spreads to the space by the air flow without dissipating inside the ventilation duct. | 06-03-2010 |
20100133367 | ELECTROSTATICALLY ATOMIZING DEVICE - An electrostatically atomizing device has a housing and an electrostatically atomizing unit accommodated within the housing. The electrostatically atomizing unit includes an atomizing barrel and an emitter electrode disposed within the atomizing barrel and is configured to atomize water supplied to the emitter electrode at a tip of the emitter electrode and generate mist of charged minute water particles. Formed within the housing is an air pressure chamber which surrounds the atomizing barrel. The atomizing barrel is formed in its peripheral wall with a plurality of air inlets which are arranged circumferentially around the atomizing barrel to introduce pressurized air from the air pressure chamber for carrying the mist on the pressurized air introduced into the atomizing barrel from the plural air inlets and discharging the mist outwardly of the housing. | 06-03-2010 |
20100187338 | ELECTROSTATICALLY ATOMIZING DEVICE - An electrostatically atomizing device comprises an emitter electrode, an opposed electrode, a water supply means, a high voltage source, and a silencer. The opposed electrode is disposed in an opposed relation to the emitter electrode. The water supply means is configured to supply water to the emitter electrode. The high voltage source is configured to apply voltage between the emitter electrode and the opposed electrode in order to electrostatically atomize the water on the emitter electrode, thereby generating a mist. The silencer includes a sound absorbing duct being formed into tubular shape to have an axial bore. The axial bore is formed at its one axial end with an inlet in communication with the opening, and is formed at the other axial end with an outlet for flowing the mist out through the axial bore. The sound absorbing duct is attached to the opposed electrode such that the inlet is kept in communication with the opening. The sound absorbing duct has an inner circumferential surface. The inner circumferential surface includes a sound absorbing surface. The sound absorbing surface is located between the opposed electrode and the outlet. Entire area of the sound absorbing surface is uncovered. | 07-29-2010 |
20100241306 | ION GENERATING SYSTEM FOR USING IN A VEHICLE - An ion generating system for use in a vehicle has an ion generator and a controller for controlling the operation thereof. The ion generator is energized by a vehicle battery to keep dispensing ions by means of the controller even under a condition where the engine is not running, making deodorization or sterilization of a passenger's room to give a comfortable environment to the vehicle. | 09-23-2010 |
