20080242218 | Ventilation system - A ventilation system comprises ductwork, a fan for creating a current of air passing through the ductwork, and an air supply outlet for supplying outdoor air into a living space of a house by means of the current of air. The ventilation system further comprises an electrostatic atomizer located at the side of the air supply outlet. The electrostatic atomizer is configured to produce mist of charged fine water particles by means of electrostatic atomization to spray the mist into the living space. | 10-02-2008 |
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 |
20090114747 | ELECTROSTATICALLY ATOMIZING DEVICE - The liquid supplied to an emitter electrode located at a tip of an atomization nozzle receives the high-voltage and electrically charged.
