In this type of discharge device, an unequal electric field is formed between electrodes like needle-to-flat or needle-to-needle,
By setting the discharge conditions appropriately, corona discharge,
Generating glow discharge, arc discharge or spark discharge. No matter which type of discharge is employed, discharge itself is an unstable phenomenon, so in industrial-scale devices, a desired discharge field is formed by using a plurality of pairs of electrodes. In this case, if you connect each electrode directly to the power source,
It is not easy to discharge uniformly in each discharge gap because the condition of the fluid to be treated in each discharge gap is not necessarily uniform or because the length of the discharge gap is slightly different. Furthermore, there is a risk that the electric current will suddenly increase instantaneously due to discharge, which may damage the electrodes. For this reason, in conventional devices, an electric resistor is interposed in the circuit connecting the electrode and the power source (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-23147). Since an electrode resistor is usually provided for each electrode, as the number of electrodes used increases, it is necessary to use a corresponding number of electrical resistors. Furthermore, during discharging, power is consumed by these electrical resistors, but there is also the problem that all of this electrical energy is dissipated as heat and does not contribute to the discharging at all.

Summary of the Invention The present invention solves the drawbacks of the prior art, and achieves the role of the electrical resistor used in the prior art by arranging discharge gaps in series so that each discharge gap is uniformly distributed. The present invention provides a discharging device that allows discharge to occur quickly and consumes little power. That is, the present invention provides application electrodes to which a voltage is applied and which are arranged to face each other, and an electrode which is located on a line connecting the discharge portions of the two application electrodes and is arranged between these electrodes with a distance from these electrodes. This is a discharge device consisting of an intermediate electrode.

The application electrode 1 is preferably a needle-shaped electrode, but a flat plate electrode or a rod-shaped electrode can also be used. For needle-like electrodes, the tip portions are arranged opposite to each other, for flat electrodes, the end portions are arranged opposite to each other, and for rod-like electrodes, the length directions are arranged opposite to each other. As the material of the application electrode 1, conventionally known conductive materials such as iron, aluminum, and tungsten can be used.

Although various shapes and materials can be used for the intermediate electrode 2 as described above, a needle-shaped electrode is preferable. This intermediate electrode enables uniform discharge in each discharge gap. Here, the discharge gap length is a value obtained by subtracting the length of the intermediate electrode 2 from the length from the tip of the application electrode 1 on the left side to the tip of the application electrode 1 on the right side. That is, the discharge gap length l is l=l 1 +l 2 +l 3 (in the formula, l 1 , l 2 , and l 3 each indicate the distance between the electrodes as shown in the figure). In the conventional device, the length between both application electrodes corresponds to l, but in the device according to the present invention, l is divided by interposing the intermediate electrode 2. In the figure, l is divided into three parts. Generally speaking, if the number of intermediate electrodes located on the same horizontal line is n, then l is divided into n+1. l1 ,
l 2 and l 3 may be equidistant or different.
However, the most stable and uniform discharge is formed when l 1 =l 2 =l 3 . The length of the intermediate electrode 2 can be selected as appropriate. It is preferable that the intermediate electrode 2 be movable left and right on the support frame 4 so that fine adjustments of l 1 , l 2 and l 3 can be made.

The discharge characteristics are affected by the length of the discharge gap, the shape of the electrode surface, the state of the gas to be treated between the discharge gaps, etc. Conventional devices are directly affected by these effects, and therefore have the disadvantage that the gaps that are most likely to discharge are selectively discharged due to slight differences in discharge gap length between discharge gaps or slight differences in the gas atmosphere to be treated. . In the device according to the present invention, since the discharge gap length l is divided, the influence on the discharge occurring at l 1 , l 2 , and l 3 can be reduced or offset, and uniform discharge can be achieved at each discharge gap length l. do. For example, considering the discharge at l 1 (assuming that the desired discharge is formed at l 1 and l 2 ), the interelectrode distance l 1 here is l 1 /l with respect to the total discharge gap length l. 1 + l 2 + l 3 , it is considered that the influence of the distance between the electrodes and the fluid to be treated in this discharge gap on the discharge can be reduced to l/l 1 + l 2 + l 3 . The same applies to l 2 and l 3 . From this point of view, it can be said that the more intermediate electrodes are used, the more uniform discharge can be performed in each column. However, since l is generally 1 to 5 cm, if n is too large, l 1 ,
As l 2 and l 3 become smaller, it is necessary to improve the precision in manufacturing the device. Therefore, n=2 to 5 is preferable.

The voltage applied from the power source 3 to the application electrode 1 may be alternating current or direct current. Various voltages can be selected depending on the desired discharge type as described below, but preferably 0.7 kv/mm per unit length of discharge gap length l.
That's all. The longer l is, the higher the required voltage is, and the greater the number of electrodes connected in parallel, the greater the current required.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, by dividing the discharge gap with intermediate electrodes, a uniform discharge can be achieved between each application electrode arranged in parallel without using a conventional electric resistor. It is possible to create a field. Thereby, the volumetric efficiency of the device can be increased, and the device can be made smaller. Also,
Since there is no need to use an electrical resistor, most of the power consumed during discharging contributes to discharging, which can improve energy efficiency. Furthermore, by making the intermediate electrode movable as appropriate,
Another advantage is that conditions for uniform discharge can be easily set by finely adjusting l 1 , l 2 or l 3 .
