Meanwhile, the other adsorption cylinder 109B is depressurized to atmospheric pressure, and the moisture adsorbed by the adsorbent is released and released into the atmosphere.

  Since the moisture in the adsorbent is not sufficiently released under reduced pressure up to atmospheric pressure, a part of the dehumidified air generated in the adsorption cylinder 109A is sent to the adsorption cylinder 109B, and the moisture adsorbed on the adsorbent is sufficiently released. .

  By performing the adsorption, decompression and dehumidifying air feeding steps alternately at intervals of 20 to 40 seconds using the solenoid valves 107A and 107B between the two adsorption cylinders 109A and 109B, a low dew point is continuously obtained from the air. Can get the air.

  Thereafter, dehumidified air having a low dew point is sent to the ozone generator 113 through the pressure reducing valve 112 and the orifice 110C, and ozone is generated. The generated ozone is opened on the casing wall surface by the operation of the electromagnetic valves 114A and 114B. The plurality of hoses 116A and 116B connected to the ozone hose attachment bases 115A and 115B are divided and discharged into a plurality of vehicles, and the cleaning operation in each vehicle is performed.

As described above, in the conventional ozone deodorization apparatus for automobiles, the air taken in is cooled to remove moisture in the air, and then supplied to the ozone generator 113, and the ozone generated in the ozone generator 113 is hose. In 116, the vehicle was introduced into the car to deodorize the car.
