- the amount of generated ions also changes slightly. Turn into. That is, when the resistance value is increased, the leakage current decreases, the voltage drop due to the current decreases, and the amount of ions generated increases. Also, if the resistance value is reduced, the leakage current increases, the voltage drop due to the current increases, and the amount of ions generated decreases.

- the number of linear electrodes of the ion generator is not limited to one, and two or more linear electrodes may be provided. However, when two or more linear electrodes are provided, if the linear electrodes are too close to each other, the electric field distribution is disturbed and the discharge efficiency is lowered.
- the present invention can be applied not only to the generation of negative ions but also to the generation of positive ions.
- a high voltage power source that generates a positive voltage is used and a positive voltage is applied to the high voltage electrode.
