Abstract
A cleaning apparatus for use in a wet type electrophotographic image forming apparatus has a duct which guides a fluid to the outside, the fluid containing an ozone and a carrier vapor which are respectively generated from a fusing part and a printing engine having a developing unit and a transfer unit, a fan for forcibly discharging the fluid through the duct, a carrier vapor combustion unit which burns a high concentration of carrier vapor of the fusing part inside the duct and accordingly lowers the concentration and increases the temperature of the carrier vapor of the fluid which is circulated by the fan, and an oxidation catalyst body for increasing a rate of the oxidation of the fluid which is heated by the combustion unit.
