Abstract
A headhas a through holeinto which compressed air is supplied and flows, and a discharge electrodeis disposed inside the through hole. When a voltage required for discharging is applied to the headmade of a conductor and the discharge electrode, a corona C is generated at a tip endof the discharge electrode, whereby flowing air is ionized. By a cylindrical housing tube portionmade of an insulator and receiving most of the discharge electrodeand a tapered guide portion (transfer fluid guiding member)formed at a downstream-side end thereof, an air flow is biased and guided on a side of an outer circumference thereof so as not to rush directly against the corona generating region. Thus, even when air supply pressure is increased, an ion balance can be stabilized without almost changing pressure or a flow rate in the corona generating region.
