Abstract
The voltage application unit first applies voltages (+,+,0,−,−,0) respectively to the electrostatic delivery electrodesbelonging to the phase 'a', the phase 'b', the phase ‘c’, the phase ‘d’, the phase ‘e’, and the phase ‘f’, and then successively applies voltages (0,+,+,0,−,−), voltages (−,0,+,+,0,−), voltages (−,−,0,+,+,0), voltages (0,−,−,0,+,+), and voltages (+,0,−,−,0,+). The voltage application unit repeats this cycle multiple times to apply the voltages to the phase ‘a’ through the phase ‘f’. The water droplets flocculated in the oxidizing gas conduitsare charged by electrostatic induction and travel in the direction from the inlet to the outlet of the oxidizing gas conduitswhile being repelled or attracted by the electrostatic delivery electrodesin the vicinity of the water droplets in the course of the positive-negative variation of the voltage in the cycle.
