AbstraThis study on the High Vpltage Ionizer for Automotive to reducing of an Electrode heat deterioration. Generally, High Volatage Ionizer is effect on the life cycle because of activating high voltage of electrode needle. An electrode needle deterioration effect on coil bobin number, manufacturing process, ion characteristics, etc. Thus, this study is considering to various characteristic of high voltage ionizer more improvement in effective.

Bioaerosols, airborne particles of biological origin, are omnipresent in the common surroundings of humans. In antimicrobial filter system, as particles or organic materials are deposited on the filter surface, the bacteria come into contact with the antimicrobial material less, and thus they can easily grow on particles or organic materials. We selected a carbon fiber ionizer which generated air ions as antimicrobial agent. Antimicrobial effect of carbon fiber ionizer on the outlet air and condensate water was tested using application of carbon fiber ionizer in a small-scale commercial air conditioner. In conclusion, the application of carbon fiber ionizer in the air conditioner showed more increasing antimicrobial efficiency.

A high efficiency roll-type electret polypropylene (PP) filter with an external electric field was developed and its particle collection efficiency and air cleaning capacity was investigated in a room when applied to an air cleaner having a fan. To enhance air cleaning performance of the cleaner, a wire-plate type ionizer was installed in front of the filter to enhance electric field to filter and one side of the filter was embossed by press of a pattern with a lot of circular projection. Performance test results showed that the newly developed electret PP filter with an ionizer becomes an appropriate filter to be applied to indoor air cleaner due to its low pressure drop and high air cleaning performance.

Ozone has become a significant pollutant not only outdoors but also indoors. The ozone emission test was conducted for the sum of forty five air cleaners selected in the online shops and department stores. Negative ion emission test was also conducted for the selected fifteen ones which had the function to generate negative ions. Filter-type and complex type air cleaners emitted ozone less than 0.05 ppm, the standard of indoor ozone emission of air cleaner. Wet type ones emitted no ozone. In the case of ionizer type, 66.7% in the nine ones emitted ozone about 1.4~10 times larger than 0.05ppm. Most of air cleaners used a pin corona discharge emitted large amount of ozone. Those which used carbon fiber emitted little ozone in spite of generating a lot of negative ions.
