An ionization electrode consists of a plate-like positive pole ( 31 a ) formed with plural pointed ends ( 31 b ) on its outer edge, and a spheric negative pole ( 32 a ) opposing a flat surface of the positive pole ( 31 a ). Since the pointed ends ( 31 b ) of the positive pole ( 31 a ) ar

An ionization electrode consists of a plate-like positive pole ( 31 a ) formed with plural pointed ends ( 31 b ) on its outer edge, and a spheric negative pole ( 32 a ) opposing a flat surface of the positive pole ( 31 a ). Since the pointed ends ( 31 b ) of the positive pole ( 31 a ) are not in direct face-to-face relation with the negative pole ( 32 a ), corona discharge is prevented from concentrating on some of the pointed ends ( 31 b ) that are closer to the negative pole ( 32 b ) than the rest due to the working errors or mounting errors of the poles. Therefore, the corona discharge occurs in a stable manner.
