AIR CLEANER

To provide an air cleaner capable of suppressing inflow into a room of charged particles or the like released into the atmosphere in the process of air cleaning.SOLUTION: An air cleaner includes an air supply unit which introduces air to a room through a room air supply port 2 and of which one end is connected to the room air supply port 2, an air cleaning unit 60 that is installed in the air supply unit and releases charged particles into the atmosphere, and a removal unit 70 that is installed between the air cleaning unit 60 and the room air supply port 2 or at the room air supply port 2 and able to capture the charged particles. The removal unit 70 is equipped with a conductor 71 and a voltage impression part that keeps the conductor 71 at an electric potential having a polarity opposite to the electric charge of the charged particles or at the ground potential.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】空気清浄化の過程で空気中に放出された荷電粒子等の室内への流出を抑制できる空気清浄装置を提供する。【解決手段】この発明に係る空気清浄装置は、一端が室内給気口２に接続され、空気を室内給気口２から室内に送出するための給気部と、給気部に設けられ、荷電粒子を空気中に放出する空気清浄部６０と、給気部における空気清浄部６０と室内給気口２との間又は室内給気口２に設けられ、荷電粒子を捕捉可能な除去部７０と、を備える。除去部７０は、導電体７１と、導電体７１を、荷電粒子が帯びる電荷とは反対の極性を有する電位又は接地電位とする電圧印加部と、を備える。【選択図】図１
