Zusammenfassung: | Positive and negative ion output are balanced in an electrical ionizer having positive and negative ion emitters, and positive and negative high voltage power supplies associated with the respective positive and negative ion emitters. At least one of the positive and negative high voltage power supplies switches between a high state and a low state. An ion balance sensor is located close to the ion emitters and outputs a voltage value. An ion balance sensor set point voltage value is stored. The voltage value is set to provide a balanced ion condition in the work space near the electrical ionizer. During operation of the electrical ionizer, the output voltage value of the ion balance sensor is compared with the set point voltage value. One of the switchable high voltage power supplies is switched to a high state when it is detected as a result of the comparison that the output voltage value of the ion balance sensor exceeds the set point voltage value in a first direction by a first predetermined amount, and the one of the switchable high voltage power supplies is switched to a low state when it is detected as a result of the comparison that the output voltage value of the ion balance sensor exceeds the set point voltage value in a second direction by a second predetermined amount, the second direction being opposite of the first direction. |
