AIR CONDITIONER ION GENERATOR
An ion generator (12) is configured to allow its attachment to the unmodified indoor-section of an air conditioning unit (10). The ion generator (12) has a) an ion gun located proximate to the path of an air stream exiting the condenser unit of the air conditioner, the ion gun has at least one sharp needle (24); b) two parts (30, 36) metallic duct casing (22) electrically isolated from the needle (24); c) a high power supply (48) connected to the needle (24) to cause a corona discharge and the generation of ions, the power supply (48) is disposed remotely from the sharp needle (24); and d) a low voltage power supply (62) connected to the first part (30) of the metallic duct (22).
