Patent attributes
Disclosed is an air cleaning device for air conditioners. The air cleaning device includes a charging unit, and a dust collector including ground bodies and high voltage applied bodies forming a potential difference with the ground bodies, and disposed after the charging unit in an air flow direction, the charging unit includes a charging unit body and carbon fiber electrodes installed on the charging unit body, and a hydrophilic layer is formed on the outer surface of at least one of the ground bodies and the high voltage applied bodies. The air cleaning device may minimize an amount of generated ozone and an amount of generated ions, as compared to a case having a charging unit in which electrical discharge wires and opposite electrodes are alternately disposed, and increase dust collection efficiency with a simple structure and at low costs.
