  • Publication number: 20090211459
    Abstract: A deodorization device of a cooking apparatus and a cooking apparatus having the deodorization device are disclosed. Because a discharge space is formed between first and second discharging units and air containing an odorant material entirely passes through the discharge space, the odorant material in the discharge space can be effectively removed. In addition, because the second discharging unit includes a plurality of electrode protrusions protrusively formed to be in contact with the first discharging unit, strong plasma can be generated in the vicinity of the electrode protrusions, so the deodorization effect can be improved. Moreover, because the plurality of electrode protrusions and the first discharging unit are disposed to be separated from each other, a phenomenon that end portions of the electrode protrusions are abraded when high temperature plasma is generated can be minimized, and thus, the life span can be lengthened.
