  • Patent number: 8333018
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a composition for enhancing evaporation of a solution and a method thereof. A far-infrared ray is released by a far-infrared releasing substance in the composition so as to induce evaporation of the solution. The far-infrared releasing substance may be ceramic minerals and mainly comprises 80˜99.9 wt % of oxide minerals including 60˜95 wt % of the aluminum oxide. The present invention can enhance evaporation of the solution by a simple physical method. Hence, the present invention not only promotes the application of the products but also reduces the pollutants generated by a chemical reaction, thereby achieving the object of protecting the environment from the pollution.

  • Patent number: 7883034
    Abstract: An electrostatic atomizing device, which is capable of increasing the generation of a fine mist, while suppressing abnormal discharge and the generation of ozone. This electrostatic atomizing device is equipped with a plurality of atomizing electrodes, to which a high voltage is applied by a single high voltage generating circuit, counter electrodes disposed so as to face the atomizing electrodes; and a liquid transfer means for transferring a liquid (e.g., water) to each of the atomizing electrodes. The atomizing electrodes are connected in parallel to the high voltage generating circuit, and a resistive element for suppressing discharge current is inserted between the high voltage generating circuit and each of the atomizing electrodes.

  • Patent number: 7676952
    Abstract: A hair dryer having a static atomizing device, which has the capability of generating an electrostatically charged microparticle mist of 3 nm to 100 nm. The static atomizing device has a pair of an atomizing electrode and a counter electrode, a tank for storing a liquid such as water; a liquid transport member for transport water from the tank to the atomizing electrode according to capillary phenomenon, and a voltage applying unit. When a high voltage is applied between the atomizing electrode and the counter electrode, while water being supplied to the atomizing electrode through the liquid transport member, the electrostatically charged microparticle mist is generated.

  • Patent number: 6877251
    Abstract: A drying apparatus for a sheet-fed offset printing machine which dries sheets as they pass along a sheet path with forcefully directed air and/or heat. The drying apparatus of the present invention is adapted for more effective sheet drying by means of an electrode and a corresponding counter electrode, wherein the electrode is connected to a high-voltage source and a high voltage is applied to the electrode by the high-voltage source in dependence on the operation of the sheet-fed printing machine and/or the length of the sheets.
