To provide an ionizer wherein an air flow path in a hollow casing is
formed so as to be pressure-resistant while ensuring an effective cross
sectional area without becoming voluminous, and the flow path is ensured
simply and easily. In an ionizer including a hollow casing that contains
a high voltage power unit and a control unit inside, along the
longitudinal direction of the casing, a plurality of electrode units each
including needle electrodes and an air outlet for blowing out an air
stream around the needle electrodes are arranged in a line. A part along
the longitudinal direction of the hollow casing is formed of a synthetic
resin, and a resin casing composed of the synthetic resin is integrally
formed with a conduit of an air flow path extending in the longitudinal
direction of the casing so that a part of the inner wall of the resin
casing serves as a wall of the conduit and that the air flow path
communicates with the air outlet.
