ABSTRACT:
A steam generator for efficiently generating fine steam particles is provided. Water supplied from a water tank is heated by a heater to generate steam in a steam chamber. The steam generator has a discharge generating portion, which is composed of a pair of electrodes, an intermediate electrode disposed therebetween, and a voltage applying unit for applying a voltage between the electrodes to generate discharges between the electrodes and the intermediate electrode. The steam generated in the steam chamber is exposed to the discharges, so that fine steam particles are efficiently sprayed out from the steam generator.
