Title: Cooling method by use of corona discharge

Abstract: In cooling an article by the phenomenon of corona discharge caused when the article is placed opposite a high-potential electrode, a high electric potential is applied between the article and the electrode. This invention contemplates interposing a corona focusing ring between the article and the high-potential electrode. When high electric potential is also applied to the corona focusing ring, the avalanche of ions generated by the electrode in consequence of corona discharge is focused upon the article by the corona focusing ring, with the result that local cooling is effected on the article.
