Primary Examiner—Bernard Nozick Attorney, Agent, or Firm—Robert E. Bushnell [57] ABSTRACT An air cleaner comprises a dust collector of the positive corona using high • voltage source, for example DC 7KV, to collect the dust particles in the air, a plurality of ionizing wires function as the heating wire, and the separate voltage source for the ionizing wire is a relatively lower voltage source, for example DC 24V, DC 48V, which may be overrided comparing with the voltage difference between the electrifying panel and the ionizing wire so as to prevent the ill influence on the electrifying function and the dust collecting function. Therefore, an air cleaner can combine air with heating a room so as to make air in the room comfortable.
