1. An electrostatic atomization system for a vehicle comprising:

  • an electrostatic atomization device that generates charged micro-particle water by applying a high voltage to a liquid supplied to a discharge unit, wherein the electrostatic atomization device includes an emission port for emitting the charged micro-particle water;

    a vehicle interior introduction port arranged in an instrument panel in a vehicle interior and exposed to the vehicle interior, wherein the vehicle interior introduction port is partitioned from an air flow path of an air conditioner and is not in communication with an air outlet of the air conditioner; and

    a communication duct that includes two ends, wherein one of the two ends is connected to the emission port of the electrostatic atomization device and the other one of the two ends is fixed to the instrument panel and connected to the vehicle interior introduction port so that the charged micro-particle water generated by the electrostatic atomization device and flowing entirely through the communication duct is emitted from the vehicle interior introduction port toward the vehicle interior, wherein;

    the electrostatic atomization device is located in a lower position than the vehicle interior introduction port in a vertical direction, the position causing a backflow of a liquid through the communication duct from the vehicle interior introduction port to the electrostatic atomization device, andthe communication duct includes;

    a first curved portion arranged between the emission port and the vehicle interior introduction port, wherein the first curved portion is maintained curved downward in a lower position than the vehicle interior introduction port in the vertical direction; and

    a second curved portion arranged between the first curved portion and the emission port, wherein the second curved portion is maintained curved upward in an upper position than the first curved portion in the vertical direction.
