Abstract:
1. An oxidation catalyst device for oxidation resolution of carrier vapors generated in a fixation device of a wet-type electrophotographic image forming device, comprising: a duct connected to the fixation device to guide the carrier vapors generated in the fixation device to the outside of the fixation device; a fan installed within the duct to forcibly discharge the carrier vapors generated within the fixation device; a heater installed within the duct to heat the carrier vapors guided along the duct; an oxidation catalyst carrying element installed within the duct to facilitate the oxidation resolution reaction of the carrier vapors guided along in the duct; and a heat-radiating duct installed to surround the duct, wherein an airflow passage is formed between the outer wall of the duct and the inner wall of the heat-radiating duct.
