Abstract:
A system including: an ozone generating device including discharge electrodes forming a discharge space; a gas supplying device; a power source device that supplies power to the discharge electrodes; a temperature adjustment device that adjusts temperature of the discharge electrodes; a control unit that controls the ozone generating device; and a detection unit that detects an ozone generation parameter in the ozone generating device. The control unit increases temperature of the discharge electrodes up to a vaporizing temperature of dinitrogen pentoxide by controlling the temperature adjustment device and the gas supplying device or the temperature adjustment device and the power source device, based on the output ozone generation parameter, to thereby switch operation from a normal operation mode to a cleaning operation mode in which surfaces of the discharge electrodes and the discharge space are cleaned up while continuing generation of ozone in the discharge space.

A gas is supplied to a discharge space, where discharge occurs, and a plasma is produced. At least one of the electrodes includes a conductive power feeding thin film on the dielectric member. When the dielectric member is destroyed and an arc discharge develops between the electrodes, the power feeding thin film is eliminated or oxidized, and the arc discharge is stopped.

This is a discharge cell used for an ozonizer. A space where a discharge gap amount is determined between the first electrodes 10 and 10 is formed by stacking a couple of upper and lower first electrodes 10 and 10, constituted by the plate-like rigid body, in both sides with sandwiching a couple of rigid body spacers 20 and 20. In this space, a dielectric body unit 30 that consists of a rigid body of the sandwich structure of sandwiching a second electrode 32 is arranged between glass plates 31 and 31. The dielectric body unit 30 is supported in a neutral position in the space by a plurality of spacers 40, 40, . . . for discharge gap formation that are inserted between the upper and lower first electrodes 10, and forms discharge gaps 50 and 50 in both sides. The minimum discharge gap amount G of 0.4 mm or less is stably secured. It is possible to prevent the damage of a cell component and a pressurizing mechanism.

Abstract:
An ozonizer has a flat plate-shaped low voltage electrode and a flat plate-shaped high voltage electrode facing a main surface of the low voltage electrode. The ozonizer also has a flat plate-shaped dielectric and a spacer for forming a discharge gap having a thickness in a laminating direction, provided between the low voltage electrode and the electrode, an electrode cooling sheet facing a main surface of the electrode at a side opposite the discharge gap for cooling the electrode. The ozonizer also has a thermally conducting and electrically insulating sheet sandwiched between the electrode and the electrode cooling sheet. An alternating voltage is applied between the low voltage electrode and the electrode and a discharge is produced in the discharge gap so that, when filled with oxygen, ozone gas is produced.
