Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for sterilizing articles using an ozone-containing gas, where condensation of water from the sterilization atmosphere during the sterilization process is substantially prevented. The inventive sterilization method includes providing a sterilization chamber and placing an article into the sterilization chamber. The sterilization chamber is sealed prior to equalizing the temperature of the article and the atmosphere in the sterilization chamber. A vacuum is applied to achieve a preselected vacuum pressure in the sterilization chamber. Once the vacuum pressure is set, water vapour is supplied to the sterilization chamber. Ozone-containing gas is then supplied to the sterilization chamber and the sterilization chamber remains sealed for a preselected treatment period, where the sterilization chamber remains sealed throughout the whole process. Finally, vacuum in the sterilization chamber is released.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for the use of ozone as a sterilant for many classes of surgical instruments which are at least partially metallic. Three features are the connection of a voltage carrying part of the instrument to be sterilized as the electrode of an ozone generating cell, which employs a glow discharge and maintaining the temperature of this electrode below 500null C., and that no solid dielectric exists between opposed electrodes in the ozone generating cell. Ozone is thereby localized about voltage carrying and any non-voltage carrying parts of the electrode connected instrument. The control of electrode heating helps to maintain the increasing atmospheric concentration of the ozone, which will however eventually reach a natural limit. Local heating of the electrode configuration is controlled where the instrument to be sterilized is connected at least periodically as the negative electrode. This helps to avoid the avalanche of the ozone generating glow discharge into an unproductive arc. There is no tendency for a glow to arc transition to occur from a field enhancement at an irregular surface. The glow discharge is rendered more stable when no solid dielectric exists between opposed electrodes in the ozone generating cell and a smooth surfaced plate acts as an anode, the electric field distribution provides the necessary accelerating field everywhere over a cathode object for production of ultraviolet light, soft x-rays and charged particles with energies sufficient to sterilize on impact with the surface. The slightly enhanced field at a surface irregularity caused by a contaminating microbe will rapidly disappear as the enhanced field destroys the microbe.

Abstract: An ozone generator is disclosed in which ozone production is controlled through corona voltage and airflow. The ozone from the generator converts perchloroethylene vapor in dry cleaning effluents into environmentally acceptable compounds. Ozone generation is controlled in response to the perchloroethylene vapor concentration in the mixture that is discharged from a mixing chamber in the apparatus. Other features include an inflatable retention chamber for allowing the ozone and perchloroethylene reaction to go to completion and improved means for cleaning the glass plates in the ozone generator by sliding the plates out of the generator structure.

Abstract: A unique combination of one and preferably a pair of gas drying units for drying oxygen containing gas to be ozonized and a corona discharge ozone generating unit is provided by a vortex tube unit having an inlet for receiving dried air to be ozonized, a cool air outlet carrying the slow moving molecules of the gas to the inlet of the ozone generating unit and a warm air outlet connected through passageways extending to openings in the drying units for circulating warm air for drying saturated gas drying units. Where two drying units are provided, the air to be dried and ozonized is preferably alternately automatically fed to the inputs of the two drying units, and the warm air outlet of the vortex tube unit is alternately fed through the air drying unit so the drying unit which at a given instant is not receiving air to be dried is itself being dried by warm de-moisturizing air.
