Abstract:
An ozone generating apparatus includes a base container for holder water and a head assembly connected to the upper edge of the base container, the head assembly containing ozone generating cells, each having a dielectric tube and an electrode assembly coaxially disposed with the associated dielectric tube. The dielectric tubes and electrode assemblies are disposed and connected such that the tube and/or electrode assembly of each ozone generating cell can be accessed and replaced independently of all other ozone generating cells, and such that the possibility of cascade failure of all remaining ozone generating cells upon failure of a single cell is substantially eliminated.
Abstract:
A compact, inexpensive, large-capacity ozone generator with increased ease of apparatus maintenance. An ozone power supply includes an n-phase inverter for obtaining an AC voltage having a predetermined frequency and outputting an n-phase AC voltage waveform; n reactors and an n-phase transformer for converting an n-phase AC voltage to a high AC voltage; n high-voltage terminals for outputting the n-phase high AC voltage; and a low-voltage terminal having a common potential. Ozone generator units are electrically divided into n pieces within a discharge chamber. Each ozone generator unit includes n high-voltage electrode terminals and one low-voltage electrode terminal, common to all ozone generator units. Each ozone generator unit supports an n-phase AC discharge to generate ozone.

To improve ozone concentration without depending on reduction of a gap amount in a discharge gap. Dispose dielectric bodies between a high-voltage electrode and a low-voltage electrode to form a discharge gap. On a back surface side of the high-voltage and the low-voltage electrodes, a high-voltage insulating plate and a low-voltage insulating plate are disposed, respectively, for insulating the electrodes and from cooling water. A thickness of the high-voltage insulating plate is set to not less than 0.5 times and not more than 3.5 times the total thickness of the dielectric bodies, which are disposed between the high-voltage and the low-voltage electrodes. Opposed surfaces of the dielectric bodies, which contact the discharge gap, are smoothed such that a roughness Ra thereof is not larger than 2 μm.
Abstract:
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.

A method and apparatus for improving the yield of ozone gas in a closed ozone generator unit. In a closed ozone generator unit, oxygen gas is transformed into ozone gas by means of alternating current, the oxygen gas being substantially pressurized before entry into the unit. The unit is exposed to an external pressure substantially equal to or higher than the pressure of the oxygen gas.

Abstract:
An ozone production apparatus for increasing ozone generation efficiency by improving ceramic plate cooling efficiency. An ozonizer of this invention has a steel plate shaped body for use as a discharge electrode through which gas is permeable from one surface to another. This discharge electrode is faced on both sides by two ceramic plates, with a material gas flow inlet provided on one side and an ozone flow outlet on the other side. The ozonizer unit is provided with an insulated waterproof cable for applying a high voltage to the discharge electrode. This ozonizer unit is submerged inside a cooling water tank, and a high voltage, high frequency power supply unit is connected between the discharge electrode and the cooling water, with the cooling water tank as the grounded side. In this manner, since the ozonizer unit is submerged inside the cooling water tank, the cooling efficiency is improved and the ozone generation increased.
Abstract:
An ozone generator (10) has top and bottom chambers (12, 14) interconnected by a vertically extending elongated tubular assembly (16). Assembly (16) has a control electrode (18) within a conductive tube member (20) and separated therefrom by an annular dielectric member (22) which only partly fills the space between items (18, 20). The dielectric member (22) is suspended by an O-ring at its upper end within the top chamber (12) and is free from contact with both the electrode (18) and the tube member (20). Gas flow between the top and bottom chambers (12, 14) is along radially inner and outer annular passageways within the assembly (16) and the top chamber (12) is partitioned into two chambers which respectively communicate with these passageways. The generator (10) may have a plurality of similar assemblies (16) extending in parallel between common top and bottom chambers (12, 14).
