Abstract:
Disclosed is a new ac electric discharging power supply which is capable of permitting electric discharge to appear without difficulty even in the atmosphere of reduced gas pressure or even though undesired dielectric material should be accidentally adhered to the electrode surface, and in which power supply the plasma parameters vary hardly with time. The signal from master oscillator (1) is divided into a plurality of divisions by power divider (2), and each power division is controlled in phase and amplitude by phase-shifters (3) and power amplifiers (4). Oscillating frequency, phase and amplitude are controlled coordinately by control (7), and the final voltages appearing at the output terminals of power amplifiers (5) are applied to electrodes 6, which are arranged in an electric discharging vessel. One output terminals of all power transformers (5) are connected in common, ordinarily in floating condition, thereby permitting electric discharges to appear between selected electrodes (6). The phases and amplitudes of different voltages applied to electrodes (6) may be controlled to be same or appropriate for a particular application. Also, the shape and arrangement of electrodes (6) may be so selected as to be most appropriate for a particular application.
Abstract:
There is provided a highly efficient and compact ozone generating apparatus in which a very short air gap (5) of about 0.2 mm is formed at high accuracy. Non-discharge portions are dispersed and disposed to cover an entire discharge space, or a spacer (61) is provided to form the non-discharge portion. Further, an elastic body is mounted on a back face of an electrode, thereby enhancing an air gap accuracy of the discharge space.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for the inactivation of infectious organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa, and especially for the inactivation of human immunodeficiency virus in proteinaceous material such as blood and blood products. This process is accomplished without adversely affecting the normal physiological activity of the material, by contacting it for a time interval of only about 16 seconds with an ozone-oxygen mixture having an ozone concentration of only about 27 νg/ml. The system (10) includes a mobile cart (11) supporting an oxygen tank (15) that is regulated by valve (16) and is connected to an ozone generator (18) by tubing (17). The ozone-oxygen mixture exiting the ozone generator (18) is supplied via conduit (19) to the lower end of gas-liquid contact apparatus (20). The ozone-oxygen mixture has a resonant frequency of 7.83 Hz. Blood is introduced through a first pump (26) into the upper end of gas-liquid contact apparatus (20) and cascades down to a pool (P). A second pump (27) pumps the blood through a filter (28) and back to its source. The apparatus and method of the invention provide precise control of the concentration of ozone and the contact time between the material to be treated and the ozone-oxygen mixture.

A method and apparatus for producing ozone at high pressure by corona discharge comprising a high pressure oxygen gas feed between two electrodes (1A-2A) with one electrode provided with a dielectric, establishing a corona discharge between the electrodes.
Abstract:
The control device includes a storage configured to store two or more functions indicating a relationship between the power source output and the ozone concentration corresponding to the power source output in accordance with different gas flow rates in the ozone generator. The control device obtains a first power source output corresponding to the set ozone concentration and a second power source output corresponding to the detected ozone concentration based on the set ozone concentration of the ozone generator, an index indicating the gas flow rate of the ozone generator, the detected ozone concentration, and the two or more functions, and executing feedback control of controlling the power source output based on a difference between the first power source output and the second power source output.
