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:
The invention provides a method for using an ozone generating apparatus containing a power supply apparatus and ozone generating device. The apparatus can be operated by controlling the power supplied from the power supply apparatus to the ozone generating device, supplying a flow of oxygen-containing gas to the ozone generating device, and controlling the flow of the oxygen-containing gas. The power supplied to the ozone generating device and flow of oxygen to the ozone generating device can be controlled to obtain a predetermined yield of ozone and to minimize the consumption of resources of the ozone generating apparatus.
Abstract:
A gas pipe integrated block includes a plurality of internal pipe paths. The plurality of internal pipe paths are connected to a nitrogen-free ozone generator in which a photocatalytic material for generating ozone is applied to a discharge surface, a controller (an MFC, a gas filter, and an APC), a raw material gas supply port, and an ozone gas output port. Thereby, a raw material gas input pipe path extending from the raw material gas supply port through the APC to the nitrogen-free ozone gas generator, and an ozone gas output pipe path extending from the nitrogen-free ozone generator through the gas filter and the MFC to the ozone gas output port, are formed in an integrated unit.
Abstract:
A system for performing ozone water treatment comprises a voltage supply circuit and a plasma eductor reactor. The voltage supply circuit includes an H-bridge controller and driver, a transformer, and an output port. The H-bridge controller and driver are configured to switch the electrical polarity of a pair of terminals. A primary of the transformer is connected to the H-bridge driver and controller. A secondary of the transformer connects in parallel with a first capacitor and in series with an inductor and a second capacitor. The output port connects in parallel with the second capacitor. The plasma eductor reactor includes an electric field generator, a flow spreader, and a diffuser. The electric field generator includes a pair of electrodes that generate an electric field. The flow spreader supplies a stream of oxygen. The diffuser supplies a stream of water. The streams of water and oxygen pass through the electric field.
Abstract:
There is described herein a direct current power supply which offers improved control over an output signal. An input signal generated by an alternating current source is received and chopped by a solid state relay. The chopped signal is rectified by a bridge rectifier before being filtered by an “LC” (induction coil-capacitor) or “CLC” (capacitor-induction coil-capacitor) filter. The output signal can then be used as a direct current power supply signal. This power supply may be used in various types of ozone generation systems.
Abstract:
A plasma generator 1 includes a first electrode 12 provided in a gas storage section 5; and a second electrode 13 separated from the first electrode 12 and provided in a manner such that at least the portion coupled with the first electrode 12 is in contact with a liquid 17 in a liquid storage section 4. Electric discharge is caused between the first electrode 12 and the second electrode 13 so as to produce plasma in a gas region in the liquid 17 in the liquid storage section and produce hydroxyl radical from water contained in the liquid 17 and oxygen contained in the gas. A voltage controller 60 controls a voltage applied by a plasma power source 15 depending on conditions.

Abstract:
An ozone gas output flow rate management unit configured to receive a plurality of ozone gas outputs from a plurality of ozone generation units and capable of performing an ozone gas output flow rate control for selectively outputting one or a combination of two or more of the plurality of ozone gas outputs to any of a plurality of ozone treatment apparatuses by performing an opening/closing operation of a plurality of ozone gas control valves provided in the ozone gas output flow rate management unit.
Abstract:
An air sanitization system including a housing having an inlet and an outlet, an ozone generator disposed in the housing and positioned between the inlet and outlet, at least one fiber optic cable positioned in visible proximity to the ozone generator, a visible light detector, and a controller. The housing is configured to receive a flow of an oxygen-containing gas through the inlet, and the ozone generator generates ozone from the flow of oxygen-containing gas. The at least one fiber optic cable is configured to receive and transmit visible light from the ozone generator. The visible light detector detects an amount of visible light transmitted by the at least one fiber optic cable. The controller is in communication with the visible light detector for determining whether the amount of visible light transmitted by the at least one fiber optic cable corresponds to a failure of the ozone generator.
