Abstract:
A multi-use sanitization system is disclosed which includes one or more containers (2) in fluid communication with other system components. Components of the system include a vortex-venturi (5) for incorporating ozone into a liquid, an ozone generator (6) to provide ozone to the vortex-venturi (5), a double check valve (3) to allow simultaneous flow of liquid into and out of the container (2), and a pump (4) to promote fluid flow through the system. Optionally, a gas-liquid separator (7) with an optional integral gas release valve, an ozone destructor (8), an oxidation-reduction potential ozone sensor, or a pour-through type pre-filter may be incorporated into the system.
Abstract:
An ozone generator for generating ozone by supplying oxygen gas to discharge taking place between two electrodes arranged on the opposite sides of a dielectric sheet across a constant gap, wherein the ozone generation efficiency is enhanced by making narrower the gap. Since the efficiency is lowered due to heating of the electrode, a cooling path (23) is provided in an electrode in order to cool the electrode with water, or the like, but an extremely narrow gap can not be realized because the electrode is deformed by water pressure or heat or the dielectric sheet (4) is warped or cracked. A first recess (600) is made in the surface of an electrode in order to receive a spacer (601) and gap adjusting sheets (603), and the gap is adjusted by selecting the number of the gap adjusting sheets.
Abstract:
Process and device for treating objects by using electrical high-voltage discharges in a gaseous medium, in particular oxygen. It is the task of the invention to provide a technically simple method of producing, for example, ozone and/or other chemical or physical changes to gases, liquids, pastes or solids - including also ionized gases - in an open discharge path, which is safe to handle and can be used, even on the bodies of humans and animals, for medical and cosmetic purposes, as well as for destroying bacteria, viruses and similar. In addition, the invention makes it possible to bring about chemical reactions initiated by oriented discharge, on and in surfaces, which can be used, for example, for forgery-proof identification. The invention consists in effecting high-frequency discharges in rapid succession with a high-frequency electric a.c. or pulsed current, in allowing the spark discharges to move in only one direction and in accelerating, during the spark discharge, the gas and/or gas components or other particles, preferably ions, produced during spark discharge, in accordance with the direction of the electric field and moving these on or over the surface of the target object.
