The high voltage circuit receives AC power and includes a control circuit for producing a linearly controlled high voltage output from the AC feed for energizing the grids. The apparatus also includes an in-line sensor for determining the level of ozone being produced without affecting the ozone concentration. The high voltage circuit is also suitable for other applications where a precisely controlled high voltage output signal is needed.

Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for electronic monitoring of ozone generators are provided herein. In certain configurations, an ozone generator includes ozone generation circuitry for producing ozone and a control circuit that monitors the ozone generation circuitry to determine whether or not ozone is being properly produced. The control circuit includes an AC input that receives power from an AC power supply and one or more AC outputs for providing AC output voltages to the ozone generation circuitry. The control circuit further includes one or more AC current sensors used to monitor a status of ozone production by monitoring AC current flowing into the ozone generation circuitry via the control circuit's AC outputs. The control circuit alerts a user of the status of ozone production while avoiding a need for the user to test a treatment fluid for ozone concentration and/or manually inspect or test components of the ozone generator.
Abstract:
An ozone generation system which is adaptable for supplying ozone to different medium and small application processes. The system has a source of feed gas, a corona discharge cell receiving the feed gas from the feed gas source and generating ozone for the application process, a flow controller measuring and managing the flow of the feed gas from the feed gas source to the corona discharge cell; and a regulator receiving gas from the corona discharge cell and sending the gas to the application process. The regulator maintains pressure in the corona discharge cell independent of the application process pressure.
Abstract:
The present invention generally includes an ozone generation system with a power supply that measures the rate of energy delivered to the ozone generation cell. While changing voltage, frequency or current will likely affect the rate of energy delivery, current, frequency and voltage provide a very poor and unreliable control for an ozone generation cell. It is only through control of the rate of energy delivery that consistent, reliable ozone generation is possible. Based upon the measurements of the rate of energy delivery as measured at the ozone generation cell, compared to the rate of energy delivery supplied, the rate of energy delivery supplied can be adjusted to improve ozone production and control.
