Abstract:
An ozone generator has a dielectric element, first and second opposed end cap members and a gas passageway positioned between a high voltage electrode and a ground plane and positioned internal of the dielectric element, and at least one securring member extending between the opposed end caps whereby the securring member holds the end caps in place.
Abstract:
A vacuum cleaner is reconfigurable between at least two positions. The vacuum cleaner has at least one motor and fan assembly for receiving power and producing airflow during use of the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner also has at least one sensor adapted to sense a change in the position of the vacuum cleaner and to alter the power provided to the at least one motor and fan assembly in response thereto.
Abstract:
A water treatment apparatus for treating ozone with water is disclosed. The water treatment reservoir has a bottom, a fill line, a head space for receiving off gas provided above the fill line and a passageway for conveying off gas from the head space to an off gas venting outlet and for removing water which is above the fill from the water treatment reservoir.
Abstract:
A method for treating a liquid (e.g. water) with a gas (e.g. air) containing ozone includes passing air through an corona discharge ozone generator to produce air containing ozone and introducing the air containing ozone into the liquid; and, periodically de-energizing the ozone generator and passing air through the ozone generator.
Abstract:
An ozone generator comprises an electrically insulating housing and a high voltage electrode, a ground electrode and a dielectric element positioned within the housing.
Abstract:
A vacuum cleaner has a first and second cyclonic cleaning stages in series. The second cyclonic cleaning stage has a plurality of second stage cyclones. A conduit connects the first cyclonic cleaning stage outlet and the second stage cyclone inlets.
Abstract:
An apparatus has a heat engine and a power output member drivenly connected to the piston of the heat engine and having an output for supplying work. A feedback member responsive to power demand from the apparatus by a load is provided to modulate the amount of heat provided by the heat source to the working fluid.
Abstract:
An apparatus for use in a residence by an individual for treating water utilizes a control system to monitor the operation of the apparatus and to issue a warning signal to the individual if the water treatment cycle does treat the water to a predetermined level of treatment or if the control system detects that the ozone generator is not functioning. A process for conducting the water treatment cycle is also provided.
