Abstract: An electro-kinetic electrostatic air conditioner includes a self-contained ion generator that provides electro-kinetically moved air with ions and safe amounts of ozone. The ion generator includes a high voltage pulse generator whose output pulses are coupled between first and second electrode arrays. Preferably the first array comprises one or more wire electrodes spaced staggeringly apart from a second array comprising hollow nullUnull-shaped electrodes. Preferably a ratio between effective area of an electrode in the second array compared to effective area of an electrode in the first array exceeds about 15:1 and preferably is about 20:1. An electric field produced by the high voltage pulses between the arrays produces an electrostatic flow of ionized air containing safe amounts of ozone. A bias electrode, electrically coupled to the second array electrodes, affects net polarity of ions generated. The outflow of ionized air and ozone is thus conditioned.

Abstract: An electro-kinetic electrostatic air conditioner includes a mechanism to clean the wire-like electrodes in the first electrode array. A length of flexible Mylar type sheet material projects from the base of the second electrode array towards and beyond the first electrode array. The distal end of each sheet includes a slit that engages a corresponding wire-like electrode. As a user moves the second electrode array up or down within the conditioner housing, friction between slit edges and the wire-like electrode cleans the electrode surface. The sheet material may be biasedly pivotably attached to the base of the second electrode array, and may be urged away from and parallel to the wire-like electrodes when the conditioner is in use. Another embodiment includes a bead-like member having a through opening or channel, through which the wire-like electrode passes. As the conditioner is turned upside down and rightside up, friction between the opening in the bead-like member and wire-like electrode cleans the electrode surface. The bead-like member may be made of ceramic, glass, or even metal. The through channel may be symmetrically formed in the bead-like member, but preferably will be asymmetrical to create a mechanical moment and increased friction with the surface of the wire-like electrode being cleaned.

Abstract: A fluid treatment system utilizes a circulating pump and an ozone generator arranged to receive atmospheric air and emit ozone-rich air into a delivery pipe which is connected to the upstream, suction side of the circulating pump, for introducing ozone-rich air to the fluid to be treated prior to the fluid entering the pump, whereupon complete mixing and dispersement of the ozone through the fluid is achieved. The ozone generator comprises at least one pair and preferably a plurality of pairs of spaced flat plate electrodes, one of each pair being of smaller longitudinal and lateral dimensions than the other and one of the electrodes of each pair also being provided with a plurality of dimpled projections on its surface facing the other electrode of its pair. Air passageways are arranged to extend between each electrode pair so as to expose the entire surface area of the electrodes to the air moving therebetween.

Abstract: An ozone generator in which an air pump discharges air through a plurality of juxtaposed, successive, tubular housings, each of which has concentric wire mesh electrodes separated by dielectric tubes. A high a.c. potential, insufficient to cause a spark discharge, is imposed across the electrodes so that the oxygen of the air is progressively converted into ozone. The ozone laden air is directed through non-return valves into water flowing in a pipe for the purpose of destroying bacteria therein.
