Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the yield of ozone gas in a closed ozone generator unit. In a closed ozone generator unit, oxygen gas is transformed into ozone gas by means of alternating current, the oxygen gas being substantially pressurized before entry into the unit. The unit is exposed to an external pressure substantially equal to or higher than the pressure of the oxygen gas.

Abstract: The method of controlling ozone supply to a pool or spa body of liquid, that includes providing an ozone generator; providing a control valve operatively connected to the generator to control induced flow of ozone to a pool or spa body of liquid, the valve being solenoid controlled; providing a control for timing of operation of the valve; and providing for controlled delivery of ozone via the valve to air supply to the pool or spa or a re-circulating liquid supply to the pool or spa. The invention allows newly designed or pre-existing systems to add ozone gas to a water body, under the control of a valve, without losing sealed integrating of the air delivery system to the water body.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for the use of ozone as a sterilant for many classes of surgical instruments which are at least partially metallic. Three features are the connection of a voltage carrying part of the instrument to be sterilized as the electrode of an ozone generating cell, which employs a glow discharge and maintaining the temperature of this electrode below 500° C., and that no solid dielectric exists between opposed electrodes in the ozone generating cell. Ozone is thereby localized about voltage carrying and any non-voltage carrying parts of the electrode connected instrument. The control of electrode heating helps to maintain the increasing atmospheric concentration of the ozone, which will however eventually reach a natural limit. Local heating of the electrode configuration is controlled where the instrument to be sterilized is connected at least periodically as the negative electrode.

Abstract: A fluid dynamic ozone generator includes a coaxial gas-fluid mixing tube, an air-cooled ozone formation tube, and a liquid-pressurized gas-liquid mixer. The air-cooled ozone formation tube has an electric discharge region for inducing and sustaining micro-discharges. An oxygen-containing gas flowing through the region is capable of forming ozone. The air-cooled ozone formation tube is installed within the coaxial gas-fluid mixing tube. The liquid-pressurized gas-liquid mixer has an airtight container with an inlet pipe for gas-contained water. Undissolved gas leaves the water and, with the addition of water pressure, builds a positive pressure in the container. The positive pressure helps to dissolve the gas in the water.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating ozone in high concentration with efficiency and linearly controlling the concentration of ozone is disclosed. The apparatus includes an oxygen generator, a flat plate type ozone generator, a high-voltage transformer, a high-frequency inverter, a cooling-water supplier, and a control signal generator. The high-frequency inverter linearly controls the concentration of ozone by applying a high-frequency voltage pulse generated according to a predetermined ON/OFF time ratio corresponding to a voltage level of a control signal, to the flat plate type ozone generator through the high-voltage transformer. The flat plate type ozone generator uses a flat plate type ceramic as dielectrics, thereby optimizing the efficiency of ozone generation and the endurance of the ozone generator, and thus simultaneously miniaturizing dimension thereof.

Abstract: A system for generating ozone by corona discharge comprises a corona discharge ozone generating cell. A downstream pressure regulator is disposed downstream and coupled to the corona discharge ozone generating cell for setting and automatically maintaining a desired cell pressure for the ozone generating cell so that effects of variances caused by processing of the ozone-containing gas downstream of the ozone generating cell on ozone production by the ozone generating cell are eliminated or at least minimized. A flow control orifice is provided upstream of the ozone generating cell for controlling the flow of incoming gas to the ozone generating cell for producing the ozone-containing gas. An upstream pressure regulator is provided upstream of the ozone generating cell for maintaining an inlet pressure of the incoming gas entering the ozone generating cell. After setting the desired cell pressure in the downstream pressure regulator, the desired flow control through the flow control orifice, and a voltage level for operating the ozone generating cell, the upstream pressure regulator can be adjusted to the optimum level to maximize ozone production.

Abstract: The invention provides an ozone generator controlling apparatus capable of controlling an ozone generator so that when a discharge breakdown occurs in some discharge element, the operation of generating ozone can be continued without imposing a bad influence on the remaining normal discharge elements. When an anomaly occurs in one of or a plurality of discharge elements during the operation of generating ozone, the anomaly is detected by an anomaly detection means. In response to the detection of the anomaly, first output control means reduces the output of an AC power supply circuit to a sufficiently low level so that after the discharge element having the anomaly is isolated from the circuit the operation of generating ozone can be continued with the remaining normal discharge elements without interruption and without causing the normal discharge elements to encounter an overload current thus preventing them from being broken one after another. The discharge element having the anomaly may be isolated using nondestructive current cut-off means such as a high-voltage relay. In this case, the current cut-off means can be used for a very long time without having to replace when a breakdown occurs in some discharge element, unlike the case where a fuse is used as the current cut-off means. When an anomaly occurs in some discharge element, instead of immediately isolating it from the circuit, the output of the AC power supply circuit may be reduced using second output control means until the current detected by the current detection means becomes lower than the predetermined upper allowable limit. This makes it possible to continue the operation of generating ozone without isolating the discharge element having the anomaly.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供了一种臭氧发生器控制装置，其能够控制臭氧发生器，使得当在一些放电元件中发生放电击穿时，可以继续产生臭氧的操作，而不会对剩余的正常放电元件造成不良影响。 当在产生臭氧的操作期间在一个或多个放电元件中发生异常时，异常由异常检测装置检测。 响应于异常的检测，第一输出控制装置将AC电源电路的输出减小到足够低的电平，使得在具有异常的放电元件与电路隔离之后，可以继续产生臭氧的操作， 剩余的正常放电元件没有中断而不会导致正常放电元件遇到过载电流，从而防止它们相继断开。 具有异常的放电元件可以使用诸如高压继电器之类的非破坏性电流切断装置来隔离。 在这种情况下，与使用保险丝作为电流截止装置的情况不同，在某些放电元件中发生击穿时，电流截止装置可以使用很长时间而不必更换。 当某些放电元件发生异常时，不是立即将其与电路隔离，所以可以使用第二输出控制装置来减小AC电源电路的输出，直到由电流检测装置检测到的电流变得低于预定的上限允许值 限制。 这使得可以在不隔离具有异常的排出元件的情况下继续产生臭氧的操作。
