Abstract:
An ozone generator is formed by extending an elongate coil spring through an elongate cylindrical tube. Several return bends are formed in the coil spring to provide several continuous straight sections that extend the length of the tube. A conductive foil overlies the tube so that electrical discharges are created between radially outermost parts of the coil spring and an inner surface of the tube when a potential difference is established between the spring and foil. The tube is made of a dielectric material to prevent direct arcing between the spring parts and the foil. The device operates from household current and produces ozonated air when air is blown through the tube. In one application, a closed circuit is established that includes air conditioning ducts in series with the ozone generator and a blower so that dwelling occupants are protected from ozone inhalation as the ozone destroys respiratory problem-causing organisms living in the ducts.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a novel ozone generator device for the production of high concentrations of ozone by way of a design that permits a process environment that is consonant with the optimum values of hardware and operating variables that thermodynamically favor the production of ozone. The device is characterized by a small corona chamber resulting in a low oxygen retention time, a thermally conductive ducted core permitting circulation of a coolant for cooling the feed oxygen and produced ozone, a spherical corona chamber and electrode geometry promoting a homogeneous high electric field density, operating pressures as high as 2000 psi, free expansion cooling of the oxygen at both the inlet and outlet ports of the device, and the selection of an electrode that ensures the production and maintenance of a homogeneous corona. Also disclosed is a closed-loop ozone generator system wherein unused feed oxygen is recovered and recycled for further processing by the system. Uses of the ozone generator device of this invention is more diverse than uses described in the background by virtue of the increased ozone production of the device over the background art, and includes remediation of biofoulants, biocontaminants, chlorine, chloramines and organic contaminants from drinking and process water, and the removal of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide from flue gases.

Abstract:
A tubular type ozone generator with inner and outer concentric electrodes and a middle dielectric member. One end is sealed to permit feed gas traversing the inner gap between the inner electrode and the dielectric member to reverse direction and to traverse the outer gap between the dielectric member and the outer electrode. A method for producing ozone using a tubular type ozone generator where first the total feed gas is passed in one direction between an electrode and the dielectric member for producing ozone, reversed, and then passed in the reverse direction between the dielectric member and the other electrode producing additional ozone. A hollow inner electrode permits more efficient cooling of the inner electrode. A plurality of ozone generators are combined with intake and output manifolds for the feed gas and produced ozone.
Abstract:
In ozone generators having segmented inner electrodes (7), the electric connection of the segments is effected by means of plane contact areas (10) applied to the ends of the segments. A tension rod (11) passing through all segments ensures cohesion and, at the same time, is used as the connecting element for supplying the ozone generator with power.
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.
Abstract:
An ozone generator includes one or more electrode pairs each containing two electrodes arranged at a distance of a predetermined gap length and a power source for applying an alternating-current voltage between the two electrodes. In the ozone generator, ozone is produced when a source gas flows at least between the two electrodes and a discharge is generated between the two electrodes. The ozone generator has a discharge space formed between the two electrodes, and the ozone generator satisfies the condition of 0.5
