Abstract:
In an ozone generation apparatus, a discharge cell includes a first electrode part, a second electrode part, and a dielectric partition plate. The first electrode part and the second electrode part face each other, and the dielectric partition plate is provided between the first and second electrode parts.
Abstract:
A method for generating a non-thermal plasma having predetermined ozone concentration includes: providing an at least approximately closed volume as a reaction region; activating a plasma source and generating a non-thermal plasma in the reaction region. The plasma is held in the reaction region at least until a predetermined ozone concentration is reached or the ozone concentration falls below a predetermined upper limit for the ozone concentration.
Abstract:
In the present invention, a gas flow rate adjustment apparatus that outputs a raw material gas to an ozone generation apparatus is provided. The gas flow rate adjustment apparatus includes a plurality of flow rate adjustment parts, and outputs a second mixed gas serving as the raw material gas to the ozone generation apparatus. The second mixed gas includes an oxygen gas outputted from a first oxygen flow rate adjustment part and a first mixed gas outputted from a mixed gas flow rate adjustment part. The raw material gas generated by the gas flow rate adjustment apparatus, which includes an oxygen gas and a nitrogen gas, contains the nitrogen gas added to the oxygen gas with the rate of addition being in a range of more than 0 PPM and not more than 100 PPM.
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.
Abstract:
An ozone infection control device includes a body portion having a channel or passageway for receiving a catheter so that the catheter may extend from outwardly of the device to a catheter exit site at a central area of the device. A plurality of air inlet openings are spaced around a peripheral skirt of the device. A negative ion ozone generator having a plurality of spaced pointed projections is located within the body portion inwardly of the peripheral skirt and in the path of flow of air flowing through the inlet openings to generate ozone from the air. An oppositely charged ground disk is mounted within the body portion inwardly of the ozone generator. Air flows along a path of flow from the inlet openings to the ozone generator where ozone is created. The path of flow then extends to the ground disk and to the catheter exit site to bathe the catheter exit site with anti-microbial ozone. The flow path would then exit from the device through the catheter passageway.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of treating, fly ash having an unacceptably high concentration of carbon, with ozone produced in situ by corona discharge. This method will allow high carbon-content fly ash to be used with air entrainment agents as an additive to cement. The corona discharge can be produced in the exhaust pipe with a venturi of various combustion systems. The device of this invention can be used in conjunction with a triboelectric carbon-fly ash separation system or in a conventional combustion system. The corona discharge is produced off of sharp-tipped metal devices. A venturi is used in the exhaust pipe in the exhaust pipe in conjunction with the sharp-tipped metal devices.
