Abstract:
An electro chemical conversion cell that can break down certain gasses to provide ozone and monovalent oxygen from a supplied volume of a suitable 02-containing gas. The conversion cell is provided with at least one metal mesh electrode within a generator reaction chamber, and a power supply which is adapted to supply a high alternating electric current voltage to at least partially break-down O2 in the input gas to yield ozone. A fluid flow passage extends through the reaction chamber as a generally elongated passage through the reaction cavity. The fluid flow passage extends from an upstream end, where the O2-containing gas is initially supplied into the housing, to a downstream end where treated gas either flows outwardly therefrom under pressure or is evacuated from the housing. In a simplified construction, the fluid flow passage is delineated by a series of electrically insulating plates and/or spacers which are used to partition the reaction cavity.
Abstract:
A reactor produces a surface corona for emitting UV light and for the production of ozone by passing air or oxygen through the surface corona. The emitted UV light activates a photocatalyst coated on a surface facing a surface with embedded electrodes which generate the surface corona. The photocatalyst is a thin film of nanoparticle TiO2 with primary particle size of 0.02 to 0.2 μm was deposited on a substrate by a flame aerosol method. The method combines ozonation and photocatalysis to provide effective and efficient oxidation of alcohols and hydrocarbons to value added products. The method can also be used for air and water cleaning.
Abstract:
A starting circuit for an electric discharge lamp providing an electric current to a lamp having a first and a second filament. The circuit measures a lamp current and a filament temperature and then compares these against a reference voltage. When the lamp current is below a set threshold value, a relay contact disposed between the first and second filament is closed to direct the electric current through the first and second filaments to initiate pre-heating of the lamp. Once the filament temperature exceeds a set threshold, the relay contact is opened and the electric current passes through heated gas inside the lamp.

Abstract:
An ozone generator utilizing an ultraviolet light tube for generating ozone is disclosed. In this ozone generator, efficiency in converting oxygen to ozone is increased by imposing an electrical field around the light tube. This electrical field causes a theta pinch in the plasma of the light tube, increasing luminescence in the ultraviolet spectral range and exciting diatomic oxygen molecules passing through the electrical field. Thus excited, the diatomic oxygen is easier to disassociate and become converted to ozone.
Abstract:
A novel system and method for purification and disinfection of water containing contaminates is provided. The system includes an aeration column, a first intermediate tank, a first mechanical filter, an electric discharge device, a second intermediate tank, a second mechanical filter and a sorption filter. The water is firstly aerated by continuous mixing the water with air and ozone-air mixture. The water obtained after the aeration is treated with coagulant materials in a medium of the ozone-air mixture. Further, the water is filtered from coagulated particles. Thereafter, the water is treated by electric discharges in an air medium. The water is then treated again with coagulant materials. Finally, the water is filtered from remaining contaminates.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for generating ozone is provided. An ozone generator comprises a substantially transparent element having ozone-generating means mounted on an inner element area and an outer element area. An enclosure is positioned over the element, and an oxygen-containing gas is directed through the inner element area, creating ozone from a portion of the oxygen-containing gas. The ozone and oxygen-containing gas is then redirected over the outer element area, so that the oxygen-containing gas is at least twice exposed to the ozone-generating means, thereby generating additional ozone.
