Abstract:
An air ionizer for installation in the air intake path of an internal combustion engine, to introduce ozone and other oxidizing agents into the engine with acceptable levels of air flow restriction and at a sufficient concentration level to substantially improve combustion within the engine. A glass tube is filled with an inert gas and has an inner electrode extending a short distance into an end of the tube. A foraminous copper outer electrode substantially surrounds the glass tube and is slightly spaced apart from it. A high voltage is applied between the inner and outer electrodes, so that when air flows past the tube, ozone and other oxidizing agents are generated between the outer surface of the tube and the outer electrode, and escape into the air stream through the holes in the outer electrode.
Abstract:
An ozone generating apparatus comprising a plurality of ozone generating tubes affixed to said apparatus by threaded connectors for easy disassembly.
Abstract:
An ozone generator of simplified construction comprising a tubular first metallic electrode surrounded by a concentric tubular dielectric member having on its outer surface a second metallic electrode, the dielectric member being longer than the first electrode, and identical end members for slidably receiving and mounting the first electrode and the dielectric member to form an ozone generator, whereby compressive forces are borne by the first metallic electrode.
Abstract:
A concentric-tube type ozone generator wherein the lower end portion of the interior of the tube contains a supply of oil which contacts the inner side of the inner tube wall above the inner electrode to prevent the flow of creep currents between the inner and outer electrodes. A second supply of oil can be confined in the upper end portion of the inner tube wall above the inner electrode. The inner electrode may consist of a metallic foil which is biased against the inner side of the inner tube wall by a helical spring. The outer electrode may constitute a helically convoluted metallic wire. Two or more tubes can be mounted above each other with the outlet at the lower end of the upper tube in communication with the inlet at the upper end of the lower tube.
Abstract:
The generator incorporates plural tubular outer electrodes retained within a cylindrical pipe housing. The inner electrode is a metal strip with a helical twist. It is spaced from the outer electrode by a cylindrical dielectric. Circular plates are utilized for supporting and spacing the electrode tubes, and for manifolding gases to the electrode and making electrical contact with the inner electrodes. The circular plates also act as terminals for electrically connecting the electrodes across the source of high voltage.
Abstract:
An ozone generator module of the electirc discharge field type is provided having at least one cell comprising an assembly of three concentric tubular members, the inner and outer tubular members being electrodes separated by a tubular dielectric member spaced from one of the electrodes a distance sufficient to define a high density electric discharge zone between them, the cell or cells being disposed within a liquid container. Substantially optimum conditions for the production of ozone are provided by making the cross sectional dimension of the field uniform throughout to within a very small range of tolerance and by controlling the temperature of the electrodes by cooling them with liquid coolants one of which is a dielectric liquid, and limiting the density of the field by regulating the voltage across the field and the frequency employed.
Abstract:
Tubular ozonizer substantially comprising an oxygen chamber, an ozone chamber, a discharge chamber and a coolant container surrounding the discharge chamber bounded by two metal electrodes, which are concentrically telescoped one into the other, have an open upper end and a closed lower end, and have an associated dielectrical tube arranged therebetween so as to leave two discharge spaces. The partition plate between the ozone chamber and oxygen chamber is formed with a bore into which the dielectrical tube is telescoped so as to be radially spaced therefrom, and a packing ring is provided in the annular gap left between the dielectrical tube and the wall of the bore in the partition wall, the packing ring having a centering ring mounted thereon to provide support for the upper flanged edge of the tensionally held, inner electrode.
Abstract:
APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING ALLOTROPIC OXYGEN OR OZONE INCLUDING A TUBE HAVING A GASEOUS FILLING WHICH WHEN SUBJECTED TO HIGH VOLTAGE IN THE TUBE IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A RADIATION OF ENERGY THROUGH THE TUBE.AN ENCIRCLING PERFORATED GRID IS PROVIDED ON THE TUBE AND ENERGY RADIATED FROM THE TUBE SETS UPON AN INDUCTANCE WITH THE GRID TO PRODUCE ALLOTRPIC OXYGEN. AN ELECTRODE EXTENDS SUBSTANTIALLY THE FULL LENGTH OF THE TUBE WHEREBY THE RADIATION OF ENERGY OCCURS THROUGHOUT SUBSTANTIALLY THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE TUBE. A PLURALITY OF THE TUBES ARE MOUNTED IN A SUPPORT HOUSING FOR MULTIPLE OUTPUT. THE HOUSING HAS A HORIZONTAL SUPPORT WALL FOR THE TUBES PROVIDING EASY ATTACHMENT AND DETACHMENT THEREOF. THE TUBES ARE ENCLOSED WITHIN THE HOUSING AND THE INLET FOR AIR FORCED THERETHROUGH IS FILTER TO MAINTAIN THE TUBES IN A SUBSTANTIALLY DUST FREE ENCLOSURE.
