Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for reducing concentrations of ozone and nitric acid produced in cooling air flowing through a circulating airflow path of a rotary electric machine, the method including: disposing an ozone decomposition unit containing an ozone decomposition catalyst in the circulating airflow path; and allowing the cooling air to pass through the ozone decomposition unit so as to decompose ozone and to suppress production of nitric acid. According to the present invention, the method and device are capable of reducing the concentrations of ozone and nitric acid produced in the cooling air flowing through the circulating airflow path of the rotary electric machine for a long period of time while preventing pressure loss.
Abstract:
A system including: an ozone generating device including discharge electrodes forming a discharge space; a gas supplying device; a power source device that supplies power to the discharge electrodes; a temperature adjustment device that adjusts temperature of the discharge electrodes; a control unit that controls the ozone generating device; and a detection unit that detects an ozone generation parameter in the ozone generating device. The control unit increases temperature of the discharge electrodes up to a vaporizing temperature of dinitrogen pentoxide by controlling the temperature adjustment device and the gas supplying device or the temperature adjustment device and the power source device, based on the output ozone generation parameter, to thereby switch operation from a normal operation mode to a cleaning operation mode in which surfaces of the discharge electrodes and the discharge space are cleaned up while continuing generation of ozone in the discharge space.

Abstract:
A silent discharge plasma apparatus includes a dielectric member, a pair of electrodes opposed to each other across the dielectric member and an alternating-current source applying an alternating-current voltage between the electrodes and causing a discharge. A gas is supplied to a discharge space, where discharge occurs, and a plasma is produced. At least one of the electrodes includes a conductive power feeding thin film on the dielectric member. When the dielectric member is destroyed and an arc discharge develops between the electrodes, the power feeding thin film is eliminated or oxidized, and the arc discharge is stopped.
