Abstract: A corona generator method and apparatus preferably for generating ozone, employing a plurality of corona generating cells each comprising a pair of parallel spaced-apart electrodes having a fired-on coating of porcelain enamel. The electrodes are connected to an AC voltage source of sufficient voltage to generate a corona discharge, and an oxygen-containing gas is passed between the electrodes to generate ozone. A high concentration ozone is produced as well as a large quantity of ozone, without water cooling, and at voltages of approximately 6,000 volts. An equation setting forth, for the first time, the interrelationships between the various parameters in a corona generator is derived by Applicant. According to the invention, the corona power is maximized by maximizing the expression Epsilon /Td, where epsilon is the dielectric constant of te porcelain enamel coating and Td is the dielectric thickness.

Abstract: An improved corona reactor method and apparatus for subjecting a fluid reactant to a corona discharge, and particularly for generating ozone. The corona reactor includes a housing containing an air-cooled, modular, corona reactor core comprising a plurality of separate, individually removable, air-tight corona reactor cells. Each corona reactor cell includes two, spacedapart, metallic electrodes or shell portions defining an airtight corona discharge chamber therebetween. The exterior surfaces of the electrodes are bare and exposed to ambient; the interior (facing) surfaces are covered with a ceramic dielectric; and the fluid reactant is subjected to the corona discharge within the corona discharge chamber by appropriate inlet and outlet ports. The individual cells are electrically connected in series.

Abstract: A plurality of air-tight corona generating cells of a corona generator are supported in a liquid-tight housing where they are immersed in a dielectric liquid such as transformer oil for preventing arcing between the edges of the two electrodes of each corona generating cell. The dielectric liquid is in heat exchange relationship with the external surface of each electrode and is circulated between a cooler and the housing for cooling the electrodes. A center support disc located between the electrodes of a cell unexpectedly increases the ozone yield.
