Abstract:
The present invention discloses an ozone generator with reduced NOx comprising an air stream generating means; a drying means; an electrical field generating unit; a high-voltage generating means; and a cooling means. The flow velocity of the air stream in the ozone generating area can be increased by means of the air stream generating means up to 700 s.c.c.m, The temperature in the ozone generating area can be lowered by means of the cooling system to lower than 10null C. By means of the above, the amount of NOx produced by the disclosed ozone generator can be reduced substantially.
Abstract:
A corona-type, air-cooled ozone generator has a cluster of ganged cylindrical generator units (100) packed into a cylindrical pipe (10). Each unit has an inner electrode (101), a dielectric tube around the inner electrode (103), and a concentric outer electrode (102 with side wall openings (112). The corona air gap is between the dielectric and the outer electrode. The inner electrode and dielectric tube are held in each respective outer electrode with silicone end pieces (152, 151). Voltage is put on the inner electrodes while air is blown through the pipe from a blower (30); the air passes through the gaps between the units' ends and circulates through side wall openings, passing over the dielectric tubes and cooling them. Because the dielectric tubes are small, for example 0.25 inches across, they lose heat quickly and do not reach a high temperature. The generator is compact.
Abstract:
A generator cell includes a high voltage assembly having a high voltage electrode, a low voltage assembly having a low voltage electrode, a barrier dielectric between the electrodes defining a discharge region for producing a reactive gas, and a welded seal joining the assemblies to create a permanently sealed chamber between the assemblies including the discharge region. The generator cell may have a gap in the discharge region of 0.005 inch or less. The cells may be modularly combined to form a reactive gas generator system.
Abstract:
The apparatus for producing a desired quantity of ozone uses a flow of air in which a corona discharge utilizes high voltage to produce sparks. This apparatus includes a source of high voltage and the spark is produced when metal or conducting edge portions of the blades are moved in way of spaced conductors carried in a tubular confine. The blades are carried as an assembly which may be rotated by a flow of air. The flow of air and the turning of the assembly maintains the blades in a cooled condition so that unwanted burning of the edges of the blades does not occur. The corona discharged ozone may be used in swimming pools, or as an air purifier or dust eliminator. The ozone, when used in a closed building, will utilize a timer so an excess of ozone is not produced. The rotating of the bladed member is preferably by the flow of air, said volume of air flow regulates the speed of rotation.
