Abstract

OZONE GENERATOR

Abstract of the Disclosure An ozone generator having a housing accommodating parallel-mounted ozonizing elements, each consisting of water-cooled in-ner and outer electrodes mounted coaxially with a constant gap through which passes the gas to be treated and in which an electric discharge is initiated. Located between the ozonizing elements along their axes are cooling chambers communicating with the gaps of the adjacent ozonizing elements. The inlet and outlet devices for passing the gas to be treated are so arranged in the housing that the gas passes through the ozonizing ele-ments in a direction across their axes.

Description

therein with a consta~t gap. Said inner elecbrodes are t~bes made of a dielectric material, such as glass, the inner sur~a-ces of said bubes havin~ a metal coati~g conLected to a high--~oltage sour¢e through s~ecial t~rminal devices. The housin4 aleo ha~ a devic0 for delivary and removal o~ the gas to be treated ana inlet and outlet pipe unions supplyins water to cool the outer electrodes. An oxygen-containi~g gas such as air i8 red in an a~ial dir~ction through the annular space between the outer electrodes and the dielectric tubes. ~he high voltage in the annular space gives rise to a silent discharge~ u~der the affect oi which part oi the oxygen is converted i~to ozone (cf. ~RG Pate~t ~o. 1,271,087~ c1.12, ~roup 13~12~ 1966).
~ disadvantage of the known ozone genera~sr i~ its limited input electric power ~hose maximum value is determi~ed by the temperature o~ the ga~ in the annular space~ said temperature `~
depending on the heat transfer between the ga~ and t~e cooli~g liquid.

An object of the present invention is to provide a device for efficient cooling of the gas in order to increase the ozone yield over the same area of the surface of the elec-trodes in the generator and to decrease the energy consumption needed for production of a unit of ozone.

It is expedient that the gas cooling chambers be provided with partitions mounted in parallel to the axes of the ozonizing elements to improve the heat transfer from the gas to the chamber walls.
