A ring for feeding oxygen, provided for each group of lamps, has a pressure reducing agent and a Rotameter. The Rotameter works at different pressures and an ozone collection ring is provided. An anti-return system is provided with a contact column.

Description

Apparatus for the production of ozone.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for the production of ozone through the use of different groups of lamps that are inside a cooling body, each of these groups of lamps working at different pressures

Background of the invention

Ozone is one of the most potent oxidants They are known and commercially produced from oxygen. These characteristics as an oxidizer make it a very effective agent. interesting for water disinfection and odor elimination in different industrial processes. Given the low stability of the ozone, it is usually necessary to generate ozone in the same place in which it will be used. For all this, diverse are known Ozone generators in the state of the art. The patent US6287431 describes a constant pressure ozone generator that It comprises a series of electrolytic cells. US6372096 refers to a system for pressure regulation in Different ozone generation lamps.

Description of the invention

The systems described above work in such a way that the ozone generation lamps work from jointly and at the same pressure, thus generating a lower amount of ozone, which results in yields low. That is why a new system is necessary in which the lamps work at different pressures and individually, and this is achieved, incorporating the feeding rings of oxygen, a pressure reducer and rotameters.

According to an essential aspect, this invention refers to an apparatus for the production of ozone that includes at least one group of lamps, each of said groups of lamps comprising:

to)

to the minus an ozone generation lamp (2);

b)

a coolant bath (1) where said submerged ozone generation lamps (2);

C)

a oxygen feed ring (3) for each group of lamps;

d)

a ozone collection ring (4); Y

and)

to the minus a contact column to which a system of non-return (7);

characterized in that each ring of supply (3) is equipped with a pressure reducer (5) and a rotameter (6) working each group of pressurized lamps differently individual.

Optionally, said generation lamps of ozone (2) comprise a metal cylinder (14) that covers a glass cylinder (8), preferably pyrex, closed form spherical at one end, which houses another inside cylinder (9) of slightly smaller diameter with both ends closed (said cylinder can be hollow or low density), of such that between said glass cylinder (8) and said cylinder (9) there is a space which houses a polyelectrolyte (10) that performs  internal electrode functions connected to a generator; saying end of the glass cylinder (8) sealed by a press-bast (11) through which it penetrates the  inside said glass cylinder (8) and said cylinder (9) a power cable

According to a preferred embodiment according to the present invention, said power cable comprises a wire Copper coated by a plastic insulator, in turn covered by a plastic screen, all covered by A plastic case. Preferably, said metal cylinder It comprises stainless steel.

All the features and advantages exposed, as well as others of the invention, may be better understood with the following description of an embodiment example, made with the help of the attached drawings in which:

Figure 1 shows a schematic of the apparatus ozone generator according to the present invention; Y

Figure 2 shows a detail of a lamp of ozone generation (2).

Example 1

The device consists of four groups of lamps each of which is formed by a ring of oxygen inlet (3) that distributes oxygen to 16 lamps ozone generation (2) all of them located in parallel of others and submerged in a water bath (1) that is maintained at 13-14 ° C. These lamps are also connected to a 15,000V generator (13) consisting of a transformer single phase powered by 50 cycles alternating current. The device  It is equipped with an ozone outlet ring (4), which collects the ozone and leads it to the contact column (7).

Each of these ozone generation lamps (2) comprises a stainless steel tube (14) inside which is an ultraviolet effluvium in which a teflon tube is submerged, which houses an outer pyrex glass cylinder (8 ) which in turn houses an inner glass cylinder (9), the space between the outer and inner glasses being occupied by a liquid electrode (10); and said inner glass housing a power cable, said lamps being equipped with an oxygen inlet (15) and an ozone outlet
(16).

Claims (4)
