Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent dew condensation and to improve the durability of an ozone generator by forming a discharge electrode on one surface of a dielectric base plate and disposing an induction electrode provided with a heater on the other surface. CONSTITUTION:The discharge electrode 1 is provided on one surface of the dielectric base plate 2 and the induction electrode 3 provided with the heater 4 is disposed on the other surface. When the dew condensation on the ozone generator is occurred in a refrigerator, etc., the discharge electrode 7 is turned off by a controller 9 and only the heater power source 8 is put in operation. These states are kept for several seconds - several minutes after the door is closed, and then only the discharge electrode 7 is put in operation. The dew condensation is surely prevented because the induction electrode 3 is heated in a required state by the surface heater 4. Moreover, the durability of the generator is improved due to the prevention of dew condensation.

[Prior art] As an ozonizer electrode, a high AC voltage is applied between the electrodes with a dielectric material in between to cause a discharge between the electrodes, and this discharge energy is used to synthesize ozone from the raw material oxygen. things are the mainstream. In order to increase ozone generation efficiency, it is important to make the electrode shape, distance between electrodes, dielectric thickness, applied voltage value and frequency appropriate, etc.; It is also known that controlling the temperature is an important factor. In particular, when the temperature of the raw material gas is high, it is difficult for discharge to occur, and in the case of raw material gas or air, it is known that NO is generated or combined with water vapor to generate nitric acid, which accelerates the deterioration of the elements surrounding the electrode part. There is.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention 1] As mentioned above, it is generally preferable to dehumidify the raw material gas supplied to the ozone generator. Because air is used as raw material, when the refrigerator door is opened and outside air enters, the humidity immediately reaches 100% and condensation is unavoidable. When condensation occurs on the discharge electrode of an ozone generator, normal discharge cannot be obtained until the condensation disappears, and almost no ozone is generated. Furthermore, since a high voltage is applied, there is a concern that troubles such as abnormal leakage may occur. Current commercially available products prevent problems by not discharging to generate ozone when the door is open. It is highly likely that the condensation will not disappear and conditions that are unfavorable for ozone generation will continue.
