[Prior Art] In recent years, due to the need to prevent pollution and preserve the living environment, the effects of sterilization, disinfection, deodorization, and decolorization by physical and chemical means that do not use chemicals have been utilized. As a means for achieving this, ozonizers that utilize the effect of ozone generated by discharge phenomena have come to be used in a wide variety of fields. One such ozonizer is to form an induction electrode on one surface of a ceramic dielectric and a discharge electrode on the other surface, and apply a high frequency high voltage between the two electrodes to separate the discharge electrode and the ceramic dielectric. An ozonizer is known that generates a so-called creeping corona discharge between the two and converts oxygen in an oxygen-containing gas into osine by this discharge. The discharge electrode used for this has conventionally been formed by pattern baking on a dielectric material, for example, by metallizing tungsten.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, according to such conventional technology, the details of the printed electrode pattern or the shape of the peripheral part inevitably lack smoothness and have relatively sharp parts. Since a relatively obtuse angle portion is generated, when a high voltage is applied, the electric field is concentrated on the acute angle portion, and discharge starts from that portion, causing ozone generation.

Therefore, parts other than the acute-angled part do not effectively contribute to the discharge that produces ozone, reducing the overall ozone generation efficiency, and the sharp-angled part is easily damaged and discharged. This will shorten the life of the electrode.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention applies a high frequency high voltage between a discharge electrode and an induction electrode facing each other via an 8-electrode to generate a creeping corona discharge. In an ozonizer that generates ozone, a metal wire such as a tungsten wire having a cross-sectional diameter of 30 μm or more and less than 200 μm is used as the discharge electrode, and is arranged so as to be in contact with the dielectric surface.

[Operation] In this configuration, when a high frequency high voltage is applied between the discharge electrode and the induction electrode, a creeping corona discharge occurs between the dielectric surface and the discharge electrode, and when this occurs in the presence of oxygen gas, ozone is generated. However, since the discharge electrode is a linear metal wire such as tungsten with a uniform radius and is in contact with the dielectric in a state where it completely crosses, for example, a plate-shaped dielectric or an induction electrode, there is a gap between the discharge electrode and the dielectric. The electric field formed is uniform. Therefore, even if the applied voltage is relatively low, a stable and averaged discharge is performed.

Furthermore, even at higher voltages, discharge is averaged without generating streamer current in areas where the electric field is concentrated, so that ozone generation efficiency is improved and damage to the electrodes is prevented. Furthermore, if the discharge electrode is coated with ceramic, spatter caused by discharge is suppressed.
It is possible to apply a higher voltage to increase the amount of ozone generated, and there is no reduction in the amount of ozone generated due to deterioration of the discharge electrode, so the service life is extended and the device can be used for a longer period of time.

In this configuration, when a suitable high frequency high voltage of, for example, a frequency of 2 to 20 KHz and a voltage of 2 to 10 KV is applied between the discharge electrode 2 and the induction electrode 3, a high frequency creeping corona discharge corresponding to the frequency is generated between the discharge electrode 2 and the dielectric Occurs between body surfaces. Therefore, ozone can be generated by supplying oxygen gas to the discharge portion. At that time, as mentioned above, the corona discharge generated is stable and uniform even when the applied voltage is relatively low because the structure of the discharge electrode surface and dielectric surface is uniform, and even when the applied voltage is relatively low, the corona discharge is stable and uniform. is also averaged without producing streamer current. Ozone is generated more efficiently while preventing damage to the discharge electrode 2 than in the past. Furthermore, the discharge chamber 8i

When the amount of ozone generated was measured by varying the thickness between 00 μm and 0.00 μm, the results shown in the graph of FIG. 2 were obtained. According to the results, it can be seen that the amount of ozone generated peaks when the diameter of the discharge electrode 2 is 100 μm, and increases significantly in the range of about 30 to 300 μm.
