Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an ozone apparatus which has as its characteristic feature an annular casing with an ozone element with a transformer on one side and a potentiometer connected in senies with a fixed resistance to the supply voltage on the other side, arranged in such a way that the high voltage can be adjusted on the transformer secondary.
  • the attached drawing shows a diagrammatic example of a machine constructed in accordance with the present invention.
  • 1 denotes a horizontal annular casing, with a concentric bottom 2, fixed by several radial arms 3 to the annular casing 1, whereby a first annular channel is defined between said casing and said base.
  • the bottom 2 is shaped like a vessel and serves to locate the base 4 of an ozone element 5.
  • the base 4 is fixed to the bottom 2 by means of detachable fastenings, e. g. screws, and supports a transformer 8 with a low-voltage winding 6 and a high-voltage winding 7.
  • a glass dome 10, having a cylindrical wall portion and coated inside with a layer of metal 9, covers the transformer 8 and is held in the base 4 by means of a sealing substance or member 11.
  • a wire mesh 12 fits tightly over the cylindrical part of the dome. This arrangement guarantees an eifective protection of the transformer 8 against corrosion by the ozone.
  • the low-voltage winding 6 is connected to two supply leads 13, 14 through a potentiometer 15 (connected across the two supply leads).
  • a fixed resistance 16 is connected in series with the potentiometer.
  • a fuse 17 protects the low voltage circuit.
  • the high-voltage winding 7 has one terminal electrically connected to a split spring ring 18, which is located against the inner wall of the glass dome 10, and another terminal connected through a conductor 19, which extends through the base 4 and round it, to the wire mesh 12.
  • ozone is based on the effect of electrical discharges between the external wall of the glass dome 10 and the wire mesh 12 on the oxygen of the air. It is, however, important that this ozone is removed as quickly as possible by the air which flows towards the points where the discharge takes place, as otherwise a decomposition of the ozone might take place. In the present case a flow of air is induced by putting a rela-' tively high load on the potentiometer 15 and the resistance 16.
  • the apparatus according to the present invention guarantees a satisfactory output of ozone at a small current consumption.
  • An ozone producing apparatus comprising an annular casing, a horizontal supporting base located inteniorly of said casing and arranged substantially concentrically with the latter, radial arm members interconnecting said base, and said casing and retaining the same in spaced relation with respect to one another to provide a first annular channel between said casing and said base, said first channel thereby constituting a first flow path for air from which ozone is to be produced, a sealed glass dome having a cylindrical wall portion and supported on said base, said wall portion being arranged substantially concentriically with said base, a first cylindrical electrode disposed within said dome and substantially concentrically with said cylindrical wall portion thereof, a second cylindrical electrode'surrounding said cylindrical wall portion of said dome and arranged in concentric relation therewith, a transformer disposed on said base and within said dome, said transformer having a low-voltage primary winding and a high-voltage secondary winding, said secondary winding being electrically connected across said first and second electrodes, electric circuit means connected to said primary winding for applying low voltage
  • An apparatus further comprising a potentiometer constituting part of said electric circuit means and connected in series with said resistance element and with said primary winding of said transformer, to thereby facilitate control of potentials applied to said primary winding as well as of the electric current flowing through and heat generated by said resistance element.
  • first electrode comprising a coating of electrically conductive material arranged on the inner surface of said cylindrical wall portion of said dome
  • said second electrode comprising a wire mesh embracing the outer surface of said cylindrical wall portion of said dome.
