JAN STEYNIS, OF NEW YORK, Y., AND HENRI CHAUMAT, OF PARIS, FRANCE.

OZONIZER.

Application led March 6, 1907.

To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that we, JAN STEYNrs, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at New York, N. Y., and HENRI CUAUMAT, a citizen of the Republic of France, residing at Paris, France, haveI invented a new and useful Ozonizer, which is fully set Jforth in the following specification.

The present invention relates to an ozonizer which makes it possible to apply, for feed purposes, cooling by expansion with adjustable external work and adjustable back pressure at the outlet from the ozonizer (process described in -our separate application of same date bearing Serial Number 360,842).

This ozonizer is shown in the accompanying drawing.

Figure 1 shows a general arrangement of the apparatus and a connection diagram of the electric circuit. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the ozonizer proper. Fig. 2a is a vertical section through a part of the ozonizer showing the movable electrodes withdrawn. Fig. 3 is a horizontal.cross-section.

The system taken as a whole (Fig. l) comprises a compressed air motor M fed by means of a pipe c. The motor is diagrammatically shown loaded by means of a series of pulleys and belts and by a weight P. The exhaust takes place at b into the cooling boxes n n and the air enters the ozonizer O at c. The escape of ozonized air takes place at d through one or more vertical pipes, provided with cocks 1* enabling the back pressure to be regulated. These pipes discharge into a collector C.

The ozonizer is provided at g with a clear glass through which the working of thc apparatus is visible. At f and f are the current supply terminals, at h a high pressure fuse, at t a thermometer and at m a pressure gage. At B is arranged the box surrounding the ozone chamber, which box may be fed with the required cooled liquids through pipes 7c and 7c.

A lateral nozzle shown at Zprovided with a cock Z makes it possible, after having isolated a given ozonizer from the general collector, to connect the back of one ozonizer to the front of another, so as to increase the path of the air in the etiluvia, and thus to increase the proportion of ozone for special purposes.

The ozqnizer proper comprises an elongated metallic box (Figs. 2 and 3) of which the two ends are detachable. Round the Specification o Letters Patent.

(Figs. 2 and 2a).

Serial No. 360,841.

central portion of the said box is arranged the box B hereinbefore referred to. The upper wall, in addition to the pressure gage and thermometer also carries two electrodes E, E which are insulated from the metal by thick glass disks. In the interior of thel box is arranged the ozonizer block separated from the wall by two thick glass plates 1,1. The ozonizer block is constituted by a number of metal plates 2 and 2 alternately connected to one and the other electrode. The plates of different polarity are divided by glass plates 3 and a certain 'space of air. The plates of the group 2 are fixed and held by grooved porcelain blocks 4 secured to plates 5. The plates of the group 2 form a movable whole which can be driven more or less into the group 2 of the fixed plates so as to vary the length of the efl'luvia. These plates are guided at three points by other porcelain blocks 4 secured to the plates 5 In Fig. 25L the movable plates are shown completely withdrawn, the distance between the inner ends of the movable plates 2 (marked by the dotted line and the outer ends of the stationary plates 2 being the,l smallest length of the efiiuvia.

The plates are provided with small proj ections `6 by means of which they can engage with the grooves of the porcelain blocks. Owing to this and to the arrangement of porcelain blocks in balile plate order, none of the insulating blocks are situated in the path of the eHuvia, even with its edge.

A diagram of the general arrangement of the electric circuit is shown in Fig. 1 above the apparatus.

The ozonizer 1s fed with current from the y high pressure circuit of a transformer T. One of the ends of the said circuit shows a break or gap at 7. The supply being at a very hi h ressure, this break may be used extinguished by the electromagnetic force developed. This electromagnetic force is of constant direction and sign. ln the event of an accident to the ozonizer' bringing about an increase of the strength of current there also takes place an increase of the strength eflluvia, and means for insulating said metal plates, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The improved ozonizer comprising a The electromagnetic forceA box 4with detachable ends, insulated elec trodes, an ozonizer block composed of two series of metal plates alternately connected to one and the other of said electrodes, one

series of said lates being stationary and the other movable to vary the length of the eflluvia, porcelain blocks arranged in steps out of the path of effluvia to guide the movable plates, and glass plates for insulating the plates of diiferentlpolarity, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof We have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. Y Y Y JAN STEYNIS.
