Definitions
- This invention concerns an ozone generator.
- the invention concerns an improved ozone generator of the type which employs ultra-violet light irradiation of air.
- the first employs an "ozinator discharge", and the second, safer method, employs ultra-violet irradiation of the air.
- the "ozinator discharge” method involves applying a high voltage alternating current between two closely spaced parallel plate electrodes separated by a layer of insulation such as glass and an air space.
- the air space is filled with a diffused purple glow called an "ozinator discharge” if the electrode gap is not more than 2 mm to 3 mm.
- a high current flows and the formation of ozone is directly proportional to the power dissipated in the discharge at a given temperature. 85% to 95% of the electrical energy applied is dissipated as heat and the amount of power which can be applied is severely limited by cooling arrangements. Efficiency is adversely affected by moisture in the supplied air. Concentric tubular electrodes are preferred and corona or brush discharge is avoided as an inefficient way of generating ozone since, at the short air gaps involved, high voltages arcing would occur.
- Ozone is also manufactured photochemically by the action of ultra-violet light of wavelengths shorter than about 2200 Angstrom.
- Ultra-violet emitting fluorescent lamps are manufactured for this purpose, but although these lamps may nominally be rated to produce 30 grams of ozone per hour, it has been found impossible in practice to obtain more than about 6 grams per hour due to the inefficient operation of the lamp.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an ozone generator which avoids or at least ameliorates disadvantages of the prior art.
- the present invention consists in an ozone generator comprising an ultra-violet lamp; means to direct a flow of an oxygen-containing gas through a zone at which the gas is exposed to ultraviolet radiation emitted from the lamp; and means to pass the gas through a high voltage low current electric field prior to or during exposure to the ultra-violet radiation.
- the oxygen-containing gas may, for example, be air or oxygen.
- the electric field is desirably applied between widely spaced apart (for example 1 metre apart) electrodes under conditions such that substantially no ozone is generated from the electric field alone when the lamp is not energized.
- a plurality of sharpened rod electrodes is positioned at each end of a tube housing an elongate ultra-violet lamp.
- the plurality of electrodes at one tube end are of opposite polarity to the plurality of electrodes at the other tube end and are spaced apart by from 20 cm to 1 metre or more in distance.
- the invention consists in apparatus according to the first aspect wherein at least one magnet is associated with the lamp so that ionized particles within the lamp are influenced by a magnetic field to congregate in one or more localized regions whereby to concentrate the ultra-violet radiation emanating from the lamp in the zone through which the gas flows.
- magnets are used in conjunction with the high voltage low current electrical field and ultra-violet lamp.
- the production efficiency is especially increased when at least two magnets are used with like poles facing each other.
- the magnets are electro-magnets and are energized by a pulsating or alternating current. It is believed that the magnets influence ionized particles in the lamp so as to concentrate ultra-violet radiation and thereby allow a more intense irradiation of the air.
- Ozone generator 1 comprises a commercially available elongate quartz tube ultra-violet lamp 2 intended for ozone production.
- the lamp in the presently described embodiment is a mercury vapour quartz tube of approximately 15 mm diameter and 850 mm length producing ultra-violet radiation of about 900 - 950 nanometres.
- Lamp 2 is mounted within a perspex tube 3 by means of two cross-shaped mounting brackets 4, fixed within tube 3 by means of self-tapping screws (not shown).
- tube 3 has a wall thickness of 4 mm, a length of 1 metre and an internal diameter of 100 mm.
- an insulated end cap 5 having a boss 6 and flange 7 and which carries a circular array of electrodes 8 electrically connected to a common terminal 20.
- each boss 6 provides a seal with tube 3 and electrodes 8, 9 are then disposed within tube 3 concentrically with respect to the axis of lamp 2 at respective tube ends.
- End caps 5 also provide sealed entry for electrical connections (not illustrated) whereby the lamp may be energized, and whereby electromagnets if used may be energized, from an external power supply.
- electrodes 8, 9 are, for example, 2% thoriated tungsten rods 1.2 mm in diameter sharpened to a point and of the kind used for striking an arc in TIG welding apparatus.
- a transformer of a kind used to energize neon signs and having a 240 volt primary winding energized from 60 cycle mains and having a 15,000 volt centre tapped secondary winding is used to provide an alternating 60 cycle low current high voltage field between electrodes 8, 9 at opposite ends of tube 3.
- the centre tap of the transformer is earthed, one side of the secondary winding being connected via terminal 20 to electrodes 8, the other side of the secondary winding being connected via terminal 21 to electrodes 9.
- the apparatus is further provided, optionally, with magnets 14, 15 which are positioned around portions of lamp 2 adjacent either end.
- Magnets 14 15 may be permanent magnets or electromagnets but desirably are pulsed electromagnets. It has been found that a significant improvement in production rate is obtained when at least two magnets are used and these are disposed with like polarity poles facing each other as illustrated in Figure 1. The optimum pulse frequency may be determined by simple experiment.
- Adjacent each end 10, 11 of tube 3 is a plurality of circumferentially arranged air inlet orifices 12, which may be round, slotted, or any other convenient shape. Intermediate tube ends 10, 11 and preferably approximately equidistant from each tube end, an outlet 13 allows the ozone enriched air to exit the apparatus.
- the internal diameter of magnets 14, 15, is made slightly larger than the external diameter of lamp 2 so that an air passage 16 is created between the lamp and the magnet.
- the exterior diameter of magnets 14, 15 is made substantially equal to the interior diameter of tube 3 so that no air can pass over the outside of the magnets.
- the ultra-violet tube is energized while air is introduced or drawn into the interior of tube 3 via inlet orifices 12.
- the high voltage field in the vicinity of electrodes 8, 9 is believed to sensitize or predispose the inflowing air to formation of ozone by ultra-violet irradiation.
- magnets 14, 15 appear to condense the plasma within lamp 2 into those parts of the lamp surrounded by the magnets. Pressurized air passing through air gaps 16 is thereby irradiated with high intensity ultra-violet radiation and ozone is produced in that air very efficiently.
- ozone concentration was measured at outlet 13 by means of a KOMYO KITICHAWA ozone detector.
- the apparatus was first operated using the ultra-violet lamp 2 alone and without application of the high voltage field between electrodes 8, 9. Magnets 15 were not energized. The concentration of ozone in the exit gas was measured at 6 ppm. Test 2
- the apparatus was operated with the high voltage field applied between electrodes 8, 9 and without energizing the ultra-violet lamp 2, and without energizing the magnets 1, 5. No ozone was detected in the exit gas. Test 3
- the apparatus was operated with magnets 15 alone and without energizing lamp 2 or applying high voltage between electrodes 8, 9. No ozone was detected in the exit gas. Test 4
- the apparatus was operated with a high voltage applied between electrodes 8, 9 with magnets 15 energized and with lamp 2 off. No ozone was detected in the exit gas. Test 5
- the apparatus was operated with lamp 2 and with a high voltage applied between electrodes 8, 9. Magnets 15 were not energized.
- the ozone concentration in the exit air was 64 ppm. Test 6
- the apparatus was operated with lamp 2 on and with magnets 15 energized but without a voltage difference between electrodes 8, 9.
- the ozone concentration in the exit gas was 20 ppm.
- the apparatus was operated with lamp 2 on, a high voltage applied between electrodes 8, 9 and with magnets 15 energized. Under these circumstances the ozone concentration in the exit gas was 80 ppm.
- Tests 5, 6, 7 in accordance with the invention thus produce superior results to control tests 1, 2, 3 and 4.
- Tube 3 may be of material other than perspex and in fact stainless steel is preferred because of its reflective nature. If stainless steel is used care must be taken to provide proper insulation and isolation of parts.
- the ozone from the generator is used for water treatment.
- the generator of Figure 1 is enclosed in a stainless steel housing provided with an air intake fan and filters to exclude dust whereby atmospheric air is supplied to the inlet orifices 12 at a positive pressure.
- Ozone bearing air is conducted by a stainless steel pipe from outlet 13 to an absorption unit outside the stainless steel housing wherein the ozone is absorbed in water to be treated.
- Water decontamination is conveniently carried out in a water sluice unit into which contaminated water is sprayed and ozone pumped.
- Slanted sluice-screens are provided one above the other within the unit to ensure the flow of water over a large surface area while it is in contact with the ozone-enriched air.
- a sump collects debris swept into the chamber with the contaminated water.
- the decontaminated water escapes through a drain in the side of the chamber near the bottom, and a filter on the water outlet ensures that any debris entrained in the water stream is deflected back into the sump.
- the present invention provides a simple, safe and efficient means of generating ozone.
