Description

Title: "ENGINEERED OZONE SYSTEM FOR INDOOR AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT".
Field of invention:
This invention relates to air purifier systems. More particularly this invention relates to the indoor air quality improvement system having ozone generators.
Background of Invention:
Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent that can react with long molecules that are characteristic of odor that the human nose can detect, thus neutralizing these long molecules by breaking them up into "shorter" molecules, and the order is "purified".
Ozone is a word that is derived from the Greek word "smell". It is more commonly known in air purification as "Activated Oxygen". Ozone occurs when a discharge, such as Lightning bolt or water fall, then molecularly disassociates a stable molecule (02) and splits them apart leaving two atoms that are unstable, i.e.. (01) oxygen. The three atoms are unstable and now seek to be stable, in order to be stable they connect to surrounding oxygen molecules (01) thus creating ozone (03).
Ozone is used to oxidize many odors in the home and odors such as Cooking Odors, Pet Odors, Garbage Odors, Cigarette Smoke Odors, Mildew Basement Odors, etc.
Comparison with Prior Art:
In the existing system as given in United States Patent 6726885 document wherein apparatus and method for ozone generation and a method for generating ozone by exposing oxygen to high frequency alternating current with high voltage over a dielectric is described. The apparatus comprises a pressure compensation admitting unit joined together by at least two plates of a dielectric material and there between a present electrode on which high frequency alternating current with high voltage is applicable, and two sealed spaces for generation of ozone on opposite sides of the unit, whereby the respective sealed space, on the opposite side of said plate of dielectric material, is delimited by an earthed and cooled electrode, through which oxygen gas or gas rich in oxygen is supplied to the space and ozone is conducted out of the same. By means of this apparatus, oxygen gas or gas rich in oxygen can be conducted under pressure into sealed chambers on opposite sides of the pressure compensation admitting unit. However in our invented system , We are not using any particular feed gas as oxygen where as In our system we are only using the ambient oxygen available in the air flow through ducts to produce ozone. Also, we are using line frequency i.e. 50 Hz, no modulation of frequency in our case. And no pressure compensation unit is required; we are using the system pressure.
In another existing system as given in United States Patent 5417936 document which is related to a plate-type ozone generator having a discharge cell including a box-shaped casing formed by using a dielectric of a quartz containing silicon dioxide having a purity of not less than 99.9%, a discharging gap defined by the interior of the casing, and a flow passage for a material gas defined in the discharging gap by a partition made of a quartz. A material gas inlet section and an ozone outlet section are provided on the discharge cell for communicating with the discharging gap. Each section has a quartz tube and a stainless steel tube joined together by a fused joint made of a covar glass and a covar alloy. The ozone generator does not employ a gasket made of an organic compound or the like, and is capable of stably generating high-concentration high-purity ozone for a long period of time without the risk of leakage.
However, in our invented system, no particular discharge is being used to generate ozone., no quartz containing silicon dioxide is being used in our system we are using ceramic as a dielectric. Also, no discharge gap is defined in our system and there is no gas inlet or outlet sections for ozone are defined. In our system ozone is generated by flow of air in any direction over ceramic ozone plates.
In another existing system as given in United States Patent 5211919 document, a flat plate corona cell for generating ozone with a generally convergent radial gas flow is desribed. The net gas flow direction through the corona gap is from the outer edges of the cell inward towards an exit port in the approximate center of the cell. This eliminates parasitic arcing at the perimeter, greatly increases the life of the perimeter seal, and provides a homogenous gas flow which increases ozone output. The cell design allows both electrodes to be operated at high voltage, therefore reducing the effective kilovolts with respect to ground by half. However in our invented system , though the flat plate is being used in our system but the flow multidirectional there is no convergent radial gas flow. The net gas / air flow will not be 100% through or over the plates. Part of the total air flow; flowing in the HVAC duct will pass over ozone plate to produce low density corona discharge ozone. Also, Irrespective of the flow over ozone plates the generation of ozone remains constant. And Our system does not use any kind of perimeter seal.
In another existing system as given in United States Patent 5,573,730 document related to a method and apparatus for treating airborne residues wherein An ozone generator is disclosed in which ozone production is controlled through corona voltage and airflow. The ozone from the generator converts perchloroethylene vapor in dry cleaning effluents into environmentally acceptable compounds. Ozone generation is controlled in response to the perchloroethylene vapor concentration in the mixture that is discharged from a mixing chamber in the apparatus. Other features include an inflatable retention chamber for allowing the ozone and perchloroethylene reaction to go to completion and improved means for cleaning the glass plates in the ozone generator by sliding the plates out of the generator structure. In this system the method described is particularly for oxidation of perchloroethylene. However, in our invented our system is particularly designed for overall reduction of VOC (volatile organic carbon) in centralized air conditioned system. Also , there is no retention chamber in our apparatus/system. And We are using ceramic plates not glass plates. We are controlling the ozone generation by VOC sensor readings which will be different for different indoor application like viz. Malls, restaurant, bar. For each case VOC & ozone generation will differ. Also we are not allowing the ozone level to cross the OSHA (Occupational safety & health assessment ) limit. The ozone generator will stop generation of ozone once the set point of ozone in sensor is reached & once again will restart once the ozone is depleted by consumption of VOC .

This invention is related to Indoor Air Quality treatement system wherein Very low density ozone is generated by corona discharge on dual side of ceramic plate (dielectric medium) with mesh on both the side of ceramic plate contained in the stainless steel box which is duct mounted in HVAC ducts by applying control voltage & low frequency not exceeding 50 Hz over both sides of ceramic ozone plates for overall reduction of VOC in occupied spaces in indoor air quality. The air flow over the ceramic plates will be horizontal & vertical. So for generation of ozone no extra air preparation is required. Voltage to the ozone plates is varied in accordance with the VOC in occupied space to maintain the VOC at the minimum level. Safety measures for high ozone & VOC sensor cable breakage protection is considered with AHU fan interlock.
The Plate type ozone Generators are provided with the primary aim of achieving reduction in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), hydro carbon gases, and organic odors, in Indoor Environment. They also serve purpose of depleting and inhibiting growth and propagation of microbial organisms and micro flora, commonly found in indoor environments, HVAC ducts, cooling coils and on air filters. VOC reduction is achieved by oxidation of VOC by ozone. Depletion of microbial colonies is achieved by inhibiting their growth and propagation.
