Abstract

An improved ozone generator for small portable systems formed in the shape of a replacable module. The high voltage electrode in the center of the generator is of a boxlike construction with one end open towards the generator outlet port and with the sides made from perforated stainless steel in order to supply multiple outlets for the formed ozone from the corona discharge gap, which will reduce the amount of dissociation of ozone and the amount of nitric acids formed. The high voltage electrode is suspended in the center of the generator by means of 4 ceramic spacers. The potential area of surface contamination caused by impurities in the feed gas and leading to generator failure is therefore limited to the said spacers. The generator has removable thermal pads that are used in order to retain the heat in applications where the generator produces small amounts of ozone, otherwise they are removed to allow for air cooling. The whole generator assembly is held together with two U-shaped spring clips that can be removed without the use of tools. This makes the cleaning process a fast and efficient operation.
