Ozone generator

Abstract

An ozone generator comprises an electrode located within a dielectric tube with a ground electrode formed on the outer surface of the tube. The tube and ground electrode are surrounded by a coding jacket to allow the coolant to come into contact with the ground electrode and provide efficient cooling.

1 . An ozone generator comprising an active electrode to be connected to a power supply, a housing encompassing said electrode to define an enclosed chamber through which gas can flow and having a wall formed from a dielectric material, a ground electrode disposed on the opposite side of said wall to said electrode and a coolant contacting said ground electrode to remove heat therefrom.  
     
     
         2 . An ozone generator according to    claim 1    wherein said electrode is located on a dielectric support.  
     
     
         3 . An ozone generator according to    claim 2    wherein said electrode extends about said support.  
     
     
         4 . An ozone generator according to    claim 1    wherein said coolant is contained within a jacket extending over and spaced from said electrode.  
     
     
         5 . An ozone generator according to    claim 4    wherein said housing is tubular.  
     
     
         6 . An ozone generator according to    claim 5    wherein said active electrode is tubular and is supported on a cylindrical rod within said housing.
