APPARATUS FOR GENERATING OZONE AND/OR O1 USING A HIGH ENERGYPLASMA DISCHARGE

摘要

An electro chemical conversion cell that can break down certain gasses to provide ozone and monovalent oxygen from a supplied volume of a suitable O2-containing gas. Th e conversion cell is provided with at least one metal mesh electrode within a generator reacti on chamber, and a power supply which is adapted to supply a high alternating electric current voltage to at least partially break-down O2 in the input gas to yield ozone. A fluid flow passag e extends through the reaction chamber as a generally elongated passage through the reaction cavity. The fluid flow passage extends from an upstream end, where the O2-containing gas is initially supplied into the housing, to a downstream end where treated gas either flows outward ly therefrom under pressure or is evacuated from the housing. In a simplified construction, the fluid flow passage is delineated by a series of electrically insulating plates and/or spacers whic h are used to partition the reaction cavity.
