Ozone generator with enhanced output

摘要

There is disclosed an ozone generator having enhanced ozone generating capabilities. A cryogenic stream of oxygen is irradiated with a high voltage electron beam that converts a portion of the oxygen into ozone. When the oxygen stream is liquid, conversion rates of up to 33% are achieved. Separation of ozone from oxygen is achieved by exploiting physical properties. In one embodiment, a gaseous mixture is at a temperature between 90 K and 161 K. A condenser coil condenses the ozone to a liquid. The ozone may be directed to a reaction chamber containing a surface increasing medium, such as porous inert beads, to remediate air borne biological and organic contaminants.
