PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING OZONE

摘要

The description relates to a process and a device for generating ozone from oxygen-containing gases by silent electric discharge. The device comprises an arrangement with at least one gap (16, 18) through which the gas flows and formed between an electrode (10; 12) and a dielectric (14) which separates the gap (16, 18) from another electrode (12; 10). The gap (16; 18) or at least one of the gaps (16, 18) is filled with an electrically and thermally conductive gas-permeable arrangement which is in electrical and thermal contact with the neighbouring electrode (10, 12), through which the oxygen-containing gas (21) flows and forms a plurality of discharge chambers in which the oxygen-containing gas (21) is exposed to a high field intensity and is converted into ozone. The heat of reaction generated in the gap (16, 18) is taken away to the neighbouring electrode (10, 12) by the thermally conductive gas-permeable arrangement (20, 22).
