A Study on Characteristic of Ceramic Tube for Ozone Generation

오존발생용 세라믹 방전관 특성에 관한 연구

A novel ozonizer has been developed using a high-frequency surface discharge and a high purity alumina ceramic as its dielectric component. A thin ceramic layer, cylindrical in form, is adhered by a film-like induction electrode. An ac exciting voltage of frequency to 0.6 kHz from 1.0 kHz and $6{\sim}9kV$ peak-to-peak is applied between the electrodes to produce a stable high-frequency silent discharge for generation of ozone. A substantial reduction of the exciting voltage is also enabled by using a thin alumina ceramic layer. As a result, the ozonizer can easily produce ozone concentration($128g/m^2$ for oxygen) and power efficiency(360g/kWh for oxygen) without using a special enrichment means.
