Abstract
An ozone generator includes a high-voltage electrode and at least one counter electrode, which define an interstice in which at least one dielectric is arranged and through which a gas flows in the flow direction, the high-voltage electrode and the at least one counter electrode being provided with a connection for an electrical voltage supply to generate silent discharges, and a wire fabric being arranged in the gas flow and its density decreasing in the flow direction.
Claims15
An ozone generator comprising:
- a high-voltage electrode;
- at least one counter electrode,
- an interstice defined between the high-voltage electrode and the at least one counter electrode and configured to permit gas flow in a flow direction,
- at least one dielectric disposed in the interstice,
- a connection for an electrical voltage supply to the high-voltage electrode and the at least one counter electrode for generating silent discharges,
- wherein a wire fabric, disposed in the gas flow, has a density that decreases in the flow direction.
A wire fabric for use in a gas flow of an ozone generator, wherein a density of the fabric in the gas flow decreases in a flow direction determined by the gas flow.
An electrode arrangement comprising:
- a central electrically non-conducting rod,
- a fabric surrounding the central electrically non-conducting rod, and
- a dielectric tube surrounding the fabric, that can be impinged upon by a gas flow through the fabric,
- wherein a density of the fabric in the gas flow decreases in a flow direction determined by the gas flow.
