Abstract
An ozone generating cell includes a corona discharge chamber with a curved side wall. The cell includes a high-voltage electrode, a ground electrode, and a dielectric material positioned between the high-voltage electrode and the ground electrode. The cell includes a gas channel formed between the dielectric material and the ground electrode. The channel has a first end in fluid communication with a gas opening in the dielectric material, which is in fluid communication with a gas port. The channel has a second end in fluid communication with another gas port. The channel further includes multiple concentric segments between the first and second ends of the channel.
