System for controlling production of ozone for an internal combustion engine

A system for using ozone for cleaning of an internal combustion engine, the system comprising:

• a case having a case housing and an inner cavity, the case including:
• a user control panel having a plurality of user controls, the user control panel disposed on the case housing;
• an ozone generator in the inner cavity, the ozone generator including a containment shell having a first and second opening for allowing air to flow therethrough, a first and second concentric cylindrical electrode disposed inside the containment shell and a controllable high voltage source connected between the first and second cylindrical electrode wherein the containment shell permits air to flow therethrough wherein a change from oxygen to ozone occurs in the air flowing through the containment shell;
• a blower having a first blower end for intake of air external to the case and a second blower end connected to the containment shell first opening;
• a safety module including at least one safety sensor connected thereto;
• a control module connected to the user control panel and the safety module, the control module for controlling voltage applied between the first and second concentric cylindrical electrode;
• and
• a tube connecter having a first connector end connected to the containment shell second opening and a second connector end disposed on the case housing;
• and
• an ozone transport tube having a first tube end sealable to the second tube connector end and a second tube end for connection to the internal combustion engine;
• wherein the blower directs the ozone through the tube ozone generator, the tube connector and the ozone transport tube during operation of the internal combustion engine, whereby the ozone reacts with deposits in the internal combustion engine for removal of the deposits.

A method of using ozone for maintaining an internal combustion engine, the method comprising:

• providing a maintenance system comprising:
• a case having a case housing and an inner cavity, the case including:
• a user control panel inside the inner cavity;
• an ozone generator inside the inner cavity;
• a blower inside the inner cavity, the blower having a first blower end for intake of air external to the case and a second blower end connected to the ozone generator;
• and
• a safety module including at least one safety sensor connected thereto;
• a control module connected to the ozone generator and the safety module, the control module for controlling a voltage applied to the ozone generator;
• a tube connecter having a first connector end connected to the ozone generator and a second connector end disposed on the case housing;
• an ozone transport tube having a first tube end sealable to the second tube connector end and a second tube end for connection to the internal combustion engine;
• connecting the second tube end of the ozone transport tube to an air intake of the internal combustion engine;
• ensuring the internal combustion engine is running;
• commencing production of the ozone and directing the ozone through the ozone transport tube during operation of the internal combustion engine;
• allowing the ozone to react with deposits in the internal combustion engine;
• stopping production of the ozone;
• and
• disconnecting the second tube end of the ozone transport tube from the air intake of the internal combustion engine.
