Abstract
A process for producing ozone and an apparatus for ozone generation are disclosed. In an embodiment, a process for producing ozone includes applying an input voltage to an input area of a piezoelectric transformer so that a high voltage is generated in an output area of the piezoelectric transformer, surrounding the piezoelectric transformer with an oxygenic process gas so that the ozone is formed from the process gas by the high voltage generated in the output area, measuring an amount of the generated ozone using a sensor and adapting the input voltage applied to the piezoelectric transformer on a basis of the measured amount of the generated ozone in order to set an ozone generation rate.
