Abstract
An ozonizer which comprises a flat hollow metal grounded electrode and a discharge electrode plate spaced apart therefrom by a discharge space. The discharge electrode plate includes a flat hollow dielectric member, a high voltage electrode formed on the inner surface of the dielectric member, a spacer material provided within and held in a clamped state by the dielectric member, a lead conductor provided within and held in a clamped state by the spacer material and a connector connecting the lead conductor and high voltage electrode.
Claims19
An ozonizer in which a high voltage electrode and a grounded electrode are disposed with an interposed dielectric member, comprising:
- (a) a grounded electrode essentially consisting of a flat hollow metal tube;
- (b) a flat hollow dielectric member held inside said grounded electrode and spaced apart therefrom by a discharge space;
- (c) a high voltage electrode formed on the inner surface of said dielectric member;
- (d) a spacer material provided within and held in a clamped state by said dielectric member carrying said high voltage electrode, said spacer material having a sufficient thickness to ensure that the opposite edges of said high voltage electrode have a curved surface;
- (e) a lead conductor inserted in said spacer material and serving to pass current to said high voltage electrode;
- and
- (f) a connecting means consisting of a conductor connecting said lead conductor and said high voltage electrode.
A discharge electrode plate for an ozonizer which has a high voltage electrode formed on the inner surface of a dielectric member and a lead conductor for passing current to said high voltage electrode, comprising:
- (a) a flat hollow dielectric member provided on the inner surface thereof with said high voltage electrode;
- (b) a spacer material provided within and held in a clamped state by said dielectric member and having a sufficient thickness to ensure that the opposite edges of said high voltage electrode have a curved surface, the lead conductor being provided within and held in a clamped state by said spacer material;
- and
- (c) a connecting means consisting of a conductor connecting said lead conductor and said high voltage electrode.
A method of manufacturing a discharge electrode plate for an ozonizer, which comprises a dielectric member provided on the inner surface thereof with a high voltage electrode and a lead conductor for passing current to said high voltage electrode, said method comprising:
- (a) a step of forming said high voltage electrode on the inner surface of a tubular dielectric member;
- (b) a step of inserting a spacer material into said tubular dielectric material;
- (c) a step of inserting a lead conductor into said spacer material such that said lead conductor does not contact said high voltage electrode;
- (d) a step of connecting said lead electrode and said high voltage electrode with a connecting means;
- and
- (e) a step of flattening the resultant assembly including said tubular dielectric member under a heating condition.
