Abstract
The apparatus described is intended for the treatment of small volumes of room air for the removal of odors. Since the ozone output of the apparatus is calibrated in terms of the readily measured corona current, this type of apparatus can be intelligently applied to odor control problems. If the volume to be treated is known, then the output in mg/hr necessary to produce ozone backgrounds of 0.04 ppm and below can be readily computed. Such concentrations are comparable to the natural background and generally acceptable for continuous human occupation.
Claims11
An electrode structure for an ozone generator comprising an active electrode and a counter electrode, said electrodes each having terminal portions for connection to a high voltage DC source, said electrodes being mounted in spaced apart relation and insulated from one another, said active electrode having a tip portion with a blunt end face disposes at a predetermined distance from said counter electrode, the shape of said end face and its distance from said counter electrode being selected so that for a corona current of 100 .mu.A the local current density at the tip is about 5.times.10.sup.-2 A/cm.sup.2.
