Pulse train generating circuit for control of an ozone generating means

An electronic control circuit for accurately controlling the rate of generation of ozone gas molecules, for use in conjunction with an ozone generating means, said electronic control circuit comprising:

• a source of electrical power;
• ozone production adjustment means for generating a first signal which is indicative of a target rate of ozone gas molecule production;
• control signal generation means for accepting said first signal from said ozone production adjustment means, and for generating a control signal a predetermined length first time period and comprising a plurality of consecutive enable and disable portions, where the temporal sum of said enable portions within said first time period is representative of said first signal from said ozone production adjustment means;
• pulse generating means;
• pulse train gate means having conductive and non-conductive states, where said conductive state is enabled by said enable portion of said control signal a train of pulses from said pulse generating means is passed by said pulse train gate means, and wherein said pulses in said train of pulses correspond to said enable portions of said control signal within said first time period;
• wherein, in response to said enable portion of said control signal from said control signal generation means, said pulse train gate means passes said train of pulses, and wherein the time period of one cycle of said first and second portions of each of said pulses is a second time period which is shorter than said first time period;
• wherein, in response to said disable portion of said control signal from said control signal generation means, said pulse train gate assumes its non-conductive state;
• wherein said train of pulses that is passed by said pulse train gate means is fed to said ozone generating means so as to cause generation of ozone therewithin during the occurrence of said pulses;
• and
• whereby the amount of ozone generated during said first time period is directly related to the temporal sum of the enable portions of pulses in said train of pulses passed by said pulse train gate means during said first time period, so as to thereby provide accurate control of the amount of ozone gas molecules being generated.
