Abstract
A portable compact ozone generator for producing a consistent source of ozone portably that eliminates nitrous oxides and nitric acid. The device includes a small air compressor that provides compressed ambient air to a pair of molecular sieves that eliminate humidity and concentrates oxygen to provide a source of dry oxygen to the ozone generator.
Claims2
A portable, compact ozone generation system comprising:
- an air compressor powered by an electric motor, said compressor having an air intake including an intake filter and a resonator, and an air outlet;
- said air outlet communicating with a means for cooling compressed air;
- a pair of molecular sieve vessels for removing moisture and nitrogen from compressed air and expelling oxygen, each of said vessels having an air inlet an air outlet and a purge outlet, said vessel inlets in parallel fluid communication with said means for cooling;
- a bidirectional fixed orifice device in fluid communication with each of said vessel air outlets;
- means for controlling compressed air flow through said vessels such that said vessels are cycled on-line and off-line in alternating sequence, thereby allowing compressed air to flow through the on-line vessel inlet wherein moisture and nitrogen are removed from said air such that oxygen flows out of the on-line vessel outlet whereafter a portion of said oxygen flows through said fixed orifice, through the off-line vessel outlet and out of the off-line vessel purge outlet thereby purging accumulated water and nitrogen from the off-line vessel;
- an oxygen tank having a tank inlet in fluid communication with each of said vessel outlets for receiving oxygen from an on-line vessel, said tank having a tank outlet;
- an ozone generator in fluid communication with said tank outlet, said ozone generator incorporating a pressure relieving device, and a flow area electrically connected to a 5,000 volt electric transformer for producing an alternating current field for generating ozone from oxygen;
- and
- a portable cabinet housing said compact ozone generation system.
