Apparatus for producing ozone with local and remote application

An apparatus for producing ozone for discharge into an interior of an enclosed room comprising:

• a. a housing having a flat lower base for supportive contact with a flat support surface and a removable cover connected around and upwardly extending from a perimeter of said base, said cover and said base defining an enclosed interior volume;
• b. an air inlet formed through said cover;
• an array of parallel, spaced apart ozone producing cells, comprising:
• an outlet and an nozzle outlet for allowing ozone to be discharged from said housing;
• wherein a closure panel is placed over the outlet when ozone is removed from the housing through the nozzle;
• c. an array of parallel, spaced apart ozone producing cells, comprising:
• i. a plurality of elongated dielectric tubular members;
• ii. a like plurality of first non-corrosive electrically conductive tubular shaped for aminous screen members each generally coextensive with and held in position around and against an outer surface of each dielectric tubular member of said plurality of dielectric tubular members;
• iii. a like plurality of second non-corrosive electrically conductive tubular shaped foraminous screen members each generally coextensive with and held in position against an inner surface of each dielectric tubular member, each of said first and second screen members of each said dielectric tubular member aligned endwise one to another;
• iv. two spaced apart non-conductive supported connected atop said base each having a like plurality of evenly spaced apart mounting holes formed therethrough, each sized to snugly supportively receive one end of one said tubular member;
• v. first conductive formable wire means extending between each two adjacent said second screen members whereby all of said second screen members are electrically connected one to another;
• vi. second conductive formable wire means spring biased in position transversely around said array whereby all of said first screen members are electrically connected one to another;
• d. said array of ozone producing cells positioned atop said base having one side thereof facing and adjacent to said air inlet, said outlet being positioned in said cover facing an opposite side of said array of ozone producing cells whereby air drawn into said interior volume through said inlet interacts with said ozone producing cells to produce ozone;
• e. transformer means having an input thereof operably connected to an a.c. power supply and an output of said transformer means operably connected to each of said first and second screen members, a positive (+) terminal of said transformer output being connected to one said second screen member, a negative (-) terminal of said transformer output being connected to one said first screen member;
• f. a fan means connected adjacent said outlet for drawing air through said air inlet into said interior volume to produce ozone by said ozone producing cells and for discharging ozone from said outlet;
• g. electrical control means mounted on said cover for selectively energizing said fan means and said source of a.c. voltage.
