Abstract
The invention features an ozone generating system including: a housing enclosing a chamber and a device for dissociating oxygen molecules into oxygen atoms within the chamber; an inlet for introducing oxygen molecules into the chamber; a conduit connected to the housing and providing a sealed path from the chamber to an outlet for releasing ozone generated in the system; and a pump operative to draw gases from the chamber into a region of the conduit and generate a pressure in the region that is greater than the pressure in the chamber.
Claims20
An ozone generating system comprising:
- a housing enclosing a pair of electrodes separated by a dielectric material, the dielectric material and one of the electrodes spaced from one another to define a chamber, wherein the electrodes when energized by a power source dissociate oxygen molecules into oxygen atoms within the chamber;
- an inlet for introducing oxygen molecules into the chamber;
- a conduit connected to the housing and providing a sealed path from the chamber to an outlet for releasing ozone generated in the system;
- and
- a pump, a first valve at the inlet, a second valve between the housing and the conduit, and a third valve at the outlet for generating a pressure in the chamber that is less than that in the conduit.
