Abstract

PURPOSE: To drastically decrease the pipeline resistance of gaseous raw materials and to suppress the degradation in ozone forming efficiency by using a streamer electric discharge capable of increasing the gap between electrodes without inserting a dielectric substance between the electrodes. CONSTITUTION: The ozone forming device by an electric discharge system is provided with single or plural stages of the comb-shaped electrodes 3 installed with metallic needles at prescribed intervals across insulator spacers 4. The comb-shaped electrodes 3 are so formed that the plasma 9 by the nearly planar streamer discharge is generated perpendicularly to the gaseous raw material flow passage between these electrodes and a metallic flat plate electrode 3 and that the oxygen molecules are surely ionized by electron bombardment. The dielectric substance is not inserted between the comb-shaped electrodes 3 impressed with DC voltage and the grounded flat plate electrode 2.

In the above-mentioned conventional ozone generation method, it was necessary to set the discharge interval to about 1 to 2 mm, so that there was a drawback that the conduit resistance of the raw material gas increased.
Further, in order to increase the amount of ozone generated, it is necessary to increase the discharge area, but in this case, non-uniform discharge may be formed temporally and locally. Furthermore, since a dielectric is used, there is a problem that dielectric loss due to AC voltage or high frequency voltage occurs, and the gas temperature increases with increasing frequency,
It has a drawback that it destroys the generated ozone. The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and by using a streamer discharge capable of increasing a gap between electrodes, a conduit resistance of a raw material gas is significantly reduced and a decrease in ozone generation efficiency is suppressed. It is intended to provide an ozone generator capable of performing the above.

With the comb-shaped electrode composed of a plurality of needle electrodes, a streamer discharge is generated from the tip of each needle perpendicular to the gas flow surface, so that a substantially uniform planar plasma can be generated in the gas flow cross section. Further, the insulating spacers sandwiching the comb-shaped electrodes having a plurality of needles between the comb-shaped electrodes when a plurality of comb-shaped electrodes are installed in the gas flow direction have a function of emphasizing the unequal electric field near the needle electrodes. On the other hand, the streamer discharge generated from the tip of each needle toward the flat plate electrode spreads as it approaches the flat plate electrode, so that planar plasma can be generated without discharge from some needles.

The comb-shaped electrodes 3 are separated from each other by a predetermined distance by the insulating spacers 4, and each of the comb-shaped electrodes 3 is brought into contact with the high-voltage flat plate electrode 5 so that a high voltage can be applied. Further, in order to ensure that each comb-shaped electrode 3 is brought into contact with the high-voltage flat plate electrode 5, the metal foil 6 is folded into an L-shape and sandwiched to complete conduction. The plate electrode 2 is grounded via the ammeter 7. On the other hand, a positive or negative voltage of up to several kv is applied to the high voltage flat plate electrode 5 by the DC high voltage power source 8. Thereby, the comb-shaped electrode 3

As described above, according to the present invention, in order to increase the discharge interval, the conventional silent discharge method is modified, and the streamer discharge capable of increasing the gap between the electrodes is used.
Further, in order to generate streamer discharge perpendicularly to the raw material gas flow channel and surely dissociate oxygen molecules by electron collision, a plurality of needle electrodes are brought close to each other to form a row of electrodes, that is, comb-shaped electrodes 3. The electrode of the other method was the metal plate electrode 2. The comb electrodes 3 are arranged at a predetermined interval with the insulator spacers 4 sandwiched in the gas flow direction. Further, the dielectric was not inserted between the electrodes, and the electric discharge was made between the metal flat plate and the metal needle. The voltage applied to the metal needle was not a direct current or a high frequency but a direct current voltage.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, between the comb-shaped electrode using the metal needle and the plate electrode,
Since it can be set up to 30 mm, the conduit resistance of the raw material gas, which is a problem in the conventional method, can be significantly reduced.
Further, since the streamer discharge is stably generated at each needle electrode, it is possible to suppress the decrease in ozone generation efficiency due to the nonuniform discharge, which is a problem in the conventional method. In particular, the formation of an unequal electric field near the needle electrode by an insulating spacer has an important effect on the generation and stabilization of discharge. Further, since no dielectric is inserted between the comb-shaped electrode and the plate electrode, it is possible to generate a discharge having a higher electron density than the conventional method. Further, since a high DC voltage is applied, the increase in gas temperature is less than that in the conventional method, and therefore ozone is less destroyed.
