Ozone Generator for Small Capacity Ozone Generation by using a Ceramic Transformer By Norio Nakajima & Toshiyuki Horinouchi

Abstract

Construction and experimental results of an ozone generator using a ceramic transformer as a high voltage power supply are described. The ceramic transformer has such characteristics that the higher voltage step up ratio and lower input impedance are obtained against higher load impedance. It gives a benefit of current self-regulation. The ozone generator consists of an oscillator, ceramic transformer, four times voltage rectifier and needle-plane electrodes. The corona discharge can be kept constant continuously by the functions of the ceramic transformer with out any current regulating circuits. Thus, the ozone generator has a simple construction. The amount of generated ozone is variable from 0.5 “ppm” to 2.0 “ppm” and can be adjusted by varying the input voltage to the ceramic transformer. This kind of ozone generator is suitable for deodorization and sterilization in home kitchens, and shoe cases and refrigerators.
