Concentric ozonator tube assesmbly
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A corona discharge ozonator tube assembly comprising:
- two endcaps, each said endcap having an inside face, said face having at least three concentric endcap bore holes comprising a small, an intermediate and a large bore hole;
a cooling jacket assembly having two jacket ends andan elongate hollow outer electrode,an elongate jacket disposed to surround said outer electrode, andtwo flanges, one said flange disposed at each said jacket end to sealably join said jacket to said outer electrode, thereby forming a substantially fluid-tight cooling fluid flow space between said outer electrode and said elongate jacket;
endcap fastening means for sealably joining said endcap inside face to said flange at each said jacket end such that both said large bore holes join with the hollow interior of said outer electrode to form a substantially gas-tight ozone space;
an elongate hollow dielectric having two dielectric ends, said dielectric disposed within said outer electrode and held in concentric relationship with said outer electrode by the disposition of said dielectric ends within said intermediate endcap bore holes; and
an elongate inner electrode having two ends, said inner electrode disposed within said dielectric and held in concentric relationship with said dielectric by the disposition of said inner electrode ends within said small bore holes.

Abstract
A durable, efficient and inexpensive corona discharge ozonator tube assembly of the Siemens Ozonizator. A very high conversion efficiency of 4.0 kWhr/kgO3 is attained, demonstrating a thermal efficiency of approximately 20%. The assembly consists of industry-standard sized stainless-steel and glass elements held in position by means of a novel nonconductive endcap design. The resulting output ozone concentration of 2.5% at a one liter per minute air flow rate provides approximately 77 grams per day of ozone for the preferred embodiment having a single five-inch long corona chamber.
