Abstract: A continuous ozone generator includes: at least two electrodes with a dielectric medium placed therebetween, the electrodes defining discharge gaps; an input end for circulating an oxygen-loaded gas to an output end; at least one electrode being made up of at least two segments, placed one behind the other in the direction of the flow of the gas; elements for cooling the electrodes, and elements for supplying electrical current to establish voltage between the electrodes and cause discharges within the gaps where the gas flows. The segments of the electrode are divided into at least two electrically separate groups, and the electrical current supply elements include at least two separate electrical supply stages, respectively corresponding to each segment group, thus ensuring that power is provided by each stage while taking into consideration the local ozone concentration, while power supply optimization elements are provided to, respectively, control each electrical supply stage.
