Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for efficiently deodorizing or sterilizing a target space, which is contaminated with virus, bacteria, fungi and the like over a reference value, by using ozone without adversely affecting a human body. More particularly, the present invention relates to an air sterilizer using ozone, which includes a control unit for automatically controlling a proper concentration of ozone capable of efficiently sterilizing the target space according to the size of the target space. Specifically, the air sterilizer comprises an ozone generating unit subjected to ON/OFF control, a control unit for controlling a variety of safety devices having functions of efficiently controlling the concentration of ozone in the target space, a functional air filter unit having functions of cleaning air and removing residual ozone, and a fan for circulating the air in the target space.

Abstract: There is provided a small and light ozone generating apparatus capable of producing ozone with much less consumption of electric power. The present invention comprises a pulse generator for generating high-voltage pulses and a discharge chamber for inducing electrical discharge in response to the high-voltage pulses. The pulse generator includes an LC circuit for compressing square wave signals and generating impulses. The use of impulse greatly reduces electric power consumption and volume of ozone generating apparatus. Electrical discharge takes place between an electrode plate and grounded chamber wall. A sheet of oxide dielectric covers the chamber wall to prevent corrosion of chamber wall.
