  • Patent number: 11609219
    Abstract: A gas analyzer uses continuous sonic signals through a conduit to determine the composition of a gas in the conduit. A transmitting transducer drives sonic signals at a fixed frequency and a second transducer receives the sonic signals. The phase shift between two signals corresponds to the speed of sound through the gas and is related to the composition of the gas. The electronic versions of these signals are processed by lowering, or dividing, the fixed frequency which expands the range of phase shift measurement and allows the determination of an expanded range for the gas composition. In an ozone generation system, the gas analyzer is highly suitable for determining the composition of gases derived from air as a gas of known composition and a calibration point.

  • Publication number: 20220259044
    Abstract: An ozone generation system which is adaptable for supplying ozone to different medium and small application processes. The system has a source of feed gas, a corona discharge cell receiving the feed gas from the feed gas source and generating ozone for the application process, a flow controller measuring and managing the flow of the feed gas from the feed gas source to the corona discharge cell; and a regulator receiving gas from the corona discharge cell and sending the gas to the application process. The regulator maintains pressure in the corona discharge cell independent of the application process pressure.

  • Patent number: 11247900
    Abstract: An electrical discharge ozone generation cell has first and second electrode base plates which are separated by a nonconductive flat spacer plate. Within a central opening in the spacer plate is fitted an electrode plate in close contact with the first electrode base plate. A dielectric plate in close contact with the second electrode base plate and with the spacer plate helps define a gas discharge chamber with the interior edges of the spacer plate and the electrode plate. Gaskets on the two sides of the spacer plate around the central opening displaced away from the interior edges of the spacer plate ensure a gas seal for the electrical discharge chamber.

  • Publication number: 20220041443
    Abstract: The present invention generally includes an ozone generation system with a power supply that measures the rate of energy delivered to the ozone generation cell. While changing voltage, frequency or current will likely affect the rate of energy delivery, current, frequency and voltage provide a very poor and unreliable control for an ozone generation cell. It is only through control of the rate of energy delivery that consistent, reliable ozone generation is possible. Based upon the measurements of the rate of energy delivery as measured at the ozone generation cell, compared to the rate of energy delivery supplied, the rate of energy delivery supplied can be adjusted to improve ozone production and control.
