Abstract: In an ozone generator, spring elements (5) of metal pointing transversely to the longitudinal direction of the tube are provided for spacing the dielectric (3) from the metallic outer electrode (1). These spring elements are either bonded directly to the dielectric (3) and are stuck onto a tape-shaped carrier which is attached to the dielectric (3) and at their free ends rest against the inside wall of the outer electrode (1). In this manner, the discharge gap is only minimally constricted and the assembly of the inner tubes (2a, 2b) is simplified.
Abstract: In ozone generators having segmented inner electrodes (7), the electric connection of the segments is effected by means of plane contact areas (10) applied to the ends of the segments. A tension rod (11) passing through all segments ensures cohesion and, at the same time, is used as the connecting element for supplying the ozone generator with power.
