  • Patent number: 6315962
    Abstract: An ozone producing apparatus includes an ozone generator for generating ozonized oxygen, an adsorption/desorption tower for adsorbing and storing ozone from the ozonized oxygen, and an ozone desorbing device for desorbing adsorbed and stored ozone for supply, wherein the apparatus further includes an oxygen gas supply tank for supplying oxygen to the adsorption/desorption tower at the time that desorption is started and an oxygen gas flow rate adjusting valve for adjusting flow rate of the oxygen gas to, be supplied. Ozone injection can be made definite, and the apparatus is economical in the aspect of both initial and running costs. It presents great effects of preventing slime adhesion and can also limit generation of oxidants even when applied to sea water.

  • Patent number: 6214298
    Abstract: An ozone producing apparatus comprising an ozone generator for generating ozonized oxygen, an adsorption/desorption tower for adsorbing and storing ozone from the ozonized oxygen generated by the ozone generator, and an ozone desorbing means for desorbing the adsorbed and stored ozone for supply, wherein a reducer storage for storing reducer therein is connected to the adsorption/desorption tower through a switch valve which is opened when the ozone producing apparatus is under an abnormal driving condition. Desorbed ozone can be safely treated even in the case of power failure or an abnormal driving condition in which high pressure or high temperature exists in the adsorption/desorption tower.

  • Patent number: 6086772
    Abstract: A method for preventing biofouling in a cooling water system wherein ozone of high density is intermittently injected into a circulating line of a cooling water system in which cooling water is made to circulate in a closed system which includes a cooling tower and a heat exchanger. There is further disclosed an apparatus for preventing biofouling in a cooling water system, comprising an ozone generator for producing ozone, an ozone reservoir for temporarily storing the produced ozone, and an ozone injector for injecting the stored ozone into a circulating line of a cooling water system. Biofouling can be economically and reliably prevented.

  • Patent number: 6083464
    Abstract: An ozone supplying apparatus comprising an ozone generator, an adsorption/desorption device for adsorbing and storing ozone from ozonized oxygen, and an ozone desorbing means, the apparatus being arranged to return oxygen to the ozone generator after desorbing ozone therefrom to desorb ozone from the adsorption/desorption device and to perform treatment of an object by mixing the ozone with fluid. The apparatus further includes a fluid storing means for storing fluid after being injected with ozone and a fluid treating means for treating the fluid after treatment of the object.

  • Patent number: 6054102
    Abstract: An ozone producing apparatus comprising an ozone generator, an adsorption/desorption tower, and an ozone desorbing means for desorbing adsorbed and stored ozone for supply, wherein the apparatus further includes an ozone density measuring means, and a control circuit for adjusting an amount of electric power for the ozone generator by comparing the measured value detected by the measuring means with a set value. A specified amount of ozone can be desorbed and treated in a stable manner in a just sufficient amount also in a case in which characteristics of the adsorbent or the ozone generator, temperature or degree of pollution of the water, multiplication speed of microorganisms or reaction speed of ozone should happen to be changed, so that adhesion of slime can be prevented in a stable manner over a long period.
