  • Patent number: 3973133
    Abstract: An improved ozone generator formed from two groups of spaced, interleaved, relatively small reactor plates in a housing. Each of the plates is cooled by a coolant passing through the interior thereof. The coolant is a refrigerant flowing through a refrigeration system for which the plates define the evaporator. Each plate has a ceramic outer coating which provides a dielectric therefor and protects the plate from corrosion. Improved support means for each group of plates includes a pair of tubular mounts formed from fittings which convey the refrigerant to internal passages in the plates, provide the electrical connections thereto, and permit the plates to be coupled together as a modular unit so that the plates can be leak-tested before being placed in the housing. Improved fluid distribution means is provided at the inlet and outlet ends of the housing to assure uniform flow of air into the housing and uniform flow of air and ozone out of the housing.
