| Abstract |
In this paper, it was investigated experimentally that diameter and polarity variation of corona wire electrode affected to ozone generation of the ozone generator using a wire-to-plate type electrode. The change in the diameter(D) of the corona wire electrode has a great effect upon ozone generation, higher influence appears in the positive corona discharge than the negative corona discharge. In the case of D=0.50[mm], maximum ozone generation and power efficiency could be obtained. However, in the case of smaller D than this, the ozone generation and efficiency decreases slowly and in the case of larger D, the ozone generation decreases rapidly. It means performance decline as an ozone generator. Therefore, ozone generation and power efficiency would increase through simple optimization of the corona electrode specification. |
