Report HV Lab 1

Mohammed Khaled Mohammed Ridwan: Section 6, ID 130. The document discusses commercial ozone production using corona discharge in an ozone generator. Corona discharge works by using a high voltage transformer to create a spark across a dielectric, splitting oxygen molecules (O2) and forming ozone (O3). Different types of generators use various dielectric materials and configurations to efficiently spread the spark over a large area. While requiring more initial investment, corona discharge generators can scalably produce large amounts of ozone at medium-high concentrations in a cost-effective manner.

Ozone Production from corona Discharge


Commercial Ozone Production from Electrical Discharge:
The most common method of producing ozone commercially and industrially is
electrical discharge, or corona discharge. A corona discharge is simply a diffused
spark through a dielectric to spread out that electrical discharge to a large area
for maximum efficiency.

 How does a Corona Discharge Ozone Generator work?


The heart of every ozone system is the ozone generator. Ozone (O3) is created
from Oxygen (O2) in nature and in ozone generators for commercial or industrial
applications, however Ozone (O3) quickly reverts back to molecular Oxygen (O2).
Ozone cannot be stored due to a short half-life and must be produced on-site and
on-demand. Therefore, the ozone generator is the most important component of
any successful ozone system.

Any electrical discharge, or spark will create ozone. The spark will split the oxygen
molecule (O2) into elemental oxygen (O). These Oxygen atoms will quickly bind to
another oxygen molecule (O2) to form ozone (O3).The electrical energy used in
ozone generation splits the oxygen molecule.

-0.82 kWh of electrical power for every 1 kg of ozone generated.


In a corona discharge ozone generator, the electrical discharge will take place in
an air gap within the corona cell designed specifically to split the oxygen molecule
and produce ozone. In this air gap a dielectric is used to distribute the electron
flow evenly across this gap to spread the electron flow to as great a volume of
oxygen as possible.

 Dielectric Used to Create Corona:
A single spark from an anode to cathode will find a few
oxygen molecules in-between and will produce some
ozone. However, if this spark is spread out over a
greater area, more oxygen molecules will be
contacted. This is the reason for the dielectric barrier
used in an ozone generator to create a corona. Using a
dielectric the spark is spread over a greater area and
creates a true corona.

 High Voltage Transformer:


To push the electrical discharge through the dielectric material a higher voltage is
required. Therefore, an ozone generator will implement some type of transformer
to increase the voltage from line voltage up to 600 – 20,000 volts depending upon
the dielectric, and air gap between the anode and cathode.

Using this high voltage corona discharge as oxygen molecules are passed through
the gap between the dielectric and the anode or cathode ozone will be produced.
These are the fundamentals of corona discharge.

 There are many types and styles of corona discharge
ozone generators. These go by many names, but are
fundamentally the same, using these components:
1. Corona cell using a dielectric.
2. Dielectric material may be glass, ceramic, or quartz.
3. Dielectric may be conical, or flat plate.
4. High voltage transformer to increase voltage of the electrical discharge.
5. Power supply to regulate power to transformer.
6. 50Hz machines will only regulate the voltage to the transformer.
7. High frequency machines (greater than 50 Hz) will regulate frequency
and/or voltage to transformer.

 Advantages of Corona Discharge Ozone Generator:


1. Scalable and can create very large amounts of ozone.

2. Creates ozone at medium to high ozone concentrations (up to 30% by

weight).
3. Cost effective for long term operation.

4. Low maintenance.

 Disadvantages of Corona Discharge Ozone Generator:


1. High cost for initial capital investment.

2. Creates excess heat that must be removed for efficient operation.

3. Requires very clean, dry air/oxygen feed-gas for reliable operation.
