A systematic parameters study from analytic calculations to optimize ozoneconcentration in an oxygen-fed wire-to-cylinder ozonizer

A systematic parameter study from analytic calculations is presented to opt imize ozone concentration in an oxygen-fed wire-to-cylinder ozonizer. Using experimental results: an analytic temperature law is deduced and included in a previously published analytical model [1]. From this latter a systemat ic parameters study shows that optimum conditions for ozone generation depe nd on electric power, gas flow and ozonizer geometry. A general relationshi p is given to calculate the best working conditions. The main physical func tions for ozone production (formation and destruction overall coefficients, ozone concentration, specific energy and economical criterion) are studied and commented. These results are finally compared with experiments for a w ide range of parameters and a good agreement is found.
