Abstract:
A system for treating cooling tower water comprising, in combination:an apparatus for bombarding a feed gas with electrons to generate ozone and other atoms and molecules comprising: a first electrode; wherein said first electrode comprises: an electron gun coupled to a power source and located proximate one end of said first electrode; a rod in electrical communication with said electron gun; a first tube of dielectric material disposed along a length of said rod; a second tube of dielectric material dimensioned to receive therein said first tube; wherein said second tube is substantially sealed; and an inert gas disposed within each of said first tube and said second tube; a second electrode containing a channel dimensioned to receive therein said first electrode so that sufficient space is present between said first electrode and said second electrode that a feed gas may be passed through said channel along an exterior surface of said first electrode; a feed gas inlet coupled to said second electrode and wherein said feed gas inlet is in communication with said channel; a feed gas outlet coupled at a first end thereof to said second electrode and wherein said feed gas outlet is in communication with said channel; and an injector coupled to said feed gas outlet.
