Abstract:
An ozone generating system, comprising:one or more electrolytic cells comprising an anode, a cathode, and an ion exchange membrane disposed between the anode and the cathode;means for generating ozone by an electrolytic process in the electrochemical cells;an anode reservoir in fluid communication with the anode, the anode reservoir comprising a first hydrophobic gas permeable member positioned in an upper portion of the anode reservoir;a cathode reservoir in fluid communication with the cathode, the cathode reservoir comprising a second hydrophobic gas permeable member positioned in an upper portion of the cathode reservoir, wherein the cathode reservoir is in restricted fluid communication with the anode reservoir below the first and second hydrophobic members; andmeans for the continuous supply of water into direct contact with the hydrophobic members of the anode and cathode reservoirs.
