Abstract:
An ozone generator comprising:a substantially transparent tube including two ends, with one end including an inlet for oxygen-containing gas; an inner mesh electrode arranged about an inner surface of the tube; an outer mesh electrode arranged about an outer surface of the tube, the outer and inner mesh electrodes selectively connected to an electrical ground and an electrical power source, thereby forming a multiplicity of ozone-creating electric arcs that generate ozone in the oxygen-containing gas; a substantially transparent jacket structured to enclose the tube and electrodes, the jacket including a gas exit; a housing structured to enclose the jacket, the housing including a fluid inlet and a fluid exit; and an ozone return line coupled to the gas exit and the housing, so that a fluid passing through the housing is simultaneously exposed to ozone and an ultraviolet radiation produced by the ozone-creating electric arcs.
