Patent ID: 8080213

Claim:
An improved ozone generator for use in purification systems, comprising in combination: (a) an extruded base having a plurality of longitudinal channels for receiving connections at distributed points; (b) an extruded cover having a top surface that transitions by curved shoulders to two side walls for engaging said base adjacent to each opposing side thereof and for covering a substantial portion of said base, said cover being detachably connectable to said base; (c) a longitudinal baffle dividing the volume between said base and said cover into a reaction chamber and a circuitry chamber; (d) at least one ultraviolet light source for converting oxygen in ambient air into useable amounts of ozone, said light source being mounted to connection points on one of said longitudinal channels within said reaction chamber; (e) electronic circuitry for controlling and transforming an input voltage to drive said light source, said circuitry being mounted to connection points on one of said longitudinal channels within said circuitry chamber; (f) removable end caps for separately covering apertures formed by the ends of said cover and said base, said end caps being connected to said base by means of at least two of said channels; (g) an outlet conduit providing fluid communication between from the reaction chamber, said conduit being selectively restricted to control the fluid flow therein.
