Patent ID: 7560080

Claim:
A method f or generating ozone from oxygen-containing gases comprising silent electric discharging in an installation having at least two gaps ( 16 , 18 ), which are traversed by the gas, wherein one of said gaps is formed between an electrode ( 10 ) and a dielectric ( 14 ) and the other gap is formed between said dielectric and an additional electrode ( 12 ), said installation having an inlet, an outlet and a throttle; distributing a total volumetric flow of the gas between the gaps ( 16 , 18 ) at said inlet or said outlet or inside the gap ( 16 , 18 ) or of a subcombination at the inlet and outlet or at the inlet and inside the gap ( 16 , 18 ) or at the inlet and outlet and inside the gap ( 16 , 18 ); wherein adjusting the distributing of the gas volumetric flow in the gaps ( 16 , 18 ) is by said throttle ( 20 ) in a range of 20 to 80%; and wherein by individually dimensioning a flow resistance of the throttle ( 20 ), compensating structural component tolerances having an influence on the ozone yield can be in one series of the installation.
