Abstract

In modern ozone generators high power densities can be achieved using ceramic-based dielectrics and suitable gap widths and double cooling. By constructing the dielectric layer from dielectric powders of different grain size and binding with artificial resin, the long-term breakdown voltage of the dielectric layer can be increased to such an extent that they fulfil the operating requirements.
