Abstract

In order to enhance the efficiency of an ozone generator it is proposed that its outer electrodes (1,2) are formed essentially as metal plates arranged and separated from one another in pairs, between which a tube (3) or a layer of closely-spaced tubes (3) with a diameter corresponding to the separation of the metal plates lies. The tubes (3) have an outer coating of dielectric material, or themselves consist of such, and possess in each case an inner electrode (4) of an electrically conductive material. Despite a comparatively inhomogeneous discharge gap (6), such an ozone generator has a high efficiency of ozone generation because the heat arising in the discharge space can be dissipated optimally.
