Abstract

There is provided a small and light ozone generating apparatus capable of producing ozone with much less consumption of electric power. The present invention comprises a pulse generator for generating high-voltage pulses and a discharge chamber for inducing electrical discharge in response to the high-voltage pulses. The pulse generator includes an LC circuit for compressing square wave signals and generating impulses. The use of impulse greatly reduces electric power consumption and volume of ozone generating apparatus. Electrical discharge takes place between an electrode plate and grounded chamber wall. A sheet of oxide dielectric covers the chamber wall to prevent corrosion of chamber wall.
