| Abstract | An efficient grid type ozonizer have been fab1icated for laboratory scale appHc11tions
requiring highly concentrated ozone. It consists of a stainless steel inner grid as high voltage
discharge eJec1 rode, rnclius of which is very close 1.o the radius of outer glass rube, acHng
as grounded electrode. The ourer glass tuhe is cooled directly with water from laboratory
supply.
Performance analysis of fabricated ozonizer wirh two types of discharge electrodes,
each on e furnishing one mode of oxygen flow through reactor, was cariied out to asce1ta.in
the maximum ozone concencration C (mg0 /t0~ and energy yield YO (g03
/kWh) attended.
For first mode (wit.h oxygen flowing through discharge gap and hollow g1id electrode at
volwne flow rate 4ml/s) an energy yield YO = 67 gO;/l(Wh and ozone concentration C = 70
mg0 3
/J0 2 was secured. For second mode (wjt}1 oxygen flowing only through discharge gap
at volume flow rate 2.5ml/s) an energy yield YO = 48 g03
/kWh and ozone concentration 80
mg03
/J02 was secured.
An expeiimental investigation was conducted to consolidar.e the concept pertaining
to 1J1e generation of excited ozone. Experimental results 1malysis revealed that ozone
genera ted. at high electric fi eld imensir.y (kV / mm) within discharge gap have differenr.

Simple Unear mathematical models sbnulatb1g the process of ozone production and
heat transfer from discharge gap r.o water fl ow circuit and oxygen flow circuit have been
developed. |
