What is the diameter of the discharge tube in an ozone generator?
Thread Content
Hello everyone. I’ve noticed a problem: the diameter of the discharge electrodes in corona discharge-type ozone generators is almost the same across all companies. It’s quite large. What determines the diameter of these discharge electrode tubes? Companies such as Kangtong, Suiquan, Jiahuan, and Guolin all use the same diameter It’s that regardless of whether it’s an ozone generator with a capacity of over 100 grams, or regardless of the size of the ozone-producing stainless steel tube, the size of the electrode tube inside remains exactly the same as shown in the diagram. Why is that?
Discharge tubes are divided into enamel and glass tubes. The production of these discharge tubes requires specific technical skills; generally, small generator manufacturers do not have the capability to produce them, and only a few companies in the market are able to do so, which is why there aren’t many different specifications available. Regarding the diameter of the discharge tube, it is mainly the gap between the discharge tube and the stainless steel tube that determines the gas flow rate and ozone production; of course, it is also related to power consumption. It’s the same size as a discharge tube, with each section having the same length – isn’t that better for the user? It offers greater versatility and replaceability, but this is usually purchased from the generator manufacturer.
There must be reasons for the conductor’s discharge area, curve radius, discharge voltage, and the sound intensity of air breakdown; I just can’t find them yet. I’m not sure why the thickness of the discharge electrodes is set to be the same in this case. I hope everyone can share more insights on this
What process is this device used in? ? ?
It refers to the production of ozone; regardless of its uses, it is about the diameter of the discharge tube in the ozone generator itself, and it has nothing to do with the actual application
Have you noticed that in almost all water-cooled ozone generators on the market, regardless of their weight, the diameter of the discharge tubes is basically the same, and the gap between the discharge tubes and the ozone tubes is also roughly constant. The gas flow rate and ozone production, as you mentioned, are related to the length of the ozone tubes; however, the gaps here remain unchanged. The discharge voltage and the diameter here determine the discharge area; the breakdown voltage should be related to the radius of curvature, and thermal power also needs to be taken into account. There are too many factors at play here. I just want to understand why such large electrode diameters are used – there must be a reason for that, one that we haven’t yet identified.
Can it be used for wastewater treatment? ?
Of course, ozone can replace many chemicals
The key components of large ozone generators are the AC power control system and the discharge control system design, which are generally not made public. This can only be addressed by professional technicians separately.
