Experimental analysis of the influence of the voltage waveform on ozone generation efficiency

ABSTRACT Although the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) has been widely considered and studied for ozone generation, only a few studies have examined the influence of the alternating voltage waveform on the ozone rate production. This paper analyses the influence of the voltage shape on the ozone concentration and the energy efficiency of a DBD cylindrical ozone generator. Three voltage signals were studied using a high-voltage amplifier: sinusoidal, triangular and rectangular signals with voltage values up to 8 kV and frequencies up to 1.1 kHz. The obtained results showed that the efficiency of the ozone generator depends strongly on the type of the voltage waveform. The maximum values of the energy efficiency and the ozone concentration were obtained with the triangular voltage signal. This wave shape configuration has been successfully used for discolouration of water contaminated by textile dye.
