Abstract
A corona discharge ozonator is provided that comprises a first electrode, a second electrode and a dielectric material disposed between the electrodes. An ozonization chamber is formed between one of the electrodes and the dielectric material and defines a fluid flow path. A plurality of thermally-conducting solids are within the fluid flow path. Substantially each of the solids touches another of the solids and either the dielectric material or the first or second electrode. These solids transfer heat from the hotter to the cooler of the dielectric and the first or second electrode when one of the electrodes is cooled by a conventional means such as a water bath. Corona discharge ozonators of the invention have improved ozone output and increased ozone production energy efficiency.
