Ionizer Feedback Control
The ionizer feedback control converts high-voltage signals to feedback signals to monitor the corresponding high-voltage signals and compares the feedback signals to a first specification to determine whether the feedback signals are within the first specification. The ionizer varies a frequency and a duty cycle of a digital signal to control an excitation signal for a step-up transformer and modulates the frequency and the duty cycle of a step-up transformer output voltage to consistently maintain the feedback signals within the first specification and maintain the high-voltage signals within a second specification to generate consistent ion concentrations over a range of electrical signal inputs. The microprocessor calculates and reports high-voltage signals, and ion concentrations based on feedback signals. The microprocessor monitors concentrations of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in an airflow serving the ionizer and adjusts the high-voltage signals and ion concentration when VOC concentrations are above a threshold.

In a method and device for separating components in a corona discharge zone an air stream containing water molecules is passed between at least one ionizing electrode and at least one non-ionizing electrode; and high voltage is applied to the electrodes to create a corona discharge zone consisting of a plasma region wherein ozone is formed and a dark region where predominantly hydrogen peroxide is formed. The air flow entering the corona discharge zone is divided into two separate air flows, a first of which passes through the corona discharge plasma region, and a second of which passes through the dark corona discharge region; and a negative pressure gradient is applied to the plasma region only so as to remove the ozone and thereby separate the ozone from the hydrogen peroxide.
