Method for controlling an ozone generating machine (OGM) comprising the steps of:

wherein each base setting file (BSF) is dedicated to a type of ozone generating machine (OGM), retrieving and reading a dedicated base setting file (BSF) corresponding to the type of the ozone generating machine (OGM) indicated by a identification code (ID), encoding and writing a system configuration file (Sysconf) based on the dedicated base setting file (BSF), comprising at least a set of sensor coefficients (SK) and a set of actuator coefficients (AK), producing ozone with the ozone generating machine (OGM), said step comprising at least a step of correcting the at least one sensor signal (SSI) with at least one sensor coefficient (SK) or actuating the at least one actuator (ACT) with the at least one actuator control signal (ACS) corrected by at least one actuator coefficient (AK).

A method for controlling an ozone generator with a high-voltage electrode, at least one counter electrode, and a gap in which at least one dielectric is arranged and which is perfused by an oxygen-containing gas having a particle density n.sub.gas. The high-voltage electrode and the at least one counter electrode are provided with a connection for an electrical voltage supply for generating silent discharges in at least one discharge gap. Striking distances d of the discharge are distributed between a minimum striking distance d.sub.min and a maximum striking distance d.sub.max. For the generation of an ozone concentration>12 wt. % ozone, the voltage amplitude U.sub.0 of an AC voltage on the electrical voltage supply is selected so that U.sub.0<130*10.sup.21 V*m.sup.2*n.sub.gas*d.sub.max*(C.sub.DL+C.sub.g)/C.sub.DL, with C.sub.DL=capacitance of the dielectric and C.sub.g=capacitance of the discharge gap.

An ozone generator includes at least four independent ozone generation control channels that energize at least four independent ozone generation plates. The at least four independent ozone generation control channels allow for multiple modes of operation, including sterilization, disinfecting, and managing, in addition to interleaved operation, which significantly extends the useful life of the individual ozone generation plates. The ozone generator is placed in a preexisting conditioned airflow that enters a conditioned airspace enclosed by a container. Being placed in the preexisting conditioned airflow, the ozone generator does not require a fan or other air movement device to actively transport ozone-enriched air or oxygen through the ozone generator.

In an ozone generating system in which an intermittent operation is performed, in which an ozone generating operation period in which ozone is generated by discharging gas which contains oxygen in a discharge space of an ozone generating apparatus and an ozone generating operation standby period in which gas is sealed in an ozone generating apparatus and discharge is stopped so as not to generate ozone are performed repeatedly, an absorbent which absorbs at least one of nitric acid and nitrogen oxide is provided in an ozone generating apparatus other than the discharge space.

The present disclosure generally relates to an ozone sanitizing system and method. In one embodiment, a system for sanitizing various objects using ozone gas is disclosed. The system comprises an ozone generating device configured to generate ozone gas for sanitizing one or more objects, and a vessel configured to couple with the ozone generating device for receiving the ozone gas to sanitize the one or more objects stored inside the vessel during an ozone sanitizing cycle. The system is configured to recirculate at least a gas mixture generated during the ozone sanitizing cycle to increase an ozone concentration inside the vessel.

An ozone generator (100) includes: a flow path (1) through which gas flows from an inlet (5) to an outlet (6); an ozone generation unit (3) disposed in the flow path (1); and an ozone sensor (4) disposed in the flow path (1) and upstream of the ozone generation unit (3). The flow path (1) has an upstream-side flow path (130) that forms a gas passing space (AR) located upstream of the ozone generation unit (3) and through which the gas flows from one side to another side in a predetermined direction. The inlet (5) is disposed closer to an outer circumferential portion (131) of the upstream-side flow path (130) than the ozone sensor (4).

In an electrochemical gas sensor (10), a first sensing element (21) is stored in a first storage portion (31). A moisture permeable film (24) is disposed in a first introduction inlet (31A) of the first storage portion (31). The moisture permeable film (24) substantially prevents a to-be-detected gas from permeating therethrough. A second sensing element (22) is disposed in a space into which water vapor and the to-be-detected gas contained in a target gas flow. In such a configuration, the electrochemical gas sensor (10) is capable of detecting a to-be-detected gas having a concentration of 0 or more and 1 ppm or less.

An ozone generation system which is adaptable for supplying ozone to different medium and small application processes. The system has a source of feed gas, a corona discharge cell receiving the feed gas from the feed gas source and generating ozone for the application process, a flow controller measuring and managing the flow of the feed gas from the feed gas source to the corona discharge cell; and a regulator receiving gas from the corona discharge cell and sending the gas to the application process. The regulator maintains pressure in the corona discharge cell independent of the application process pressure.

An automatic optimization of an ozone generating device with a control PC board that controls a corona discharge cell via a microprocessor. An alarm, conveyed through a diagnostic LED, show how the cell is performing. The microprocessor is programmed to monitor current draw, transformer input voltage and length of time of use of the corona discharge cell. LED diagnostic indicator lights give a twelve function diagnostic ability including showing if the generating device is turned off; if the generating device is powered but the pilot input is off; the time between when the pilot input is supplied with voltage and the high voltage finally turns on; the high voltage output is on and stable; the auxiliary output signal lines normally closed or normally open are shorted; the programmed maintenance time has expired.
