Proposed are an ozone generating electrode, a method of manufacturing the same, and a method of producing ozone using the same. The ozone generating electrode includes a support including a metal, a catalyst layer positioned on one surface or both surfaces of the support, and a coating layer positioned on the catalyst layer and including a metal oxide. The ozone generating electrode is energy efficient, stable, and provides a high concentration of ozone to a water system. In addition, when water treatment is performed with the ozone generating electrode of the present invention, it is possible to more effectively decompose pollutants during water treatment and to reduce the electrode replacement cycle, thereby reducing water treatment operation time and cost.

An electrical discharge ozone generation cell has first and second electrode base plates which are separated by a nonconductive flat spacer plate. Within a central opening in the spacer plate is fitted an electrode plate in close contact with the first electrode base plate. A dielectric plate in close contact with the second electrode base plate and with the spacer plate helps define a gas discharge chamber with the interior edges of the spacer plate and the electrode plate. Gaskets on the two sides of the spacer plate around the central opening displaced away from the interior edges of the spacer plate ensure a gas seal for the electrical discharge chamber.

A long-life discharge tube for ozone generator is provided, including an air inlet tube, a connecting column, an ozone outlet tube, inner and outer quartz tubes, an outer copper foil, first and second high-voltage connecting components. The outer side of the connecting column fits closely to the inner quartz tube. The outer quartz tube is sleeved on the inner cylindrical component. An air gap is provided between the inner and outer quartz tubes. The outer side of the outer quartz tube fits closely to the copper foil whose length is less than that of the inner and outer quartz tubes. Two connecting components for generating high voltage for arcing are respectively connected to the inner cylindrical component and the outermost copper foil. This structure can prevent the oxidation and corrosion due to the electric spark on the connecting column, greatly improving the overall service life of the discharge tube.

The chamber is configured to receive a medical gas at least including oxygen. The ozone generator is in communication with the medical gas and configured to generate an ozonated medical gas by converting at least a portion of the oxygen in the medical gas into ozone. The instrument is configured to be introduced into the patient body.

The controller is configured to control the device such that the ozonated medical gas conveyed to the patient body by the instrument is at a targeted amount of ozone.

An ozone generator voltage verification light assembly generates a visual or audible indicator, such as a neon light, to verify that an ozone generator is generating the proper voltage to generate ozone, and/or ozone generator voltage verification light assembly testing assembly operatively connects to an ozone generator, and visually indicates if an irregularity in voltage occurs. The ozone generator includes a power source for supplying electrical current, and a transformer that generates high voltage. The ozone generator also includes single or multiple ceramic plates disposed in a spaced-apart, parallel relationship, and coated with stainless steel mesh. Voltage generated by the transformer contacts the ceramic plates by means of an electrode. Accordingly, ozone is generated by discharging electricity through electrodes that contact in both sides of ceramic plate.
