Experiments using dry oxygen in a wire–to–cylinder ozone generator, submitted to D.C. corona discharges show that technological parameters (diameter and composition of wire and cylinder, length of cell, gas flow and transit time of the gas) greatly influence ozone production. The cell geometry to be used depends on the polarity of the D.C. voltage applied to the wire and, for a predetermined design, the maximum ozone production rate will be obtained by seeking the most suitable gas flow. Lining up a series of optimized cells can give significant results.
