How to Construct an Ozone Generator Using a Discharge Tube?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the construction of an ozone generator utilizing a discharge tube operating at approximately 6kV. Participants seek guidance on the construction details and specifications of components, particularly the EHT transformer, while addressing safety concerns related to high voltage operation.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests links or information on constructing an ozone generator using a discharge tube, emphasizing the urgency of the project.
  • Another participant seeks specifications and pin configuration details for the LOT 2070 EHT Transformer, also requesting links or direct information.
  • A participant asks for more information about the sources of the transformer and discharge tube to provide better assistance.
  • Concerns are raised regarding the safety of operating at 6kV, specifically the risk of arcing through the epoxy, which could lead to the tube shattering.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for detailed construction information and specifications, but there are differing views on the safety of the proposed setup, with at least one participant expressing caution.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include a lack of detailed specifications for the EHT transformer and potential assumptions about the safety of high voltage operation that have not been fully explored.

Ozone Generation (Help required)

I am working on the project of "Ozone generation".

Generation of ozone is done using discharge tube working at around 6KV. But the source from where I got the details of the project doesn't provided the information on the construction part of it.

Please help me by giving the link where I can find the constructional details of generating ozone through discharge tube.

I have the diagram of the discharge tube which I have attached with this post.
Please help me its urgent.

If it is convinient for you please mail me any details at nirav0279@gmail.com .

Thank you.

My project title is ozone generator. In my project there is one EHT Transformer (i.e LOT 2070 EHT Transformer). I m unable to find the specification of this transformer , its pin configuration and other detail. So please help me out giving some or other details or the link where i could find the link of its specification.
If posible mail the details to nirav0279@gmail.com or else post here itself.

Thank You.
 
Multiple threads merged.

logical, can you give us any more information to try to help you out? Where did you find the transformer and tube?
 
I would be a little leary of this setup. With 6kV, you're going to possibly have arching through the epoxy generating heat that could cause the tube to shatter.
