Abstract
Abstract In a corona generator preferably for generating ozone and employing a plurality of corona generating cells each comprising a pair of parallel spaced-apart electrodes and preferably having a fired-on coating of porcelain enamel and connected to a voltage source Vo and having an air gap Ta between said electrodes (between the porcelain enamel coating of the electrodes), said electrodes being spaced apart such that the following equation is substantially satisfied; ##EQU1## WHERE Ta -- air gap in mils Vo -- applied peak voltage in volts Td -- dielectric thickness in mils ε -- dielectric constant
