Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for measuring ozone concentration in which ozone contained in a liquid to be measured is caused to shift into a clean gas in a gas-liquid contacting tube. The gas into which the ozone has shifted is supplied to a photocell into which light is projected. The gas supplied to the photocell is exhausted through an ozone dissolving tube. The light transmitted through the photocell enters a detector. The output from the detector is utilized as an indication of the concentration of ozone in the exhausted gas, and hence in the liquid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
An apparatus for measuring the ozone concentration of a liquid, comprising: a gas-liquid contacting means which is supplied with an ozone-containing liquid at a first predetermined rate and a clean gas at a second predetermined rate for contacting said liquid with said gas, to thereby shift the ozone in said liquid to said gas; optical analyzing means which is supplied with the gas exhausted from said contacting means, said analyzing means including a light source outputting light of a frequency normally absorbed by the ozone present in said exhaust gas, and means for measuring the amount of ozone present in said ozone-containing liquid by sensing the amount of said light passing through said exhausted gas.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
115 words
An apparatus for measuring the ozone concentration of a liquid, comprising: a gas-liquid contacting means which is supplied with an ozone-containing liquid at a first predetermined rate and a clean gas at a second predetermined rate for contacting said liquid with said gas, to thereby shift the ozone in said liquid to said gas; optical analyzing means which is supplied with the gas exhausted from said contacting means, said analyzing means including a light source outputting light of a frequency normally absorbed by the ozone present in said exhaust gas, and means for measuring the amount of ozone present in said ozone-containing liquid by sensing the amount of said light passing through said exhausted gas.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The apparatus for measuring ozone concentration according to claim 1, wherein said gas-liquid contacting means comprises a diffuser for diffusing said clean gas into said ozone-containing liquid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The apparatus for measuring ozone concentration according to claim 1, wherein said clean gas is supplied to said gas-liquid contacting means by a compressor of an oilless type.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The apparatus for measuring ozone concentration according to claim 1, further comprising an ozone dissolving tube for exhausting said ozone-containing gas supplied to said optical means.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
114 words
An apparatus for measuring the ozone concentration of a liquid, comprising; means for receiving an ozone-containing liquid at a first predetermined rate and a clean gas at a second predetermined rate, and for shifting the ozone in said ozone-containing liquid to said clean gas, by contacting said ozone-containing liquid with said clean gas; optical analyzing means which is supplied with the gas exhausted from said shifting means; said analyzing means including a light source outputting light of a frequency normally absorbed by the ozone present in said exhaust gas, and means for measuring the amount of ozone present in said ozone-containing liquid by sensing the amount of said light passing through said exhausted gas.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
114 words
An apparatus for measuring the ozone concentration of a liquid, comprising; means for receiving an ozone-containing liquid at a first predetermined rate and a clean gas at a second predetermined rate, and for shifting the ozone in said ozone-containing liquid to said clean gas, by contacting said ozone-containing liquid with said clean gas; optical analyzing means which is supplied with the gas exhausted from said shifting means; said analyzing means including a light source outputting light of a frequency normally absorbed by the ozone present in said exhaust gas, and means for measuring the amount of ozone present in said ozone-containing liquid by sensing the amount of said light passing through said exhausted gas.
