Abstract:

An ozone generator is disclosed in which ozone production is controlled through corona voltage and airflow. The ozone from the generator converts perchloroethylene vapor in dry cleaning effluents into environmentally acceptable compounds. Ozone generation is controlled in response to the perchloroethylene vapor concentration in the mixture that is discharged from a mixing chamber in the apparatus. Other features include an inflatable retention chamber for allowing the ozone and perchloroethylene reaction to go to completion and improved means for cleaning the glass plates in the ozone generator by sliding the plates out of the generator structure.
