STUDY OF THE DEPENDENCE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PULSE NEGATIVE CORONA ON THE PARAMETERS OF THE COMBINED HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY

Abstract

Numerical simulations of the negative corona in oxygen-containing gases under varying voltage are carried out. It is shown that by changing the values of constant voltage and duration of its application, between high voltage pulses, it is possible to control the electric field strength near the cathode, during the pulse. Quantitative characteristics of the ozone generation process are experimentally investigated. It is found that the agreed choice of the values of the constant component of the applied voltage and the frequency of the high voltage pulses can significantly increase the productivity and energy efficiency of ozone generators.
