Effect of duty cycle on ozone production using DBDP cylindrical reactor

Ozone production using DBDP technology used pulse high voltage to generate ozone. The duty cycle has been used the variations of 10%, 30%, 50%, 60% of the 350 Hz as installed frequency. The DBDP reactor constructed by using cylinder-cylindrical electrode configuration. The inner electrode was made by stainless steel mesh with a length of 19 cm, and the outer electrode was aluminum foil with a length of 19 cm. The barrier was made of tube pyrex glass. Ozone is generated utilizing air as an oxygen-containing gas source with atmospheric pressure and a flow rate of 10 L/minute. The results show that using 10% of the duty cycle produces a maximum output voltage of 5 kV, the resulting ozone concentration of 67 ppm. The 30% cycle produces a maximum output voltage of 7.7 kV and ozone production with a concentration of 115.2 ppm. The 50% duty cycle produces a maximum output voltage of 10 kV with an ozone concentration of 134.4 ppm. The 60% duty cycle is capable of generating a maximum output voltage of 10.77 kV with an ozone concentration generated from 160.8 ppm. We found that using 60% duty cycle is capable of producing high concentrations and ozone capacity.
