Abstract :
This paper proposes a low voltage, high frequency power converters to produce ozone gas in atmospheric pressure. The ozone chamber is made of a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) chamber using perforated electrodes sheet and insulation material which has lower dielectric breakdown. The power converter is an isolated high frequency inverter with resonance at the secondary of the transformer. This converter is expected to generate ozone gas with lower voltage and power consumption.
