Abstract

Investigation results of dielectric barrier discharge with preliminary gap ionization and development of medical ozonator with O/sub 3/ output concentrations in the range from 10 to 10000 /spl mu/g/1 are presented. Thin structure of microchannels and their current characteristics are studied. Wide dynamic range is provided by variations of pulse repetition rate of discharge powering. High precision of ozone synthesis is performed at the expense of dielectric barrier discharge initiation and application of short powering pulses.
