Many studies have analyzed the performance of ozone generation systems to achieve the maximum ozone concentration with the lowest possible energy consumption. This study conducted an experimental analysis of a cylindrical ozone generator with a discharge gap reduced to 0.5 mm and a partitioned high-voltage electrode composed of three copper foil strips. The proposed model was compared with a similar model having a complete high-voltage electrode of the same effective length. The ozone generator was analyzed for energy efficiency and ozone concentration by using the design of experiments methodology. Three control factors were considered: voltage V, frequency f, and gap distance between adjacent portions of a high-voltage electrode d. The results showed that the new configuration with the partitioned electrode provides improved results of both ozone concentration and energy efficiency.
