Effects of operating parameters on dielectric barrier discharge non-thermal plasma ozone generator performance and NO Conversion by Chonpan Phurin, Theinnoi Kampanart, Iamcheerangkoon Teerapong, Promhuad Punya, Sittichompoo Sak

“…Lower gas flow rates lead to higher specific energy density (SED) and thus greater O3 and NO2 concentrations due to longer oxygen molecule residence times. Higher oxygen concentrations in the feed gas result in a linear increase in O3 and NO2 levels, driven by more oxygen molecules available for ozone production which enhances NO oxidation. …”
