The dielectric barrier discharge cell (DBDC), also called ozone cell, is the main component of the ozone generators widely used. When the cell is powered with a high voltage value (> 5 kV) in the dielectric gas, arises a high intensity electric field that influences ozone generation processes by silent discharge also called dielectric barrier di...

The distilled water has the advantage of high value dielectric constant (Ɛ = 81) in relation to ceramic glass materials, currently used for constructing the dielectric barrier. It was necessary to build a thin-walled enclosure of solid insulating material that contain distilled water to achieve a dielectric barrier. This was necessary to avoid expo...
