Abstract
The behaviour of microdischarges in air-fed ozonizers is investigated experimentally and theoretically. High-speed streak and single-picture photographs as well as precise current measurements reveal details in the discharge development, which are modelled by a quasi two-dimensional numerical simulation. The modelling is based on the solution of a system of continuity equations in connection with the Poisson equation. Space charge effects have been taken into account. The results of the modelling are compared with those of experiments. Fundamental features of microdischarges, which influence the properties of air-fed ozonizers are described.Keywords
