Abstract
ABSTRACT Potential variation of rectification is studied in full ozonizers over a wide range of pressure ranging from 6 to 350 mm of Hg using a supply frequency of 50 cycles per sec. The behaviour of a full ozonizer, in general, is in variance with that of a semiozonizer (or Maze counter). Only in the range of small values of pτ does it seem to be somewhat similar. Deductions made from the theory of rectification as regards the magnitude and sign of rectification in full ozonizer discharge are in fair agreement with the experimental results. It is found that the activated layers formed on glass walls backed by the external electrodes not only play an important role in the mechanism of starting positive as well as negative discharges, but they also completely overshadow the effect of electrode asymmetry in determining the sign and extent of rectification in full ozonizers. Also, the theory is successfully applied to explain Chiplonkar's results on rectification in Geissler tubes.
