Research on corona discharges from plasma generators has been studied using the line-plane configurations (L-PC). The purpose of this study is to calculate the comparison of the level of conformity of the voltage current characteristic curve (I–V) from the simulation results of numerical calculations of the electrode geometry function and the results of experimental data. There is an electrode (electrode 1) in the form of a rectangular plate with a very thin thickness which has a length and width of a and b respectively in an upright position (line configuration). Electrode 1 has a distance of c to electrode 2 which is in a lying position (plane configuration) below the electrode 1. Furthermore, by using variation of c of 2.5 cm, 2.8 cm, 3.1 cm and 3.4 cm, the two electrodes are connected to the plasma generating equipment, thus producing a plasma discharge that comes out of the tip of the electrode 1 towards electrode 2. Research results from all variations of c prove that there is a high degree of suitability between numerical calculations with experimental data by taking the value of the fitting for the sharpness shape factor of k in the area with the largest plasma discharge.

<p>This paper presents a characterization of an integrated ozone generator constructed by seven of reactors of Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma (DBDP). DBDP a has spiral-cylindrical configuration. Silence plasma produced ozone inside the DBDP reactor was generated by AC-HV with voltage up to 25 kV and maximum frequency of 23 kHz. As a source of ozone, dry air was pumped into the generator and controlled by valves system and a flowmeter. We found ozone concentration increased with the applied voltage, but in contrary, the concentration decreased with the flow rate of dry air. It was also found that a maximum concentration was 20 mg/L and ozone capacity of 48 g/h with an input power of 1.4 kW. Moreover, in this generator, IP efficiency of 8.13 g/kWh was obtained at input power 0.45 kW and air flow rate of 9 L/min. Therefore, be the higher ozone capacity can be produced with higher input power; however, it provided lower IP efficiency. The effect of dry air flow rate and applied voltage on ozone concentrations have been studied. At last, spiral wire copper was very corrosive done to the interaction with ozone, and it is necessary to do a research for finding the best metals as an active electrode inside of the quartz dielectric.
