The new ozone monitor. Final report
This report describes the development of an invention for measuring the concentration of ozone by measuring the heat evolved when the ozone is catalyzed and converted back to oxygen. This ozone monitor evolved through a number of prototype as described in the final report. The final instrument is accurate, reliable and can be installed as a part of a control system. This instrument can be built and calibrated for any necessary specific ozone concentration range. This instrument uses inexpensive parts and would be simple to maintain. the manufacturing cost is less than any equally reliable and accurate ozone monitor presently available. The advantage this system has is that the ozone is directly measured as the temperature of the catalyst. It does not need UV lamps (which continually degrade in use and have a variable life) or use any chemistry where a material is continuously used up. This new ozone monitor directly measures the heat that is generated from the ozone as it converts back into oxygen as the gas mixture flows through the catalyst. The catalyst has theocratically an infinite life. It can clog if the system it is installed in, is dusty. But in systems that produce ozone, it is important that the gas is clean. Under normal clean gas conditions this instrument will give long term service free monitoring.
