ABSTRACT
Volume Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) is nowadays considered the most effective way for ozone generation in the industry. Some papers were published only on surface discharge reactors applied for ozone generation. This article describes an experimental investigation for the comparison between these two reactor types of ozone generation. Two surface and volume DBD reactors of cylindrical shape were used in the same experimental conditions. Obtained results showed that although the majority of ozone generators are of volume discharge type, the surface DBD presents significant superiority in terms of ozone generation and energy efficiency.
