Abstract

An ozone concentration measuring device based on the Paschen curve shift in a corona discharge gap has been developed. The device enables measurement of ozone concentrations in the range of 1 to 40 mg/l. The cyclic measurement time ranges from 1 to 10 minutes. Current-voltage characteristics of a coaxial discharge tube with a thin anode (platinum wire) were measured at atmospheric pressure. A PIC18F2550 microcontroller-based controller manufactured by Microchip Technology Inc. controls the ozone meter. This novel device can be used to measure the concentration of any gas in air, provided it is properly calibrated.
