An operational principle of discharge elements applied in ozonizers- chemical plasma reactors for silent discharge generation has been discussed. An analysis of phenomena occurring in ozone synthesis reactors has been presented and on that basis requirements to be met in order to obtain the highest efficiency of an ozone synthesis process have been formulated. The principal quantitative factors that characterize an ozone generation process are the following: energy consumption, concentration of the obtained ozone, and material efficiency of the process. The effect of the applied dielectric material, reaction zone volume, and the design of electrodes on the process efficiency has been experimentally tested. Along with the testing, an analysis of the ozone synthesis kinetics in the conditions that resemble the operation of an industrial installation has been done. The course of the synthesis of nitrogen oxides in an ozonizer fed with air and in the conditions of a big power load has also been analyzed. Dependences of the concentration of individual nitrogen oxides on the specific energy in a discharge zone have been obtained. From among a number of factors responsible for high energy consumption during the ozone synthesis process it is an irreversible change of part of electrical energy into heat and an unproductive heating up of a substrate gas in a discharge gap that are the most important ones. The following factors can have advantageous effect on the reduction of energy losses: a discharge gap of a smaller size, an adequate type of the applied electrode, and the kind of gas introduced to the reactor (air or oxygen).
