Abstract : This study investigates the effect of voltage-current characteristics on medical ozone production and apparent specific energy input in a Double Dielectric Barrier Discharge plasma generator using aluminum mesh electrodes. The experiments were conducted by varying the operating voltage from 0.5 to 3.3 kV and the oxygen flow rate from 0.2 to 0.8 L/min. The results indicate that the voltage-current (V-I) characteristics and power consumption follow a strong quadratic increasing trend, signifying the onset of stable filamentary microdischarges upon exceeding the breakdown voltage.

Keywords : Double Dielectric Barrier Discharge, Aluminum Mesh Electrode, Ozone Concentration, Ozone Production Capacity, Apparent Specific Energy Input, Medical Ozone.
