Sterilizer Buffer Tank Ozone Diffusibility

A buffer tank is introduced as an intermediary component between the ozone generator and the sterilization chamber. The buffer tank stores ozone gas and enables controlled injection into the chamber, improving ozone gas diffusibility without requiring a larger ozone generator. This mediator allows the system to achieve better gas distribution while maintaining a compact apparatus configuration.

Ozone gas is prepared in advance by filling the buffer tank with ozone gas before the actual sterilization process. This preliminary action allows the ozone gas to be ready for injection when needed, improving the efficiency and diffusibility of ozone gas delivery without requiring continuous high-output generation, thus avoiding apparatus size increase.

The buffer tank serves as a mediator that decouples the ozone generation process from the injection process. Instead of requiring a high-output generator to continuously produce ozone, the system generates ozone at a lower rate, stores it in the buffer tank, and then injects it as needed. This maintains sterilization efficiency while avoiding the need for a large high-output generator.

The system performs preliminary ozone generation and storage in the buffer tank before the injection phase. This allows the use of a lower-output generator that operates for a longer duration to fill the buffer, rather than requiring a high-output generator to deliver all ozone at once. The preliminary preparation maintains sterilization effectiveness while reducing apparatus size.
