An analytical model for ozone concentration calculation, previously described in [1,2], is applied to an oxygen-fed DBD cylindrical ozonizer. It is shown that this model can be applied to DC or DBD discharges, using an appropriate temperature law in the reaction zone. The ozone concentration, the overall parameters for ozone formation and destruction, the specific energy and the economical criterion are presented as functions of the ozonizer geometry, the electric power, the fluid flow, the temperature and the pressure. These results are compared to industrial data and a good agreement is observed.
