Ozone generators are systems that produce ozone by converting the breathing air into ozone gas with its own process. These generators can be used in all areas of life to increase the quality of life and disinfection. Ozone is a molecular atom formed by three oxygen atoms. It is chemically expressed as O3. It is a colorless gas. Ozone gas, which has a sharp and characteristic odor, also surrounds our world and prevents harmful sunlight that may come to living creatures. Ozone gas can be observed in pale blue at room temperature. If this gas exceeds the level of 0.12, it is considered harmful to human health. Ozone gas is widely used as an alternative disinfectant tool in developed countries, especially in areas such as water treatment, food, textile and logistics. This gas, which is obtained artificially with ozone generators, is very effective in killing microbes. In addition, it eliminates bad odors in the environment with its deodorizing feature. It is possible to provide complete and effective cleaning in the right areas with the right ozone generators.

Where Are Ozone Generators Used?

 It is used in all areas of life due to its low operating cost, providing full disinfection and also removing bad odors. If we give an example of usage areas: • Drinking water sterilization (Ozone gas is used in areas such as water treatment stations.)

• Air cleaning of indoor environments

• Disinfection of restaurants, cafes and patisseries

•Medical applications Sterilization of laboratory and laboratory instruments

• Water and other pool equipment used in swimming pools

• Disinfection of kindergartens and nurseries

. In addition, ozone cleaning is used in many areas such as food, health and energy.

How Do Ozone Generators Operate ?

The working principles of ozone generators that produce ozone gas by breaking down oxygen molecules in the air are listed as follows:

Silent Corona Discharge: It creates ozone gas as a result of splitting two-atom oxygen atoms with electrical discharges and bringing these atoms together. This technique constitutes the basic working principle of ozone generators.

Ultraviolet Radiation: The radiation emitted by the ultraviolet rays emitting from the sun causes the oxygen to split into atoms. For this reason, ozone formation is seen in the stratosphere. Working with a technique similar to this situation, ozone generators provide lower efficiency than ozone generators operating with corona discharge.

Ozone Generators Features

Ozone generators are divided into different models according to their usage areas and usage purposes. There are ozone generators that differ from each other in terms of working principle, design and also the energy consumed, especially the amount of ozone they produce per unit time.

The lifetime of each ozone generator differs from each other. Life on average; It varies depending on the conditions in which it is used. A simple ozone generator provides an average of five thousand hours of healthy use. This stated life expectancy can be further extended with regular maintenance and correct use.

The amount of ozone produced by ozone generators can range from 40 - 50 grams per hour to 70 - 80 kilograms per hour, depending on the generator type. In addition, the ozone concentration varies between 2% and 15%. Considering the application type and the amount of ozone to be produced, there are types of ozone generators that can meet the needs.

Spare parts and accessories are also very important in generators. Parts such as ozone gas concentration analyzer, ozone destruction unit and ozone leak detectors are among the most important parts that enable the system to work properly.

With the recent pandemic in the world, disinfection and hygiene systems have gained great importance and priority in our lives. There has been an increasing interest at industrial level in ozone generators and related products and complementary accessories. Disinfection systems are used in more than one area such as water treatment, cleaning, food, health, swimming pool applications. The confidence provided by the use of these systems, especially in the destruction and prevention of harmful organisms, is obvious.

Different principles or methods of application can be followed in disinfection systems. Ozone gas is the most actively used alternative among these disinfection processes. Depending on the demand or need in the areas where the application is made, ozone generators with the most suitable capacity for that environment are preferred. It is very important to precisely control the amount of ozone and to determine its values ​​in order to ensure that the system works without interruption.
