Frequently Asked Questions
A series of questions and answers relating to
the technology behind the Ecozone ozone generators.
Prior to operating the ozone generator, all people, pets, and plants (PPP) must be vacated from the room and all windows and doors should be closed. In any circumstances, exposure to ozone must be avoided.
Therefore, the ozone generator should be operated only by an authorized service person.
The Super ActivO machine has an enforced ozone destruction mechanism which ensures that upon completing the operation cycle the residual ozone is removed.
This allows people to reoccupy the treated room immediately.
Ecozone ozone generators are very effective in sanitation treatments because they produce high levels of ozone in high humidity conditions which are necessary for the eradication of bacteria and viruses.
Yes. Due to their high ozone production-rate, Ecozone ozone generators can perform
shock treatments in relatively large room volumes.
An ozone shock treatment is a fast treatment during which the ozone concentration inside
the treated room is in the range of 10-20 ppm. Shock treatments are frequently required in
sites that are heavily loaded with organic-based contaminants.
The ozone production-rate of Ecozone ozone generators is relatively very high because
most of the excitation energy (over 98%) is tuned and channeled to resonate only with
the oxygen molecules in the air and to break them apart. Thus, practically, no energy is
wasted on breaking up nitrogen molecules (which comprises about ~ 80% of the air) and
hence no nitrogen ions are produced and recombine with oxygen to form NOx byproducts.
(This is in contrast to other types of ozone generators which break up nitrogen molecules
and thus create high levels of NOx byproducts).
Unlike typical ozone generators which their ozone production-rate decreases with
increasing humidity in the air, Ecozones ozone generators produce ozone at a constant
rate – independent of the humidity level up to 95% R.H.
Ozone sanitation treatments which include the killing of bacteria and eradication of viruses
require high humidity conditions. Such high humidity levels are typically found in cold
storage rooms (for fruit, meat, and cheese) and in houses after a flood or after the extinguishing of a fire.
Yes, Ecozones ozone generators can operate in high humidity conditions up to 95% R.H.
This makes Ecozone machines particularly suitable for conducting ozone treatments at sites
with high humidity levels such as houses that are restored after fire or flood damage.
Ecozones Technology is special since it is the only technology that can provide high
ozone production-rate under any ambient air conditions even at high humidity levels.
