This model is ideally suited for enclosures up to 3000 cubic feet in area. This model can be applicable to very small spaces if controlled with a cycle timer to sequence operation periods. The UVO3NAIR ozone generator is ideally suited for small enclosed grow spaces. It utilizes a lamp source which bombards oxygen molecules with ultraviolet light, causing them to mutate into the tri-oxygen form, known as ozone. A small fan directs air past the lamp and out into the air mix. Immediately the ozone begins to neutralize odors and pollutants. As this oxidization occurs, the ozone reverts back into oxygen. Ozone also acts as an ionizer. The negative ions attach themselves to a positively charged dust or smoke molecule causing them to fall to the floor. At the same time, the ozonator will help restore the natural negative/positive ion balance in the air. Ozone is unstable and has a half life of only about 30 minutes. For this reason it must be continuously produced to maintain a constant level. This model is the best suited for small areas. A suitable enclosure would be 3000 cubic feet for weak odors, down to 800 for stronger odors. Great for hobbyists or use in your home. We have all experienced the exhilarating effects and clean fresh aroma of the air after a thunder storm. The spice of this fragrance is ozone. Ozone occurs in nature as a result of many environmental circumstances, certainly lightning being one of the most significant. Ozone plays a very important role in the maintenance of our atmosphere. Ozone is also created as ultraviolet light passes into the earth's stratosphere. Ozone is natures way of cleaning the air. It only makes sense that we should use the same principles to our own advantage. When electrical charges pass through an oxygen atmosphere, stable pairs of oxygen (O2) molecules are ripped apart and reform as a slightly modified form of oxygen, whereas it becomes ozone (O3). A negatively charged ion is formed when an electron attaches itself to an oxygen molecule. Having acquired a third oxygen atom it becomes a strong oxidant, which is highly reactive with hydrocarbons and other such unsaturated molecules. Ozone will act readily to oxidize these types of organic matter. These molecules include such pollutants as chemical fumes, smoke, trepans, and many other such gases. Ozone destroys with extreme efficiency the spores of moulds, amoebae, mildew, virusesand bacterium, as well as a variety of pathogenic and saprophytic germs. These microorganisms are protected within an outer membrane or shell. These membranes are composed of proteins which readily degrade in the presence of ozone. Without this protective coating the organism dies leaving only oxygen in it's place. Levels of 0.1 PPM have been found to be sufficient to kill most pathogens. In addition to the suppression of moulds, viruses and bacterium, ozone provides a germicidal effect, aiding in the healing of plant wounds and enhancing resistance to infection. These unsat
