Common Applications

1. Pulling Ozone Gas from an Ozone Generator

A vacuum-driven air-fed ozone generator can efficiently produce ozone from dry air. An ozone compressor, such as the OC-Series, facilitates pulling ozone gas from the generator, offering flexibility and potential cost savings compared to higher-pressure ozone systems.

2. Boosting Low Ozone Pressures for Lab or Small-Scale Testing

In lab or small-scale testing scenarios where vessels or tanks need to be filled, the OC-Series ozone compressors prove valuable by boosting low ozone pressures, ensuring precise control over ozone levels.

3. Pushing Ozone Gas into Pressurized Water Lines

For applications where a venturi is not suitable, such as home water systems, the ozone compressor can effectively push ozone gas into pressurized water lines, providing an alternative solution for water treatment.

4. Ozone Applications in Wastewater Force-Main

Utilizing ozone gas in force-mains within wastewater systems is a common practice for odor and corrosion control. The OC-Series compressors can boost ozone pressures to levels suitable for force-main applications, optimizing wastewater treatment processes.

Considerations and Tips

• Heat Generation: Ozone is sensitive to heat, and the operation of the compressor generates heat. Users should consider this factor and may need to compensate for potential ozone concentration losses by increasing the ozone production rate.
• Material Selection: The OC-Series compressors offer options with aluminum and stainless steel heads. It’s crucial to select the appropriate material based on the type of ozone generator used, as aluminum is susceptible to corrosion in air-fed ozone generators.
• Pressure Considerations: When the compressor is used to boost pressure, factors like pressure differentials must be considered, especially when reviewing performance charts.
• Restart Under Pressure: The OC-Series compressors are designed to restart under pressure, but users should be aware of limitations. For specific queries, it’s advisable to contact the manufacturer.

In conclusion, the OC-Series ozone compressors from Air Dimensions are versatile tools catering to diverse ozone applications. Whether you are working in a laboratory setting, water treatment facility, or wastewater management, choosing the right ozone compressor ensures efficient and reliable ozone utilization.
