When it comes to delivering ozone gas for your application, reliability and affordability often top the list of priorities. The OC-P1 Single Head Compressor is a practical, budget-friendly solution designed specifically for low-flow, low-concentration ozone gas applications.
Whether you need to pump ozone gas or increase ozone gas pressure in a controlled and efficient manner, the OC-P1 offers dependable performance while maintaining a modest footprint.
What Is the OC-P1?
The OC-P1 is a piston-driven ozone gas compressor, engineered with durable components including a stainless steel head, PTFE seals, and hard-coated anodized aluminum parts. It’s a non-lubricated, oil-less compressor, making it safe for ozone use while keeping maintenance to a minimum.
While it’s not designed for high-output or high-concentration applications, the OC-P1 performs exceptionally well under the right conditions—providing pressures up to 30 PSI for ozone streams with concentrations under 5% by weight.
Ideal Use Cases
The OC-P1 is a great fit for:
- Low-pressure ozone delivery systems
- Compact or portable ozone systems
- Intermittent use or low-duty cycle setups
- Applications where ozone purity and low contamination are critical but high pressure isn’t required
Key Features
- Thin-walled, hard-coated anodized cylinder for durability
- PTFE piston seal – oil-free and safe for ozone
- Permanently lubricated ball bearings for long service life
- UL-recognized motor with thermal protection
- Balanced eccentric/connecting rod assembly – smoother operation
- Stainless steel valves and fasteners for corrosion resistance
- Die-cast aluminum construction – lightweight yet robust
- Epoxy e-coated wetted parts for ozone compatibility
- Oversized 9-blade fan ensures effective cooling
- Optional arc-formed valves available for enhanced performance
Performance Considerations & Limitations
While the OC-P1 is a low-cost and capable compressor, it’s important to understand its design limits to ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Maximum continuous pressure: 30 PSI
Exceeding this can cause ozone leakage through the piston seal. - Maximum ozone concentration (continuous use): 5% by weight
- Maximum ozone concentration (intermittent use): 10% by weight
Note: Unlike diaphragm compressors, the OC-P1 uses a piston with a PTFE ring. Over time, the seal can wear, especially under high pressure or high ozone concentrations. This can lead to reduced performance or leakage.
- Gas quality: Use dry ozone gas with a dew point of -40°F or lower
Moisture can degrade internal components and reduce the service life.
Conclusion: A Smart Choice for the Right Application
The OC-P1 Single Head Compressor delivers a compelling combination of affordability, simplicity, and compatibility for low-concentration ozone applications. If you’re operating a system where pressures remain under 30 PSI and ozone concentration stays within the recommended range, this compact compressor offers a reliable and efficient option.
For applications with higher pressure, greater flow, or higher ozone concentration, you may want to consider one of our diaphragm-style compressors or reach out to our team for guidance.
