Tech Tip.<\/p>\n

Ozone Leak Detection is an inevitable part of operating any long term ozone system.\u00a0 As with any toxic gas used for industrial and commercial applications eventually fittings, piping, and parts will eventually fail, allowing that toxic gas, in this case ozone, to leak.\u00a0 What makes ozone slightly more challenging is the difficulty to measure ozone.\u00a0 Ozone detectors have to measure a oxidant that is slowly destroying the very sensor intended for finding the ozone gas.\u00a0 The short half life of ozone is also challenging.\u00a0 Now it is there, later it is not.\u00a0 Is there really a leak?<\/p>\n

Below is a link to an article written by Eco-Sensors a manufacturer of ozone sensors.<\/p>\n

Tips for Measuring Ozone in an Occupied Room<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are some helpful tips for finding ozone leaks:<\/p>\n

Use a high quality ozone sensor<\/strong>.\u00a0 To find an ozone leak use an ozone sensor that responds quickly to ozone.\u00a0 We suggest the C-16<\/a>, or the A-21ZX<\/a>.\u00a0 See information in hyper links for details.\u00a0 Both of these sensors will react quickly to ozone, and can help pinpoint the ozone leak.\u00a0 The C-16 uses a probe that can pinpoint exact location.\u00a0 This is our personal favorite ozone sensor.<\/p>\n

Turn down the ozone.\u00a0 <\/strong>The ozone level in the room can quickly become dangerously high limiting your time in the room to find the ozone leak.\u00a0 Try turning the ozone generator down to the lowest level to produce less ozone and give yourself more time.<\/p>\n

Turn off the ozone<\/strong>.\u00a0 It may be necessary to turn off the ozone all together.\u00a0 Keep your feed-gas operational but turn off the ozone generator.\u00a0 Use a bottle of soapy water, and some patience.\u00a0 you will eventually find the gas leaking by seeing bubbles forming near the fitting or piping.<\/p>\n

Use common sense.\u00a0<\/strong> If your still not winning the battle, step back and think this through.\u00a0 Where will ozone most likely be leaking?\u00a0 Are there any pipes or hoses that commonly have vibration or movement, these would be most likely to spring a leak.\u00a0 Are there components or fittings that have recently been opened?\u00a0 Concentrate your efforts on threaded fittings, and push type fittings.\u00a0 These are most common leaks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most of all take your time and be patient.<\/p>\n
