Ozone monitor makes for clean and safe\u00a0commercial kitchens<\/span><\/h3>\n

THE CUSTOMER<\/span><\/h3>\n

Exoair Master Limited provides a full range of kitchen ventilation services to commercial kitchens\u00a0across the UK and Northern Ireland. Geoff Allum established the business in 2004 and now leads\u00a0a fast growing, acknowledged market leader serving thousands of customers nationwide.
\nExoair specialises in the use of ozone treatment technology in commercial kitchen exhausts. By\u00a0reducing grease deposits within the canopy and extract ductwork, ozone treatment can reduce fire\u00a0risk. It also reduces the levels of odours experienced at the point of discharge, which is an\u00a0important consideration for the busy inner city kitchen.
\n\u201cThe ability of the Series 500 to produce reliable and repeatable ozone readings
\ntakes the guesswork out of installations, and boosts the engineer\u2019s and customer\u2019s
\nconfidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE PROBLEM<\/span><\/h3>\n

The regular removal of grease from kitchen ducts is a significant recurring maintenance cost and,\u00a0if not carried out regularly, poses a serious fire hazard. Exoair\u2019s system uses UV lamps to produce\u00a0just the right level of ozone to oxidise grease molecules in the exhaust.
\nHowever, too much ozone would result in discharge of ozone from the exhaust, which could be\u00a0harmful to human health. Whilst the World Health Organisation sets a long term ozone exposure\u00a0limit of <0.05ppm, Geoff says Exoair sets its own maximum ozone discharge limit at just 0.04ppm,\u00a0(that\u2019s 40 parts per billion).
\nIn addition, the amount of ozone required varies. Low amounts are needed during start up and low\u00a0cooking loads, but large amounts are needed for periods of high cooking intensity, particularly\u00a0when rich or spicy food is being cooked. Therefore close control of ozone is needed according to\u00a0the stage of cooking cycle.\u00a0Setting up the system requires accurate measurement of discharged\u00a0ozone. Repeatability is critical, as the readings are relied upon to\u00a0establish the effects of different settings. Geoff had previously tried\u00a0several different makes of ozone monitor and found that whilst they might\u00a0read correctly at first, they would be swamped by ozone and for several\u00a0hours afterwards would not register changes in the ozone level as it fell.<\/p>\n

THE SOLUTION<\/span><\/h3>\n

Geoff contacted Aeroqual\u2019s UK-based ozone equipment partner Advanced Ozone Products\u00a0Limited (AOzP) looking for a solution. Through discussions with AOzP about the application it was\u00a0agreed that Aeroqual\u2019s Series 500 handheld data logging monitor with 0 to 0.5ppm ozone sensor\u00a0head would provide the accuracy and repeatability required.\u00a0Not only can instantaneous ozone levels be read from the Series 500\u2019s large digital display, they
\ncan also be logged to the on-board memory for analysis back at the office. The recordings form an\u00a0objective record of the ozone levels produced on site and become part of the \u00a0commissioning files.\u00a0Furthermore, the design of the monitor means that the plug-in sensor head can be quickly and\u00a0easily replaced to maintain calibration, with other plug-in sensor heads allowing a variety of\u00a0concentration ranges and gases other than ozone to be monitored.<\/p>\n

EVALUATION<\/span><\/h3>\n

Geoff and his engineers find the monitor very easy and quick to use. He says, \u201cThe first time we\u00a0used the Aeroqual Series 500 it provided such solid readings.\u201d Rather than get stuck displaying a\u00a0high reading following exposure to ozone, the Series 500 quickly tracks the level of ozone down as\u00a0the concentration decreases.\u00a0Even more important is the repeatability, with the same results being obtained when the process is\u00a0repeated, and also when comparing the results from two instruments. Repeatability gives the\u00a0engineer a solid foundation for adjustment decisions and instils confidence in the process. The\u00a0Series 500 is even used to check customers\u2019 own monitors when they complain of spurious ozone\u00a0readings.
\nThe data logging feature works particularly well not only as a record of the engineer\u2019s findings but\u00a0also to show trending when tuning the system. Apart from removing the guesswork from this\u00a0process the Series 500 is also an invaluable maintenance tool in determining when key\u00a0components need replacing. Customers are more ready to have expensive UV lamps replaced\u00a0when there is evidence they are not producing sufficient ozone rather than just due to hours of run\u00a0time.
\nRecently the monitor\u2019s time-stamped data logging capability was used to identify the source of an\u00a0ozone leak in London\u2019s Canary Wharf that occurred only at night. Not surprisingly, Geoff has\u00a0nothing but praise for Aeroqual\u2019s monitor. He advises, \u201cIf you want an ozone measurement\u00a0instrument, get Aeroqual \u2013 nothing else compares.\u201d<\/p>\n
