The <strong>Quad Head OC-7 Pump<\/strong> is designed specifically for these demanding scenarios, offering durable construction, reliable performance, and ozone-resistant materials to ensure safe and effective operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Engineered for Ozone Applications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>OC-Series compressors<\/strong>, including the OC-7, are uniquely suited for ozone-related use. With <strong>either Aluminum or 316 Stainless Steel heads<\/strong> and <strong>3-ply Teflon diaphragms<\/strong>, the wetted materials are fully resistant to the corrosive nature of ozone gas at any concentration. Whether you&#8217;re working with air-fed or oxygen-fed ozone generators, the OC-7 is built to last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key Specifications:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Capacity<\/strong>: Eccentric \u2013 0.222<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wetted Materials<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Head: Aluminum or 316 Stainless Steel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diaphragm: 3-Ply Teflon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Motor<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Type: TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power: 1\/2 HP<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Voltage: 115V<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequency\/Phase: 60 Hz, 1 Ph<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Important Considerations for Ozone Compression<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Heat and Ozone Stability<\/strong><br>Compression generates heat\u2014and <strong>heat destroys ozone<\/strong>. As ozone is compressed, the resulting heat can reduce ozone concentration. When designing a system that includes compression, consider increasing your ozone production to compensate for any loss during the pressurization process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Pressure and Vacuum Load<\/strong><br>If your application involves <strong>both vacuum and pressure<\/strong>, be sure to factor both forces into your compressor selection. The OC-Series compressors are capable of handling these dynamic loads, but proper sizing is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Material Selection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Stainless Steel heads<\/strong> are ideal for <strong>air-fed ozone generators<\/strong> due to better corrosion resistance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Aluminum heads<\/strong>, while not recommended for air-fed ozone systems, <strong>dissipate heat better<\/strong>, which helps preserve ozone concentration during pressurization and are suitable for oxygen-fed systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Restart Capabilities<\/strong><br>These compressors can <strong>re-start under pressure<\/strong>, but with limitations. For applications where pressure build-up is frequent, please <strong>contact us for guidance<\/strong> on system design and compressor performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Common OC-7 Applications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pulling ozone from a vacuum-driven generator and air dryer<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boosting ozone pressure for lab or pilot-scale testing<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Filling ozone contact tanks or small vessels<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Injecting ozone gas into pressurized water lines when a venturi isn\u2019t viable<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pushing ozone into force-mains in wastewater treatment systems<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>System Examples<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Vacuum-Driven Ozone Generator with Compressor Boost<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using a <strong>vacuum-driven air dryer<\/strong>, ozone is efficiently produced from dry air. The <strong>OC-7 Pump<\/strong> then pulls this ozone and pushes it to the point of use. This configuration is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cost-effective<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scalable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ideal for small-to-medium ozone injection systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Ozone for Wastewater Force-Mains<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wastewater lift stations often have <strong>pressurized force-mains<\/strong> where ozone is injected to control odors and reduce corrosion from <strong>hydrogen sulfide (H\u2082S)<\/strong>. These systems often operate at pressures <strong>above 50 PSI<\/strong>, requiring the use of a <strong>boost compressor like the OC-7<\/strong>. By increasing ozone pressure above line pressure, ozone can be effectively delivered into the force-main without chemical injection pumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Quad Head OC-7 Pump<\/strong> is a vital tool for safely and effectively pressurizing ozone gas in a wide variety of industrial and environmental applications. With ozone-compatible materials, robust motor power, and thoughtful design, it offers a flexible and durable solution for systems that require both vacuum and pressure capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
