There was a lot of bouncing back and forth between switches, valves, and the HMI to correct faults. After<br>about 45 minutes of changing valve positions, we did not succeed. It came down to one O2 flow sensor that had failed (manufacture date of 2004).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We then moved on to the second generator. The valves were opened, power supply turned on, and after a brief 3 min purge of O2 the generator woke up from its years of<br>sleep. This was the first time in 2 years that ozone production had happened out of the \u201crelics\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex
