The SP-5G (110V) Ozone Generator is a robust device designed for industrial ozone production. It utilizes Corona Discharge (CD) Technology to generate ozone, which is a powerful oxidizing agent used in various applications. The unit is air-cooled, ensuring stable operation and longevity.

Function Description

The primary function of the SP-5G (110V) Ozone Generator is to produce ozone from an air or oxygen source. Ozone is generated within the unit and then delivered to an application processor for its intended use. The device is equipped with a variable ozone output, allowing users to adjust the ozone concentration from 10% to 100% to suit specific needs. This flexibility makes it adaptable for different industrial processes requiring varying levels of ozone.

The ozone generation process begins with air or oxygen entering the "Air/Oxygen In Port" on the back of the unit. This port can be connected to an external air pump or an oxygen supply, such as an oxygen generator or tank, to enhance ozone production. The unit's internal fan draws in air for cooling and also contributes to the ozone production process. Once generated, the ozone exits through the "Ozone Out Port," which is designed for connection to PTFE tubing for safe and efficient delivery to the application.

A key aspect of the SP-5G's operation involves a venturi injector system (sold separately) which creates a vacuum to draw the ozone out of the generator and inject it into the piping system of the application. This ensures that the ozone is effectively delivered and integrated into the user's process. The unit does not have an internal pump, relying instead on this external suction mechanism.

Usage Features

The SP-5G (110V) Ozone Generator is designed for straightforward operation with several user-friendly features:

Power Control: The unit is powered on and off using a "Power Switch" located on the front panel. A "Power Light" illuminates when the unit is supplied with power, providing a clear visual indicator of its operational status.
Ozone Output Adjustment: The "Ozone Concentration Knob" allows for precise control over the percentage of ozone produced. Turning this knob clockwise increases the power to the ozone cells, thereby increasing ozone output.
Operational Status Indicators: An "Ozone Light" indicates when ozone is actively being produced, confirming that the generator is functioning as expected.
Monitoring Gauges: The front panel includes an "AMP Meter" that displays real-time amperage usage, allowing users to monitor the electrical load. A "Flow Meter" shows the suction amount created by the venturi injector, measured in Liters Per Minute (LPM), which is crucial for verifying proper ozone delivery.
Connectivity: The unit features a "Power Cord" connection for electrical supply and dedicated ports for air/oxygen intake and ozone output, facilitating easy integration into existing systems. PTFE tubing is provided for ozone delivery, known for its resistance to ozone.
Safety Features: The design includes a main fuse, located on the bottom panel, which serves as a primary safety measure against electrical overloads. Check valves are critical components in the ozone delivery system, preventing water backflow into the ozone generator, especially during system shutdowns. Two check valves are typically used: one near the ozone generator's outlet and another within the venturi injector.

Installation Considerations:

The SP-5G (110V) Ozone Generator should be installed in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. It is crucial to place the unit above water level to prevent backflow into the generator. The enclosure is not waterproof, so protection from direct weather and excessive heat is necessary. Mounting holes are provided on the back for convenient wall mounting, though hardware is not included. Maintaining an ambient temperature between 40°F and 100°F (4.5°C to 38°C) is essential for optimal performance and warranty validity; additional air cooling may be required in hotter environments. The use of a degasifier and ozone destructor system is required for safe and effective operation.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is vital for the longevity and efficient operation of the SP-5G (110V) Ozone Generator.

Air Filter Cleaning: The air filter, located on the bottom of the cabinet, is the air intake element for the cooling fan and requires frequent cleaning. Depending on the environment, it may need to be cleaned monthly. The cleaning process involves turning off the unit, removing the filter screen, washing it with soap and water, rinsing, drying completely, and then reinstalling it. In a clean environment, this procedure can be performed every three months. Failure to clean the filter regularly can lead to overheating and void the warranty. It is important to ensure the screen does not touch the fan blade upon reinstallation.
Check Valve Inspection and Replacement: The check valves in the ozone delivery line are critical for preventing water backflow. They should be inspected daily for proper functioning and replaced every 6 months to a year. This is particularly important during system shutdowns when backflow is most likely to occur.
Fuse Replacement: The unit is equipped with a 3 AMP fuse, located on the bottom panel. If the unit experiences a power issue, checking and replacing this fuse is a primary troubleshooting step.
Tubing Inspection: Regular inspection of the internal tubing for kinks is recommended to ensure unobstructed air and ozone flow.

Troubleshooting:

The manual provides guidance for troubleshooting common issues, such as the generator being on but not producing ozone, or producing air but not ozone. These steps include checking the power input, allowing the unit to dry if overheating or backflow is suspected, inspecting the main fuse, checking for kinks in the tubing, and verifying the status of indicator lights and control knob settings. For persistent problems, users are advised to contact customer support.

The SP-5G (110V) Ozone Generator is designed for industrial use and should be installed by a professional, adhering to all instructions and safety warnings provided in the manual.
