Ozone Generator
The ozone generator houses the ozone reaction chamber(s), power supply and all electrical components directly related
to the production of ozone. Ozone is produced when the feed gas is exposed to a high voltage electrical current inside
the reaction chamber.
Air Preparation
The ClearWater Tech ozone system may be equipped with a heat regenerative desiccant air dryer. Corona discharge
ozone generators are much more effective, produce more ozone and require far less maintenance if an air preparation
unit is included. The air preparation system lowers the dew point of the feed gas. Moist feed gas (air) will cause nitric
acid to form inside the generator which decreases ozone production and if not removed, causes corrosion and eventual
failure of the generator’s internal components. The ability of the ozone generator to produce ozone is drastically reduced
as the dew point rises above -60°C.
Injector Manifold
The ozone gas is injected into the ltered water return line by means of the injector manifold. This allows the ozone to be
injected into the water under a vacuum condition which is the safest technology available.
Contact Vessel (optional)
To maximize the effectiveness of ozone, it must be thoroughly mixed and have adequate time to react with the
contaminants in the water before being ltered or utilized. Contact vessels are designed to achieve this necessary
mixing and contact time. ClearWater Tech supplies several different types of contact vessels for a variety of applications.
Booster Pump (optional)
If excessive back pressure is created in the water line by lters, pressure tanks or other system parameters, a booster
pump may be necessary to create a sufcient pressure differential across the venturi. This booster pump is used in con-
junction with a side stream ozone injection loop.
Electrical Interlock Box (optional)
The electrical interlock box is a multi-function electrical enclosure. It houses the Motor Control Interlock (MCI), ORP
Interlock and the Vacuum Interlock. The enclosure also acts as the air preparation monitoring station, controlling the
amount of intake air and monitoring the vacuum.
