The amount of ozone a generator produces varies depending on whether it uses air or oxygen as a feed gas.
Ozone generators don't produce a fixed amount; instead, they generate ozone as a percentage by weight (wt. %). The specific output depends on the feed gas and the system size:
- Air-fed ozone generators: Typically produce 2-3 wt. % ozone, with a maximum capability of up to 4 wt. % ozone.
- Oxygen-fed ozone generators: Can produce a higher concentration, typically 6-10 wt. % ozone, and potentially ranging from 6-15 wt. % ozone.
Ozone Production by Feed Gas Type
| Feed Gas | Ozone Production (wt. %) | Typical Ozone Production (wt. %) |
|---|---|---|
| Air | Up to 4 | 2-3 |
| Oxygen | 6-15 | 6-10 |
System Size and Oxygen Source
- Smaller systems commonly utilize air feed or oxygen derived from Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA).
- Larger systems often employ Liquid Oxygen (LOX) as their oxygen source.
