The main function of ozone generator

Ozone generator is a device used to produce ozone gas (O3), a good production and life tool, which can effectively improve the safety and quality of healthy products such as food, medicine, cosmetics, and improve human health. Ozone generators can be used in food Workshop disinfection.

Ozone is easy to decompose and cannot be stored, so it needs to be prepared and used on site (in special cases, it can be stored for a short time), so any place where ozone can be used requires an ozone generator. Ozone generators are widely used in drinking water, sewage, industrial oxidation, food processing and freshness preservation, space sterilization and other fields. The ozone gas generated by the ozone generator can be used directly or can be used to participate in the reaction through mixing devices and liquids. Let’s further understand the ozone generator from the principle of action, main functions, advantages and operating procedures of ozone generators.

The main function of ozone generator

1. Sterilization and disinfection

Studies have shown that ozone is a broad-spectrum, efficient and fast bacterial agent. It can quickly kill various bacteria, viruses and microorganisms that cause diseases in humans and animals. Ozone is a substance with very strong oxidation. Using its oxidation properties, it can destroy the biological structures of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in a short period of time, and the ozone generator makes it lose its ability to survive. There are many other compounds that use oxidation to kill microorganisms to achieve sterilization effects, such as common chlorine, bleaching powder, potassium permanganate, etc. However, these fungicides are not only slower than ozone sterilization, but also generally are harmful to the human body.

2. Detoxification

Ozone can effectively remove toxic gases through oxidation reactions, such as C0, S02, mustard gas, etc. Ozone dissolved in water can be oxidized and decomposed to effectively remove toxic substances in water such as heavy metal ions, organic toxic substances, cyanides, sulfides, and pesticides such as DDT, Oxygen, Mala Sulfuric acid.

3. Protect and protect freshness

Due to the strong killing effect of ozone on bacteria and microorganisms, ozone generator machines can treat meat and other foods with ozone water to achieve the effects of anti-corrosion, elimination of odor and preservation. While ozone is produced, a large number of negative ions can also be produced. Some negative ions in the air can effectively inhibit the respiration of fruits and vegetables and delay their metabolic process. At the same time, ozone can kill pathogens that cause fruit and vegetable rot, and decompose metabolic wastes that have ripening effects such as ethylene, alcohols, aldehydes, aromatics and other substances produced during fruit and vegetable storage. In this way, under the action of ozone and negative ions, the metabolism of fruits and vegetables and the breeding and spread of microbial pathogens are inhibited, thereby delaying their subsequent ripening and aging, preventing them from rotting and deteriorating, and achieving the effect of preserving freshness. Studies have shown that ozone can extend the storage period of food, beverages and fruits and vegetables by 3-10 times.

4. Deodorizing and odor removal

Ozone generator equipment, the main components that cause odor and rotten smell in nature are ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, etc. Ozone can undergo chemical reaction with them to oxidize and decompose it into non-toxic Odorless substances, thus achieving deodorization effect.
