United
States Patented Ozone Elements
Designed by a
team of international engineers, Air-Zone's
ozone
generation elements have received a patent from the U.S. Patent office.
A
U.S. Patent takes years of research and engineering design submissions
to obtain. Over 95% of patent applications are rejected!!!
It
is extremely difficult to receive a U.S. patent as the inventor must prove
it is a different and new design.
It
took our engineers over 10 years to design these new ozone elements, and
what they have invented is state of the art.
Our
engineers designs are light years ahead of any other ozone technology available
today.
Almost
every other high powered ozone generator produced today uses basically
the same system;
A
transformer that supplies a high voltage to two screens separated by a
piece of non-conductive material such as glass or mica. Some use screens,
some use rods or tubes.
Basically
it is the same system in different forms. These systems can produce high
amounts of ozone, but they have some inherent problems.
First:
these same plate designs have been used for over 100 years!
Thomas
Edison used this exact method to produce ozone in 1900, before they
even had instruments to measure ozone!
Second:
the ozone plates or screens must be perfectly aligned to produce the maximum
amount of ozone they are designed for. If the grids are not aligned properly
ozone production drastically drops. If the grids are too close to each
other the high voltage will arc from one grid to another. Ozone production
gets lower and lower, and eventually the transformer blows out from overload.
The
plates often have to be completely removed and fully cleaned. Then they
have to be reassembled by the users in a perfect manner for them to work
properly.
Third;
These
old fashioned screens, or plates must constantly be cleaned to work at
maximum efficiency. If allowed to remain dirty the plates arc across the
buildup of gunk and the transformer again blows out. Our patented ozone
elements are designed to resist dirt buildup and not have these problems.
We
think it too much to ask that every one of our customers become an ozone
engineer, and have to deal with all these problems.
All
you have to do with our patented ozone elements is replace the inexpensive
air intake filter on the outside of the unit from time to time.
The
elements may also be blown out with air to remove any visible dust. We
think this is a lot easier than removing, cleaning, and perfectly reassembling
all the components of each plate.
Our
patented ozone elements are in a completely sealed housing so that there
is absolutely no adjustments required.
There
are no other corona elements like them available anywhere. Our patented
ozone elements are in a sealed non-adjustable housing so that their alignment
is always perfect.
This
is a far supierior element design than ANY other ozone generator manufacturer
has.
Due
to their design they resist accumulating dirt. When they do burn out, and
ALL ozone producing elements eventually will, they are extremely cheap
and easy to replace.
If
an element burns out it can be replaced by almost anyone with a screwdriver
in about 5 minutes. You simply remove the front cover, slide the old element
out and disconnect the wires. You then connect the wires to the new element,
slide it back into it's slot, and screw the cover back on. No alignment,
no assembly, no hassle. They are also very economical to replace
costing about $5.00 per year of use.
There
are no adjustments, zero nitrogen oxides,
nor is their any major cleaning required of them. As long as the air intake
filter is replaced occasionally these elements will last for years. The
air filters cost only pennies.
Any
unit without a dust filter will get dirty, and is destined to fail.
This
is 21st century design when every other ozone company is still using 19th
century designs!!
Our
replacement elements are also extremely low priced, and they only cost
pennies per each month of use.
Some
companies berate our patented ozone elements for being disposable. They
are disposable and they are designed that way so the customer can replace
these inexpensive ozone elements in minutes.
Our
patented ozone elements also last as long or longer than any other ozone
elements produced anywhere.
Old
fashioned ozone plates with their 100 year old design are now considered
archaic. Manufacturers continue to use them because they are extremely
cheap to produce, or they have no idea of how to make a better plate. Other
companies don't even understand how our ozone elements work!
Ozone
Output Per Dollar
Air-Zone
offers the highest ozone output per dollar of any ozone generator brand.
The only way to compare ozone generators is by the output in milligrams
per hour (mg.hr.). No other company offers as much ozone as we do for as
low a price as we do. Combined with our features of Patented Ozone Elements,
and the convenience of remote control, there is simply no better ozone
generator value available today.
True
Ozone Outputs
All
Air-Zone
ozone generators have had their ozone outputs independently measured by
SGS,
the worlds leading verification, testing, and certification company. The
world respected Société
Générale de Surveillance otherwise known as SGS.
SGS
provides true certifications that cannot, on their companies well respected
reputation, be called into question.
Many
other ozone companies simply test their own machines under questionable
conditions and their mg/hr output levels of ozone might not be quite accurate.
We
know of one competitors 10,000 mg/hr rated machine that barely puts out
8000 mg/hr.
You
may run across a company that tells you they have measured our machines
and our ozone outputs did not measure up to what we state they are.
That's why we use the independant tests from SGS
that cannot be called into question. Be sure an ask them which independant
organization has tested their machines.
Proper
Levels of Ionization
Too Much Ionization Turns
Walls Black!
Ion
Generators simply negatively charge the air's ions so that floating
dust particles will cling to a surface in the room, much in the way static
electricity does. They are toys compared to real ozone generators.
There are quite a few
problems associated with ion generators. To
do air cleaning, meaning removing pollutants, you need a very large amount
of ions. More than has been recognized as a safe level.
According to air science, indoor air has 100 to 200 ions per cubic
cm, outdoor fresh air has 200 to 500 ions per cubic cm, and a fresh
clean forest will have 1,500 to 5,000 ions per cubic cm.
Ion
generators typically produce more than 1,000,000 to 10,000,000 negative
ions per cubic cm. Some machines even boast an output of 500 trillion negative
ions per cubic cm! This is simply too much.
Air-Zone's
ozone generators produce negative ions of about 10,000 to 30,000 per cubic
cm. Therefore, the amount of negative ions output from our ozone generators
is good enough for giving indoor air that fresh clean smell, and yet is
not too much as to be irritating to your eyes, lungs, and throat.
Overuse
of negative ionization pushes dust particles to the walls and floor. In
fact for ionization to be truly effective, ionizers must generate so many
ions that they cause headaches and sore throats.
More
is not always better!
The
fact is even with this overabundance of ionization there is only limited,
temporary air cleaning
being done and ZERO Air
Purifying being
accomplished. Nothing is being killed by the ions. Nothing is being
Purified.
In
other words ionizers are simply pushing around
the
floating dirt to the surfaces in your room!
Too Much Ionization Will
Turn Walls Black!
The problem with this
is that the same dust can be kicked right back into the air for you to
breathe. The dirt that does not begin to float again will stick to whatever
surface is close. After a few months walls, floors, appliances, and furniture
begin to build up a layer of dirt on them. If you put an ionizer on a table
near a wall, the wall will develop a black halo of dirt in just a couple
of days!
Realize that what all
so-called "air cleaning" ionizers do is limited
to pushing around lightweight particles of dust. They cannot effectively
kill
odors.
For removing odors, and
light dust only
OZONE works the best by killing
offending the organisms.
If
in fact you have severe dust problems it is much better to collect
dust in a true HEPA
filter rather than have an ionizer create a film of dirt on your household
surfaces. We also offer a high quality line of the worlds best HEPA
filters for serious dust & dander problems.
If
dust and odors are present, a combination of an ozone generator
and a HEPA filter
are
the best method of dealing with these problems.

Zero
Nitrogen Oxides
Nitrogen
Oxides are a by product of every other corona
discharge ozone generation system available today. These gases are undesired
and have even been found to be dangerous to living beings. Some ozone generation
systems put out an extremely high amount of these gases.
Old
fashioned corona ozone plates produce high amounts of Nitrogen
Oxides. These oxides are irritating to breathe,
and are claimed to possibly be dangerous. Nitrogen
Oxides have no desired place in ozone production.
Air-Zone
conducted a world wide search until we found a better, and safer way to
produce ozone.
Air-Zone's
Patented Ozone Elements put out ZERO NITROGEN
OXIDES.
Other
manufacturers claim that this is not possible, but they do not understand
our technology, nor do they hold our engineer's patent.
