Over time, the air in industrial and residential premises becomes polluted and acquires an unpleasant odor under the influence of human activity. A device such as an ozonizer helps to purify the air and saturate it with ozone.
Ozonizer concept
An ozonizer is a device that saturates the air with ozone. This chemical element is extremely unstable and can degrade in just a few minutes after formation. Moreover, for such a short existence, ozone almost completely decomposes and modifies the entire composition of the atmospheric air. Thus, the effect of ozone is comparable to a kind of chemical vacuum cleaner. It is for these purposes that such a household electrical appliance as an ozonizer is used.
The ozonizer, which is used to refresh the air in various rooms, has a simple principle of operation. An electrical voltage is applied to two parallel plates, which creates a discharge. Acting on oxygen molecules, an electric charge leads to their decomposition into atomic oxygen, which, when combined with molecular oxygen, forms ozone. Just a few minutes after starting the appliance, the composition of the air in the room changes and takes on a pleasant fresh smell. It is comparable to the specific aroma in the air after a thunderstorm. Ozonizers effectively eliminate the smell of smoke, paint materials after renovation and simply help to ventilate rooms without having to leave windows open all day.
Distinctive features of the ozonizer
Ozonizers are sometimes confused with ionizers, but, in fact, they are completely different devices. The ionizer enriches air molecules with an additional negative electrical charge, but even the most advanced models are unable to generate ozone. This component is a very strong oxidizing agent and is extremely toxic even in low concentrations. It is used in industrial synthesis (for example, to obtain succinic acid in the rubber industry), in therapy (ozone therapy). It is also used for the disinfection and purification of drinking water (on river vessels) and industrial effluents that contain easily oxidized organic matter, and the use of traditional oxidants is undesirable for one reason or another.
The healing properties of ozone have been repeatedly proven by medical research. It is an effective prophylactic agent against various diseases, significantly improving the quality of life and even able to slow down aging. Ozone has a powerful disinfecting, disinfecting, oxidizing and detoxifying effect, which is several times superior to other known agents with a similar spectrum of action.
