Ozone (O3) is sometimes called "activated oxygen", it contains three atoms of oxygen rather than the two atoms we normally breathe. Ozone reacts with other gases (smells) and destroys them. As ozone oxidizes/disinfects, it destroys odours, harmful bacteria and contaminants, then reverts to normal oxygen. Ozone is an environmentally friendly alternative to many chemical processes. By applying a electrical discharge to oxygen gas, the oxygen molecules (O2) will be split into atoms. Ozone (O3) is formed by recombination of atomic and molecular oxygen. Stronger odours mean more odour molecules present - therefore more ozone is also needed. Ozone will not filter odours - It destroys them!
Advantages of the SCHOON air cleaner:
- 100% air purification All odours will be destroyed.
- Compact / portable No longer carrying large and heavy filters. The air cleaner can also be used in cutting (harvest) areas. For temporary cutting (harvest) areas it is often difficult to remove all odours. Normal extractor installations are too big and sprays do not remove all odours. The air cleaner in combination with even a small extractor can solve the odour issue.
- Long lifetime Carbon filters get saturated, because they filter polluted air. So they have to be replaced frequently. The SCHOON air cleaner does not get saturated, because it does not filter air, but destroys odours.
- No side effects on relative humidity of the air It can occur that the relative humidity of the air gets too high. Carbon filters will not function any more and actually should be replaced. The air cleaner also functions at high humid air and does not need to be replaced. So the air cleaner is very well suitable for dying areas.
- Easy to install The air cleaner can easily be installed in existing installations.
- Low power consumption The air cleaner has a very low power consumption, maximum 50W.
- Low cost Similar ozone installations often cost thousands of euros. And are not easy to install in existing installations.
