Why do some ozone generators have a short service life?

The operational environment of the ozone generator should ideally remain dry, as a clean gas source significantly enhances both the service life and efficiency of the ozone generator.

Many users assume that the stainless steel construction of the ozone generator provides sufficient protection against environmental oxidation, but this isn't entirely correct. Ozone possesses a stronger oxidizing capability than chlorine, which, in turn, is more powerful than oxygen. Therefore, the use of standard materials would lead to rapid degradation due to ozone's oxidizing nature. In truth, stainless steel is favored, not just against environmental conditions, but specifically against the oxidative effects of ozone itself. High humidity levels and the presence of dust play a critical role in accelerating this oxidation process.

The dangers of operating in a humid environment are significant. Moist air poses a serious threat to metal and electronic components. As the ozone generator processes air, the detrimental effects of humidity are exacerbated, leading to an increased rate of oxidation. Users frequently report the presence of excess moisture within their ozone generators, which is often attributable to prolonged operation in humid conditions, highlighting a direct cause-and-effect relationship.

Furthermore, the Professional ozone generator relies on high-voltage currents to ionize air or oxygen. However, the presence of humid air diminishes the ionization efficiency, which in turn reduces the ozone generation rate. Dust particles in the air also accumulate within the ozone generation tube, cooling fan, and other components during extended operation. This buildup severely impacts the ozone generator's effectiveness, as it increases the likelihood of water and dust accumulation due to the significant airflow.

Thus, maintaining a dry working environment and ensuring the cleanliness of the air source are crucial for optimizing both the service life and efficiency of the ozone generator.

Routine inspection and maintenance are essential for the ozone generator’s longevity. Before operation, users should ensure that all switches on the ozone generator machine function correctly. For water-cooled systems, checking the water supply is vital prior to operation. Additionally, inspecting for any potential damage to wiring or detachment of the ozone output pipe is also critical to ensure smooth and effective functioning.
