1. INTRODUCTION

Sanitizer LOVAIR CLIMA is a professional ozone generator of high capacity (100
mg/h) which, thanks to the ozone strong oxidizing power, kills bacteria, moulds, and
mites and dissolves all kind of smells.

Perfect to sanitize the following places:

− environments with air-conditioners, fan coils and ventilation systems

− cold stores and refrigerators

− toilets

− houses, offices and gymnasia

− smoky rooms

− rooms where pets live

− bars and public places

1.1 WHAT IS OZONE?

Ozone is a molecule of three oxygen atoms bound together (O3), with negative electric
charge. The ozone molecule is very unstable and has a short half-life. Therefore, it will
decay after 10-15 seconds into its original form: oxygen (O2), according to the reaction
presented below:

2O3 ⇋ 3O2

In nature, ozone is produced by some physical reactions. The most well-known example is
of course the ozone layer, where ozone is produced from the sun’s UV rays. But ozone is
also produced at thunderstorms and waterfalls. The special “fresh and clean spring rain”
smell is a result of nature-produced ozone. Ozone derives from the Greek word “ozein”,
which means “ to smell”.
Ozone can also be produced artificially by means of ozone generators. These produce
ozone with extremely high voltages or with UV light.

1.2 HOW DOES OZONE WORK?

The ozone operates according to the principle of oxidation. When the static loaded ozone
molecule (O3) contacts with something “able to oxidize”, the charge of the ozone molecule
will directly flow over. This is because ozone is very unstable and tends to turn back to its
original form (O2). Ozone can oxidize with all kinds of materials, but also with odours and
micro organisms like viruses, moulds and bacteria. The extra oxygen atom releases from
the ozone molecule and binds with the other material. In the end, only the pure and stable
oxygen molecule remains.
