Ozone is produced by UVC lamps without the titanium dioxide coating that attenuates frequencies below 200 nanometers. At the 187 nanometer limit, it dissolves oxygen molecule to form two unstable O atoms which in turn fuse with another O₂ to form O₃. Ozone is a powerful oxidant with antibacterial properties. It destroys any organic element in the air stream, as well as fats and oil particles. Ozone has a very short lifespan and at normal enviromental temperatures, it transforms back into oxygen after only 20 ÷ 30 minutes.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The treatment of odors and grease through the production of ozone is a scientific achievement and is characterized as the most efficient measure to date. However, in cases where a lot of smoke is produced during the cooking process or industrial application, it is recommended to use an electrostatic filter (RY Series) or to cooperate with AIRTECHNIC's CLEAN units.
