Primozone - Model LB - Lox Booster (Nitrogen Blending) - Datasheet

Production of ozone from oxygen requires a catalyst. This is not specific to Primo - zone ozone generators, but applies to all oxygen fed ozone generators. When using concentrated oxygen from a PSA system as feed gas, there are small amounts of Argon and nitrogen left in feed gas, that will work in this favor. But, when using LOX as feed gas source, there are not any catalyst available. Adding a small amount of dry compressed air will do the work, as air contains about 80% N 2 . It is important to add the correct amount of nitrogen, as too much nitrogen will potentially damage the ozone generator, as formation of dinitrogen pentoxide will increase with the nitrogen level. Too little nitrogen will starve the production of ozone due to the lack of catalyst.
