<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent times, many customers operating in high VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)<\/a> environments have encountered issues with the performance of their GSS-based ozone sensor heads. If you are among them, this post is for you. The challenges you face can often be mitigated by switching to GSE-based ozone sensor heads, specifically the EOZ<\/a> and EOZH<\/a> models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help you make an informed decision and ensure the longevity and accuracy of your ozone sensors, here are some best practices for proper storage and handling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why GSE-based Ozone Sensor Heads?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

GSE-based ozone sensor heads, such as the EOZ<\/a> and EOZH<\/a>, are designed to offer improved performance in environments with high levels of VOC<\/a>s. These sensor heads are less susceptible to contamination and drift, making them a more reliable choice for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendations for Proper Storage and Handling<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

1. Protective Enclosure:<\/strong>
Store your sensors in airtight, protective enclosures like sealed plastic bags when not in use. This practice minimizes exposure to VOCs, reducing the risk of contamination and sensor drift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Temperature and Humidity Control:<\/strong>
Maintain a stable environment with controlled temperature and humidity for sensor storage. Aligning storage conditions with operational conditions helps avoid condensation and humidity effects that can impact sensor performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Filtered Air Storage:<\/strong>
Utilize a storage area equipped with HEPA and activated carbon filtration systems. These filters effectively reduce VOC<\/a> levels and particulate contamination, ensuring a cleaner environment for your sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Regular Maintenance:<\/strong>
Implement a regular cleaning and maintenance schedule for the storage area and the enclosures. This routine ensures that the storage environment remains optimal and free from contaminants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Calibrate Regularly:<\/strong>
In high VOC<\/a> environments, sensors may require more frequent calibration<\/a> to maintain accuracy and reliability. Establish a regular calibration schedule based on your specific conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Monitoring Storage Conditions:<\/strong>
Regularly monitor the storage conditions, including temperature, humidity, and VOC<\/a> levels. Ensure these parameters remain within the recommended ranges for your sensors to function effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
