We are excited to offer the new higher range ozone sensor (EOZH<\/a>) from Aeroqual. This new ozone sensor will measure 0-30ppm of Ozone (O3)<\/a> and is compatible to work with the S-200<\/a>, S-300<\/a>, S-500<\/a> portable bases monitors and the fixed S-900 base<\/a>. See more information about the new EOZH sensor below in the bulletin from Aeroqual<\/a> on September 3, 2020:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 has seen significant changes in the way we live our lives. Covid-19 has introduced (dare I say it) \u201cunprecedented\u201d restrictions on how we travel, communicate, work, and socialize. Yet it has also created opportunities for 1000s of innovations<\/a> aiming to overcome these restrictions and even combat the Coronavirus.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interest in ozone as a sterilant against Covid-19 generated so many enquiries that we wrote a blog: Does ozone sterilization kill the Coronavirus which causes COVID-19?<\/a> In response to requests for a high-range ozone sensor for sterilization processes, we have developed a 0-30 ppm electrochemical ozone sensor head compatible with our portable and fixed ozone monitors<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT APPLICATIONS IS THE HIGH-RANGE OZONE SENSOR FOR?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ozone sterilization<\/a>\u00a0is commonly\u202fused in hospitals to sanitize equipment\u202fand significantly reduce or\u202feliminate the spread of bacteria.\u00a0In addition, ozone sterilization applications are emerging where\u00a0time is a constraint and therefore\u00a0a higher dosage\u00a0of ozone\u00a0may be\u00a0required to reduce the sterilization time while\u00a0still achieving\u00a0efficacy. An\u00a0example\u00a0is\u00a0sterilization\u00a0of\u00a0public transport\u00a0where vehicles\u00a0such as\u00a0buses<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0trains<\/a>\u00a0use ozone\u00a0treatment\u00a0to achieve\u00a0short turnaround times\u00a0between journeys.\u00a0For these applications\u00a0a\u00a0limit of\u00a020\u00a0to 25 ppm has been requested\u00a0by some\u00a0operators,\u00a0so\u00a0the 0-30 ppm range of the new sensor is ideal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHY USE AN OZONE SENSOR?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ozone sensors are used to monitor the level of ozone delivered, to ensure that the correct level has been achieved and maintained for a prescribed time before the ozone generator is switched off. This ensures processes are consistent, measurable and effective. Aeroqual monitors have control outputs that can be used to control the ozone generators. Sensors are also used to ensure people know when it is safe to re-enter environments after ozone treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MEASURING HIGH LEVELS OF OZONE?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ozone sensors exposed to high levels of ozone\u00a0can become saturated and\u00a0require a longer recovery time relative to the exposure level.\u00a0Therefore, we recommend the use of a second sensor\u00a0to determine\u00a0when\u00a0people can safely return to\u00a0an environment\u00a0after ozone treatment has taken place.\u00a0Our\u00a00-0.5 ppm gas sensitive semiconductor\u00a0(GSS) ozone\u00a0sensor<\/a>\u00a0can be used\u00a0to check ozone levels are within\u00a0OSHA<\/a>\u00a0and\/or\u00a0NIOSH<\/a>\u00a0designated\u00a0short time and personal exposure\u00a0limits.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT TYPE OF SENSOR TECHNOLOGY IS USED?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The new ozone sensor is a gas sensitive electrochemical (GSE) type. It has a linear and fast response, an ability to measure up to 30 ppm, and has low cross-interference from volatile organic compounds<\/a> (VOC\u2019s) (e.g. cleaning agents) that may be found in the types of environments being sterilized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GSS and GSE sensors mentioned above are the two leading technologies for the low-cost measurement of ozone. Both sensor types have strengths and weaknesses, I have written a blog on these technologies<\/a> to help explain why one may be selected over the other, such as using a GSS sensor for a sterilization post-treatment ozone level check. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensor specifications are available\u00a0here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
