Ozonizers

Ozone is produced by the 185 nm mercury line that is fairly abundant in 253.7 nm germicidal mercury lamps. You get more ozone for your kilowatt-hrs by a well-designed silent electric discharge. Remember that ozone is exceedingly toxic.

If you want some hefty 254 nm Hg and shorter emission, look up Fusion Systems' mircowave-pumped electrodeless lamps. They are hollow fused silca frankfurters containing drop of mercury that wholly vaporizes in use. Containing no metal or IR-absorbing anything, the lamps have extremely small IR emission and truly whopping mercury emission efficiencies.

Greetings,

I would like to know whats the difference between the ozone generator in commercial UV-Ozonizer systems and those for general use (ie: aquarium, remove odours).

Is it possible to get a UV lamp and an ozonizer seperately and use them to clean ITO (indium tin oxide) substrates for organic light emitting diode applications ?

Thanks.
