ncreased service life and reduction in maintenance are gained due to the same principle. With
less HNO2 and HNO3 being formed, corona discharge cell maintenance, or cleaning the cell, can
be reduced without the risk of acid buildup. Since both HNO2 and HNO3 are highly conductive,
they can produce a path for corona (electrical arcs) outside of the corona discharge cell and
manifold. As stated previously, once an arc has started, catastrophic failure is the usual result.
Your AIM series ozone generator is capable of operating with either negative or positive pressure
air preparation devices. Negative pressure devices, such as heat-regenerated desiccant air dryers
rely upon the action of the venturi injector to draw air through the generator (and the dryer). This
method is typically not utilized with the AIM series, due to the difficulties of meeting minimum
airflow requirements through the vacuum action of a venturi injector alone. Positive pressure
devices, such as the Power Prep Series manufactured by Ozotech, Inc., utilize an internal air
compressor to push prepared air through the generator. This method is utilized in the majority of
AIM series ozone generator applications.
Your AIM series ozone generator is designed for not more than +/- 5 psi of internal pressure.
2.4 Input Power Requirements
The AIM Series Ozone Generators were developed to accommodate a wide range of world
supply voltages and frequencies. Because of this versatility, they are built without a specific
power cord or plug and will require an appropriate connection to be installed at the desired
installation site. If the customer is unfamiliar with installing power connections and this type
of electrical work, it is strongly recommended that a licensed, and certified professional
be used to perform this connection work. Because many power supply voltages fluctuate, it is
recommended to monitor your voltage fluctuations, before and after installing this equipment, to
assure it is within acceptable variance values listed below.
Voltage (VAC) = 115 / 230 (+/- 10%)
Frequency (Hz) = 50 / 60 (+/- 10%)
Note: lower frequencies will result in slightly less ozone generation performance
Power consumption, AIM series = Nominally 150 watts (50/60Hz)
Note: If your line voltage fluctuates beyond acceptable variance, it will be necessary to connect
your equipment to a line conditioner.
