5) Inlet and Outlet Hose Connections
The AIM Series Ozone Generator is designed to feed ozone to a variety of applications with a minimum
flow rate of 3 SCFH and a maximum of 20 SCFH. Lower pressures and flow rates generally achieve best
performance. A variety of hose connectors and adapters are provided in the hose adapter kit to step-up
or down hose sizes, to fit your application. The AIM Series Ozone Generator may be used in both positive
and negative pressure applications. The use of snapper clamps on all positive pressure application
connections is recommended.
Positive pressure feed applications— It is recommended that pure oxygen from a tank or
concentrated oxygen from an oxygen concentrator machine be used to supply the feed gas for optimum
performance, but clean dry air can also be used. Compressed air or gas must be pressure regulated
to 5 psi or less. Lower pressures and flow rates generally achieve best performance. Connect the feed
gas supply to the inlet hose (closest to the access door) and connect ozone feed line to the outlet
hose (closest to back of chassis). Turn on gas flow and fine tune the flow rate to suit your application
by adjusting the flow meter knob on the front door of the AIM Series Ozone Generator. Temporarily
installing an inline or T-branch manometer, or other fine resolution pressure sensing instrument, on the
outlet hose is a good way to verify internal pressures are not too high. A check valve in the ozone outlet
line must be installed between the ozone generator and delivery device.
Negative pressure applications—This machine can be used with vacuum draw systems as well,
provided the minimum air flow rate (3 SCFH) and internal chamber pressures (≤5 psi) requirements are
met. Like positive pressure applications, it is recommended that bottled or concentrated oxygen feed
gas be used to supply the ozone generator. Connect the inlet and outlet tubing in the same fashion as
described above. Install the supplied BF1 - Backflow Prevention Device between the ozone generator
and inline check valve on the ozone output line.
