GENERAL INFORMATION
1. HOW THE UNIT WORKS
The SANY-MED-80 unit has been designed to purify the air and sanitise the
surfaces of small and medium sized rooms up to a max. of 80 m
3
.
SANY-MED-80 is equipped with an ozone sanitation system.
1.1. OZONE SANITATION SYSTEM
The SANY-MED-80 ozone generator is equipped with an automatic control unit
that governs the sanitation cycle with 3 programs: SHORT, MEDIUM, LONG.
There are 4 buttons on the top of the unit casing, 3 are for program selection and
1 is the unit ON-OFF button.
If the room temperature is higher than 40° C, the unit will not produce ozone. The
room temperature must be reduced.
A lighted red led on the top of the casing shows the unit is switched on. During
this cycle, the unit produces small amounts of ozone to sanitise the air, surfaces
and the air conditioning system in the room. In fact, ozone is ideal to eliminate
unpleasant smells caused by bacteria, fungi, mould, etc.
THE SANITATION CYCLE MUST ONLY BE OPERATED WITH NOBODY
PRESENT IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY.
The unit produces ozone by means of corona discharge generators. The air
inside the room is moved by the recirculation fan, passes through the unit where
it is enriched with ozone, and at the end of the ozone phase the catalysis phase
begins, when the remaining ozone passes through the UV-C lamps and is
converted back into oxygen, without leaving any traces.
Signals during the cycle: Red LED on.
1.2. NOTES ON OZONE
Ozone (O
3
) is a natural gas formed of trivalent oxygen. It is formed in nature
during thunderstorms by the electric charges in lightning and in the atmosphere
by ultraviolet sunrays.
There are higher concentrations in the mountains, which is why we feel better
there and where the air is cleaner.
It is a colourless gas with a sharp and penetrating smell.
Ozone has a molecular weight of 48 g/mol; at a pressure of 1 atm it has a melting
point of 192.5 °C and a boiling point of 111.9 °C.
Its high reactivity level and spontaneous decomposition with oxygen make ozone
a gas with excellent potential for air purification systems.
Thanks to its high oxidising power (2.07 V), second only to fluoride, it is extremely
effective in reducing or inactivating bacteria, mould, yeast, parasites and viruses.
Ozone acts by means of an oxidising mechanism and attacks both glycoproteins
and glycolipids, and alters the enzymes and intercellular RNA and DNA
