Jelight SOG-3 Stable Ozone Generator

uses shortwave 185 nm ultraviolet radiation to photochemically generate a continuous ozone stream for laboratory, analytical, environmental, and materials-testing applications. Designed for 230 V operation, the system features a 203.2 mm (8 in.) lighted length and includes the Jelight PS-4 99-0004-02 power supply.

Applications

Ozone Analyzer and Sensor Testing

The SOG-3 provides a controlled ozone source for laboratory testing, evaluation, and development of ozone analyzers, sensors, and related monitoring equipment.

Air Pollution and Environmental Research

The generator can support atmospheric chemistry, air-pollution research, environmental monitoring studies, and experimental systems requiring a continuous laboratory ozone source.

Materials Aging and Oxidation Studies

Controlled ozone exposure can be used to investigate oxidation, degradation, aging, and ozone resistance in polymers, elastomers, coatings, seals, and other materials.

Water Treatment and Chemical Research

The system can provide ozone for laboratory-scale water-treatment studies, oxidation experiments, reaction testing, and other chemical research requiring photochemically generated ozone.

Analytical and OEM Instrument Development

Its Pen-Ray-based design makes the generator suitable for analytical instrument development, environmental test systems, and custom laboratory apparatus requiring an integrated ozone source.

Specifications

FAQs

How does the SOG-3 generate ozone?

The generator uses strong 185 nm ultraviolet radiation from a Pen-Ray mercury source to photochemically convert oxygen molecules into ozone as the process gas passes through the illuminated region.

Can ozone output vary with operating conditions?

Yes. Photochemical ozone production can vary with factors such as gas composition, flow rate, oxygen concentration, moisture, UV exposure, and the configuration of the downstream gas system.

What tubing should be used with generated ozone?

Ozone-resistant materials should be used throughout the gas path. PTFE and compatible glass components are commonly used because materials that react with ozone can reduce the amount delivered to the experimental or measurement system.

What safety precautions are required?

Ozone is a strong oxidizer and can be hazardous when inhaled. The generator should be operated with appropriate ventilation, containment, ozone-compatible materials, gas-flow controls, and ozone monitoring as required by the application and site safety procedures.
