As is well known, it plays a very important role in preventing the spoilage of health products such as food, medicine, and cosmetics, and can significantly extend the shelf life of food.

According to Mr. Zhou Lianli, a food safety specialist at Shanghai Kangjiu Disinfection Technology Co., Ltd., which specializes in developing food safety assurance solutions, the reason why ozone can extend the shelf life of food is mainly because ozone has efficient sterilization and disinfection effects.

In addition to its bactericidal effect, ozone also has the functions of eliminating indoor and outdoor odors, decomposing harmful substances, treating sewage, bleaching, etc.

Although ozone has been used in production and daily life for a long time, many people are still unclear about how ozone is generated and the circuit structure of ozone generators.

The principle of ozone generation

Ozone is a strong oxidant obtained through high-pressure ionization (or electrolysis, chemical, photochemical reactions). Its production process involves decomposing some oxygen in the air into oxygen atoms, which then polymerize with oxygen molecules to form ozone.

Ozone has extremely unstable properties and rapidly decomposes after production, so it can only be produced and used immediately. The device that generates ozone is called an ozone generator. According to the different ways of generating ozone, ozone generators are mainly divided into three types: electrolytic ozone generators and ultraviolet radiation ozone generators.
