Aluminum/Ceramic Cell
Stainless Steel contains ferric chromate and can result in contamination of the process. The Plasma Block® cell does not allow this to occur since there is no stainless steel and therefore no chance of contamination.
PDM Control
Pulse Density Modulating
The desire to precisely control the ozone output has always been an issue. The micro channel™ cell and power supply is designed to throttle the ozone output like a VFD varies the speed of a motor. Ozone is produced on a linear curve down to 1%.
23,000 Hertz
You will hear of other cell designs operating at medium or high frequencies. This is generally 400 to 2000 hertz. At this frequency the generators produce a noise which can be very annoying. The Plasma Block™ operating at 23,000 hertz is silent.
Air Cooled Cell Design
The Plasma Block® Technology basic design is efficient enough to allow the removal of heat through just air cooling. This is a tremendous savings in energy and maintenance since the use of a chillier is not required. A dual plasma block machine for 3.2 lbs/day or 60.66 grams/hour with oxygen system included uses the same power as a microwave oven, 120 volts, 1500 watts.
High Voltage
Containment is the Key
Other cell designs have very high voltage (18,000 volts) and exposed inside the enclosure along with low voltage (120 or 230 volts). This can be dangerous and has caused serious flashovers which has resulted in a fire. The Plasma Block® is only operating around 3200 volts and the good news, it's totally contained with no exposure to lower voltages. Flashover is not possible with the Plasma Block® cell design.
