PLC Architecture
Guardian Manufacturing has designed the proper software for the Plasma BlockŪ to operate with the correct configuration depending on the exact requirements of each application. This includes but is not limited to exact ozone output control through OPR or DOM, ambient ozone monitoring, interlocked to pumps, valves or other equipment. Remote monitoring is available through the customers' Ethernet and if required the Internet. Guardian is the leading expert in automation and control with hundreds of projects all over the world including many Fortune Five Hundred Corporations.
Maintenance
Cell designs using glass dielectrics are of particular concern since these tend to be very temperamental requiring great care in the disassembly, cleaning process and reassembly of the unit. Cell failures can lead to the entire unit shutting down until a highly trained technician can troubleshoot the problem. The Plasma BlockŪ will eliminate all of these concerns. Our cell is maintenance free. The cell will not self destruct if water finds its way into the reactor chamber. The electronics are design to withstand any water entrainment. The only required maintenance is on the filters of the air prep system. The Plasma BlockŪ has built in safety features which simply shuts the unit down. After the cells are purged the unit can be started up with confidence. No other cell design can make these claims. Should there actually be a cell failure, the time required to remove and replace a cell is about 15 minutes. The Guardian architecture allows for the unit to continue to produce ozone through any of the remaining cells.
Oxygen Feed Gas
The Plasma BlockŪ is designed to operate on oxygen. Systems using dry air will develop nitric acid which will build up in the cell causing a reduction in ozone output or cell failure. Using oxygen creates the perfect environment for the Plasma BlockŪ cell operation. High ozone concentrations and efficiencies with inlet feed gas due points equal to minus 100 degrees F are achieved. Many ozone system will run on air or oxygen. For peak operation, performance and service, only cells using oxygen feed gas have proven over time to be the most reliable.
Our systems can also run on bottled oxygen (LOX). Most other ozone generators can not.
The Plasma BlockŪ with a proven track record over the last 5 years continues to be the absolute best cell design ever conceived. This design is truly changing everything about the use of ozone, ozone generation and the related applications.
