Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 All: A while back there was some discussion about RGF®'s PHI-Cell Technology that uses UV light and titanuium catalyst that creates " hydro-peroxides, ozonide ions, super oxide ions, UV light rays and hydroxide ions, all " friendly oxidizers " — oxidizers that revert back to oxygen and hydrogen after the oxidation of the pollutant " and produces no ozone: http://www.aircareonline.com/guardianair.html I just saw my first unit in an office furnace; the UV lamp runs continuously and the first thing I smelled upon entry into the office was ozone.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Jeff, I would consider measuring the amount of ozone being produced at the furnace.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 If you did into them a bit you will find that they purposely produce ozone with the 100nm UVGI lamp . This ozone interacts with the hydroxyl radicals to produce hydrogen peroxide as a by product. And you know there has to be intermediaries other than hydrogen peroxide with the ozone production. All of the test data available is on surface contact and a 24 hour reduction rate. Yet they market it as an air quality device. Try to get an engineer to spec that technology in a commercial building and see what happens. There is quite a difference in a properly design PCO system in a given space and an ozone producing device that is producing a byproduct that works over time possibly not even completely oxidizing, what is in the environment. What chemical soup do you have left or added in the chemical equation of the IAQ?
