Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive gas composed of three oxygen atoms. It is both a natural and a man-made product that occurs in the Earth's upper atmosphere ozone molecule(the stratosphere) and lower atmosphere (the troposphere). Depending on where it is in the atmosphere, ozone affects life on Earth in either good or bad ways.

What is Ozone ?
Ozone reduces energy costs by :
- Increasing the heat transfer efficiency of the chiller.
- Reducing makeup water to the cooling tower by permitting more cycles between blow-downs.
- Eliminating the cost and problems in ordering, shipping, handling, storage, and disposal of regular chemicals.
- Reducing power consumption by keeping the chiller heat transfer efficiency high through leaner condenser tubes.
Main benefits of ozonisation include :
- Improvement of the filter and coagulant capacities. This leads to a reduction of coagulant use and less backwashing of the filter. Water use can be decreased, because of an increase in water quality.
- Ozone oxidizes organic and inorganic matter in the water, without the formation of unwanted by products, such as chloramines.
- Chlorine scents can be fully diminished by ozone application.
- Ozone is a more powerful oxidant and disinfectant than chlorine.
- Certain chlorine-resistant pathogens cannot multiply in water that is treated with ozone.
Ozone Water
Advantages for Ozone Water :
- Eliminates the use of chemicals except for pH balancing.
- Ozone is produced on-site and requires no storage of dangerous chemicals.
- Ends discharge liabilities and chemical storage record keeping.
- Destroys all types of microorganisms instantly; decomposes organic waste by oxidation.
- Micro-organisms cannot get resistant to ozone after prolonged use of ozone.
- Removes existing calcium carbonate scale by destroying the biomass glue bonding agent.
- High efficiency as disinfectant.
- A residual ozone concentration of 0.1 to 0.2 ppm is in most cases very effective in keeping the cooling tower and the cooling circuit clean.
- Due to good bio-film removal capacities very effective against Legionella.
- No chlorinated compounds. Very low corrosion rates in the system
- Environmentally friendly.
Swimming Pool water heating with Heat Pumps
Benefits of ozone application for Swimming Pools :
- Swimming water quality can be sufficiently increased by ozonization.
- Guarantees healthy swimming water.
- Children’s immune systems may be affected by swimming in chlorinated swimming pools.
- Allthough purchasing an ozone system is relatively expensive compared to other techniques, cost can be saved on a long term.
