4.0 Theory of Operation
Your Poseidon ozone generator is a state-of-the-art device designed to produce ozone. The technology
utilized to perform this function is “Pulse Modulated” Corona Discharge Ozone Generation. Pulse
Modulated Corona Discharge generators create ozone through the action of high voltage, low current
electrical “arcs” across an air space. When oxygen (O2) is passed through the air space, some
molecules are split, resulting in “free” oxygen atoms which quickly attach themselves to intact O2
molecules. The result is a very unstable form of oxygen, O3 (ozone). It is the extra atom of oxygen that
gives ozone its superior oxidation capabilities.
4.1 “Pulse Modulated” Corona Discharge Ozone Generation
The “Pulse Modulated” technology represents the heart of the ozone generator. As opposed to the
plate type air dielectric corona generators, the “Pulse Modulated” CD cell is biased with a series of
pulsed DC, medium frequency signals within a cylindrical environment. The ceramic dielectrics
surround a thin barrier of stainless steel and are then surrounded by a stainless coil held to tight
tolerances for length and diameter with high voltage applied, the combination of the stainless sleeve,
ceramic cylinder and coil provide a condensing action to produce ozone. Improvements in the design
have led to a method of producing ozone wherein the cell is: 1) Capable of withstanding high voltage
inputs without plating; 2) No relative expansion and contraction of the parts; 3) Able to operate at
M43-31281 BK1.5 REV A1 5

lower temperatures than conventional corona discharge generators thus improving reliability and
efficiency without the need for separate cooling water circuitry; 4) Maximum ozone output with
minimum high voltage input.
Each cell(s) is separately housed within its own stainless holding chamber (manifold) with consideration
for maximum efficiency. In other words, all the air that is drawn through the chambers is passed
directly through the ozone producing region (corona gap) with little or no waste from improper
channeling.
Each manifold is neatly constructed and conveniently clip into a fuse holder like device for ease in
assembly and servicing. MTTR (Mean Time To Replace) a manifold in less than 3 minutes. Due to the
lost cost of a replacement cell/manifold, the existing cell is not serviceable and is to be considered a
throw-away item should it fail.
5.0 Operating Conditions
Your generator requires special operating conditions in order to maintain performance and reliability.
Your ozone generator is designed to be operated under a negative or positive pressure situation. Your
Ozotech ozone generator has been factory tested to operate at a maximum positive pressure of 5 psi.
Warranty coverage of your equipment is contingent upon strict compliance with the operating
conditions specified in this manual.
5.1 Operating Environment
External
It is most important to choose a cool, clean external operating environment. Consideration of these
factors should be a priority. Mount your ozone generator in the best possible operating environment
that is available at chosen site. If at all possible, mount in an area that is free of airborne moisture
particles.
Internal
Keep the inside of the generator chassis clean and dry. Dust particles and condensation pose a
challenge to the consistent operation of all ozone generators. Make a note to inspect the internal
cleanliness of the equipment when you perform your scheduled maintenance. For further information
refer to section 6.0.
5.2 Input Power Requirements
Ozotech, Inc., offers the Poseidon ozone generator in a variety of configurations to accommodate a
M43-31281 BK1.5 REV A1 6

M43-31281 BK1.5 REV A1
7
wide range of applications. Configurations include a standard AC to DC wall transformer, a cigarette
lighter adapter or twisted wire for connection to a hard 12 VDC source such as a car, boat or RV
battery circuit. Most supply voltages fluctuate, so it is necessary to monitor your voltage and assure it is
within acceptable variance values listed below.
Voltage = (Specified) 11.7 VDC to 13.9 VDC
Frequency = Not applicable
Power Consumption = 600 ma @12vdc (7.2 watts) nominal
6.0 Maintenance
The Poseidon generators are delivered factory tested, calibrated, and adjusted for maximum efficiency and
long life. Simple maintenance and appropriate operating conditions are the only requirements to keep the
unit functioning within manufacturer's specifications.
Performing any other modifications or adjustments to internal components will cause the unit to function
outside of manufacturer's specifications, and will cause damage to the unit not covered under terms of
warranty.
6.1 Ozone Generator Maintenance
Frequency of Maintenance
Every 4800 hours (6 months)
To maintain the Ozone Generator:
1. Disconnect unit from power source.
2. Remove top cover.
3. Inspect the inside of the generator for dust and moisture.
4. Thoroughly clean and dry the inside of the generator.
5. Replace top cover.
6. Replace any ozone resistant check valves on the air in or ozone gas outlet lines.

6.2 Corona Discharge Cell Servicing
This is a throw-away item should it fail. Electrical failure is usually the result of a mechanical failure. For
example, should the cell become plugged with nitric byproducts or should water back into the cell, it
could be the cause of a catastrophic electrical failure. Proper air preparation can usually avoid the
build-up of nitrous but may be cost prohibitive in some applications as the cost of a replacement cell is
minimal. Refer to the diagrams at the back of this manual for the typical unit layout.
