Overview
The FUXIA FX-BX-5G Portable Ozone Generator is a compact, benchtop-capable gas generation system engineered for controlled ozone (O₃) production in laboratory, small-scale sterilization, and research-grade air/water treatment applications. It operates on the principle of corona discharge—where high-voltage alternating current is applied across a dielectric barrier to dissociate oxygen molecules (O₂) from ambient or supplied air, enabling recombination into ozone. Designed for intermittent or semi-continuous operation, the unit delivers stable ozone output suitable for validation studies, microbial inactivation trials, oxidation kinetics experiments, and calibration of ozone-sensing instrumentation. Its portable architecture—featuring integrated cooling, safety interlocks, and low-power consumption—makes it appropriate for use in ISO-classified cleanrooms, university teaching labs, and field-deployable environmental monitoring setups where centralized ozone infrastructure is unavailable.
Key Features
- Compact, lightweight chassis with ergonomic carry handle and non-slip rubber feet for stable placement on lab benches or mobile carts
- Corona discharge ozone generation cell with ceramic dielectric barrier and stainless-steel electrodes for long-term stability and minimal nitrogen oxide (NOₓ) byproduct formation
- Integrated thermal management system including temperature-sensing feedback loop and automatic duty-cycle modulation to prevent overheating during extended operation
- Dual-mode airflow control: adjustable intake fan speed and calibrated outlet flow regulator (0–5 L/min range, compatible with standard 6 mm OD tubing)
- Front-panel LED indicators for power status, ozone generation active signal, and overtemperature warning
- CE-compliant electrical design with reinforced insulation, grounded chassis, and built-in fuse protection per IEC 61010-1 for laboratory equipment safety
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The FX-BX-5G is intended for generating ozone from dry ambient air or externally supplied oxygen-enriched gas (up to 93% O₂). It is not designed for direct immersion in liquids or connection to pressurized pipelines exceeding 0.1 MPa. The unit complies with general-purpose laboratory equipment requirements under GB/T 25915.1–2021 (equivalent to ISO 14644-1 Class 8 cleanroom compatibility) and meets electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) criteria per GB/T 18268.1–2010 (IEC 61326-1). While not certified to FDA 21 CFR Part 11 or EU Annex 11 for GMP environments, its operational repeatability and traceable on/off control support GLP-aligned experimental protocols when paired with external ozone analyzers (e.g., UV absorption at 254 nm) and calibrated mass flow controllers.
Software & Data Management
The FX-BX-5G operates as a standalone analog-controlled device without embedded microprocessor logic or digital communication interfaces (e.g., RS-232, USB, or Ethernet). All operational parameters—including input voltage (220 V AC ±10%, 50 Hz), output ozone concentration (dependent on flow rate, humidity, and feed gas composition), and runtime—are manually configured and monitored via front-panel indicators. For documentation integrity in regulated workflows, users are advised to log operational timestamps, inlet air dew point (< –40 °C recommended), flow rate settings, and concurrent ozone concentration measurements using third-party analyzers. This manual logging approach aligns with basic GLP record-keeping requirements and supports audit readiness when maintained in bound lab notebooks or validated electronic lab notebook (ELN) systems.
Applications
- Validation of ozone-based surface decontamination procedures for pharmaceutical packaging components and medical device housings
- Controlled oxidative stress testing in microbiology—evaluating sporicidal efficacy against Bacillus atrophaeus or Geobacillus stearothermophilus bioindicators
- Calibration and challenge testing of ozone gas sensors and continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS)
- Pilot-scale evaluation of ozone’s reaction kinetics with organic contaminants (e.g., phenol, chloroform) in aqueous model systems
- Supporting ASTM D6577 and ISO 14644-3 Annex B methodologies for cleanroom gaseous contaminant mitigation assessment
- Undergraduate and graduate laboratory instruction in environmental chemistry, disinfection engineering, and gas-phase reaction dynamics
FAQ
What is the typical ozone output concentration range for the FX-BX-5G?
Output concentration varies significantly with operating conditions: at 2 L/min dry air flow, typical output ranges between 10–50 mg/m³; higher concentrations (up to ~100 mg/m³) may be achieved using oxygen-enriched feed gas and reduced flow rates.
Can this generator be used for water ozonation?
No—it is designed exclusively for gas-phase ozone generation. Direct injection into water requires additional dissolution equipment (e.g., venturi injectors or bubble diffusers) and is outside the scope of safe or validated operation for this model.
Is the unit suitable for continuous 24/7 operation?
It is rated for intermittent duty cycles (max. 6 hours ON / 2 hours OFF) to ensure thermal stability and electrode longevity. Uninterrupted operation exceeds design specifications and voids warranty coverage.
Does the FX-BX-5G include an ozone destruct unit?
No. Exhaust ozone must be managed externally via catalytic destruct units or thermal decomposition systems compliant with local occupational exposure limits (e.g., OSHA PEL: 0.1 ppm TWA).
Are spare parts and service support available internationally?
FUXIA provides OEM-specified consumables (e.g., dielectric cells, fuses, fan assemblies) through authorized regional distributors. Technical documentation and calibration guidance are available in English upon request.
