本出版物介绍了有关臭氧特性、安全处理臭氧的方法以及臭氧产生设备的安全安装和操作的一般信息。有关特定类型臭氧产生设备的专门技术信息的请求，应直接向用于生产臭氧气体的设备制造商提出。本出版物主要面向臭氧用户和用于生产臭氧的设备制造商。它仅限于干燥（水分低于100 ppm）的氧气臭氧、压力高达2 atm（表压）的空气-臭氧混合物和高达16重量%的臭氧。本出版物不涉及臭氧发生器电源装置（PSU）。 有关PSU操作、维护和防护的建议可从臭氧发生器制造商处获得。本出版物也不涉及臭氧发生器的具体操作和维护规范，包括所用冷却液的种类、防冻、腐蚀等。由于不同系统的要求不同，这些信息对臭氧发生器的安全运行至关重要，应从臭氧发生器制造商处获取。

This publication presents general information regarding the characteristics of ozone, the means by which it can be handled safely, and the safe installation and operation of ozone-generating equipment. Requests for specialized, technical information regarding specific types of ozone-generating equipment should be directed to the manufacturers of equipment used to produce ozone gas.This publication is intended primarily for users of ozone and manufacturers of equipment used to produce ozone. It is limited to dry (less than 100 ppm moisture) oxygen-ozone, air-ozone mixtures at pressures up to 2 atm (gauge), and up to 16 weight percent ozone.This publication does not address ozone generator power supply units (PSUs). Recommendations regarding operations, maintenance, and safeguards for PSUs can be obtained from the ozone generator manufacturer.This publication also does not address specific operating and maintenance specifications for ozone generators, including the variety of coolants used, freeze protection, corrosion aspects, etc. This information is critical to the safe operation of ozone generators, and shall be obtained from the ozone generator manufacturer due to the varying requirements for different systems.
