Ozone treatment
Ozone treatment removes bacteria and odours from the car's air conditioning system. The ozone reaches parts of the evaporator and ducts that are hard to clean. Choose a unit with adjustable runtime and enough output for the vehicle size. Run the process with windows open and keep people out of the car until it finishes.
Ozone Treatment for Car AC Systems
Which ozone treatment suits your workshop?
Choose an ozone unit based on the size of the car and the workspace. For a passenger car, an output of 1000 mg per hour is enough. For larger vehicles or a van, you need a heavier unit. Check the adjustable time setting. This lets you match the treatment to the severity of the odour.
Where ordering goes wrong
Many technicians only look at the ozone output. But the time setting matters just as much. Without an adjustable time setting, you risk a treatment that is too short or too long. A short treatment leaves bacteria behind. A long treatment can damage plastic parts. Always choose a unit with a clear timer.
Safety during the treatment
Always carry out the ozone treatment without people in the car. Ozone is harmful if inhaled. Place the car in a well-ventilated area or open the doors after the treatment. Ventilate the car thoroughly afterwards. This prevents you or your customer from suffering from the ozone smell.
An ozone treatment belongs with A/C cleaning: if you tackle the air conditioning system properly, this is the logical next step.
