Abstract:
An apparatus for generating active oxygen ions comprisingan electrical transformer generating an electrical high-voltage sufficient for air ionization; an air ionizer connected to the electrical transformer; a sensor for determining the content of oxidizable gases in the air; and an electrical control unit connected to the electrical transformer, to the air ionizer, and to the sensor, which electronic control unit changes the electrical energy fed in to the air ionizer based on the content of oxidizable gases in the air as determined by the sensor such that in case of a low concentrations of oxidizable gases present in the air then only a small ionization power is effected, wherein the ionization power of the air ionizer increases to a maximum value as automatically controlled by the sensor and the control unit when an increase in concentration of oxidizable gases is sensed by the sensor.
