Operating QT Storm
Following are basic guidelines for eliminating odors continuously in rooms up to 10,000 cubic feet.
T
his unit is designed to be used in areas that have ongoing odor problems. You can
maximize the results if you expose fabrics fully, open interior doors and turn on your air
handling system. Keep in mind that ozone is a surface agent and must make contact with
the source of the odors to insure complete deodorization. While this unit is designed to run
continuously it should be monitored to insure that ozone levels do not exceed OSHA safety levels
of .04 ppm. Following is a formula and chart to help you determine the best setting for your ozone
unit when dealing with specific odors. This is a general guideline only as the output will vary
substantially depending on the odor factor, temperature and humidity.
AREA x ODOR FACTOR = MG/HR REGUIRED
1. Measure the Cubic Footage (L x W x H)
of the room to be treated = A (area)
2. Estimate the Odor Factor (B) as follows:
* Light Odors
= 0.005
* Medium Odors = 0.018
* Strong Odors
= 0.036
3. Multiply A x B to determine MG/HR needed to eliminate the odor.
4. Use the chart to the Right to determine the setting for your unit.
5. Adjust the settings as needed for complete odor control.
Example: A room 15' x 20' x 8' = 2400 cu/ft x .018 Medium Odor = 43.20 mg/hr.
Set ozone knob to 2. While smell is not an accurate guide to ozone levels, in levels above .03
ppm ozone has a very strong unpleasant odor. If you are experiencing a strong odor, head-
ache, dry nose and/or dry throat, you should either turn the unit down or off to allow the
levels to dissipate.
Now that you have determined the approximate MG/HR necessary to eliminate the odor, operating
instructions are as follows:
1. Turn ozone-setting knob to appropriate setting.
2. Plug the unit into a standard outlet.
3. Place the unit on a table or counter off the ground. Ozone is heavier than air, so the higher the
better.
4. Turn the unit on.
5. Be sure to monitor the unit and adjust ozone setting as required for complete odor control.
6. Perform maintenance on your QT Storm on a monthly basis. Maintenance instructions can be
found on the last page of this manual.
How Does QT Storm Eliminate Odors?
All Queenaire Technologies, Inc. units eliminate odors by producing a controlled level of ozone.
Ozone is created naturally in our environment by lightning and the suns ultraviolet rays. It is best
known for its benefit in the stratosphere for protecting us from the suns rays. What you may not
know is that it is also that fresh smell you experience after a lightning storm. Ozone is Mother
Nature's solution to outdoor odor problems. QT Storm incorporates a technology that duplicates
the effect of lightning and creates ozone indoors. The end result is the same, a fresh, odor free
environment.

on a regular basis. It is recommended that you perform a simple cleaning and maintenance of your

Before you begin performing any work to your ozone unit, be sure to unplug the electrical cord.

Step 1.) Remove two screws on the top of the unit as well as the top two screws on each side of the
10
300 mg/hr
unit. Remove the top cover from the unit.
Step 2.) Carefully remove the white ceramic generator plate from its frame. The plate should lift
easily by pulling from the top straight up and out of the frame. Use an alcohol wipe to gently wipe
the plate free of any dirt or stains. Inspect the plate carefully for cracks, breaks or irremovable
stains. The plate can be reused provided there are no breaks or stains.
Step 3.) Use the same alcohol wipe to wipe out the exposed areas inside the unit. Spread the
generator frame apart to wipe the inside of the metal plates that make contact with the generator
plate. Be sure to also wipe the base of the frame completely.
Step 4.) Once the ceramic plate is completely dry, reinsert the plate into the generator frame or
replace the existing plate with a new one.
Step 5.) Reattach the top cover to the unit and put screws back in place.
Step 6.) Remove and discard the green filter on the back of the machine and replace with new
filter.
Step 7.) You may at this point have to change your 125mA fuse. To test your fuse, simply turn the
unit on. If the green ozone light comes on you have completed maintenance of the unit and are
ready to put it back in service. If the light does not come on, locate the 125mA fuse holder on the
back of the unit and remove the holder with a flat head screwdriver by turning the holder 1/4 turn.
Remove the blown fuse and replace. Your unit should now be ready to go back to work.
