QueenAire QTT3F Thunder Ozone Generator
The QueenAire QT Thunder 24 Series II Ozone Generator is a compact, programmable odor control system designed for ongoing deodorization in commercial, industrial, and institutional environments. With a fixed ozone output of 300 mg/hr and a built-in 7-day programmable timer, this unit automatically treats odor-prone spaces on a scheduled basis—without requiring constant operator attention.
Ideal for locker rooms, classrooms, daycare centers, offices, and similar spaces, the Thunder 24 Series II provides continuous odor management with minimal maintenance. The programmable control system allows multiple daily on/off cycles, ensuring effective deodorization while maintaining safe operational protocols.

Ozone Limitation
- Ozone should not be used in high humidity areas unless dehumidified air is supplied to the generator. Ozone reacts with moisture to create hydrogen peroxide (O3 + H2O = H2O2 and O2). If ozone procedures must be done in high humidity areas bleaching of fabrics and rusting of metals may occur.
- Ozone oxidizes natural rubber (latex) products. In clothing and or other materials elastic is usually a natural rubber product. Ozone can also dry out and bleach untreated leather products. Very few appliances or products contain natural rubber. Most are made of plastic and are unaffected by ozone (if in doubt check with the product manufacturer).
- Ozone in high enough concentrations can be an irritant. Concentrations of 1.0 ppm (parts per million) can produce a sulfur-like odor and may cause headache, and irritation of the eyes and upper respiratory tract. These symptoms should disappear shortly after leaving the exposure area. Ozone should be used in unoccupied areas only when concentrations exceed .04 ppm. If an individual complains of eye, throat, or nose irritation when in the presence of ozone they are likely sensitive to it and should be removed from that environment. Once removed the irritation should subside. Should it persist seek medical advice.
- Plants and animals should also be removed from areas that are to be treated with ozone.
Note: Professional technicians should never expose themselves or others to concentrations of ozone exceeding 0.04 ppm. If you can smell it in the air, you are above that level. Unlike most other cleaning products, which have caused fatalities, there are no known such incidents attributable to ozone. Used with care and the proper respect it is a wonderful tool for the cleaning professional.
FAQs About Ozone (O3) and Ozone Generators
What Is Ozone (O3)?
Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive form of oxygen made up of three oxygen atoms. It is created naturally by lightning, ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, and other high-energy reactions in the atmosphere. Ozone is widely known for its role in the Earth’s ozone layer, where it helps absorb harmful UV radiation.
In indoor environments, ozone is commonly generated using corona discharge technology or UV light to replicate natural ozone formation. Commercial ozone generators use corona discharge because it produces higher concentrations for odor remediation, mold odor control, and air purification applications.
How Does an Ozone Generator Work to Eliminate Odors?
An ozone generator produces ozone gas, which reacts with odor-causing molecules in the air and on surfaces. Ozone oxidizes volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bacteria, mold spores, and other contaminants that cause unpleasant smells.
Because ozone is an unstable molecule, it breaks down into regular oxygen (O2) after reacting with contaminants. This oxidation process destroys odors at the molecular level rather than masking them with fragrances or filters.
What Are the Benefits of Using an Ozone Generator?
Ozone generators are highly effective for eliminating a wide range of persistent odors, including:
- Tobacco and smoke odors
- Pet and animal odors
- Mold and mildew odors
- Food and garbage odors
- Renovation and chemical odors
- Organic and industrial odors
Unlike traditional air purifiers that require airflow through a filter, ozone travels throughout the space and reacts with contaminants in the air, fabrics, walls, and hard-to-reach surfaces. This makes ozone generators ideal for deep odor remediation in commercial and industrial environments.
What Are Ions and How Are They Produced?
Ions are electrically charged particles formed when energy removes or adds electrons to molecules in the air. Many ozone generators also produce ions during the corona discharge process. Negative ions occur naturally near waterfalls, thunderstorms, and forests, and are often associated with fresh outdoor air.
What Are the Benefits of Negative Ions?
Negative ions can cause airborne particles such as dust, pollen, and smoke to clump together and fall out of the air. This process can help reduce airborne particulates and improve perceived air quality in enclosed spaces. Ionization is often used in conjunction with ozone generation in commercial air treatment systems.
