An air sanitization system including a housing having an inlet and an outlet, an ozone generator disposed in the housing and positioned between the inlet and outlet, at least one fiber optic cable positioned in visible proximity to the ozone generator, a visible light detector, and a controller. The housing is configured to receive a flow of an oxygen-containing gas through the inlet, and the ozone generator generates ozone from the flow of oxygen-containing gas. The at least one fiber optic cable is configured to receive and transmit visible light from the ozone generator. The visible light detector detects an amount of visible light transmitted by the at least one fiber optic cable. The controller is in communication with the visible light detector for determining whether the amount of visible light transmitted by the at least one fiber optic cable corresponds to a failure of the ozone generator.

Air sanitization system with fiber optic monitoring system

A refrigeration case monitoring system. In one embodiment, the refrigeration case monitoring system includes a first fiber optic cable, a second fiber optic cable, and a control system having a first sensing channel and a second sensing channel. The first fiber optic cable transmits a signal that is indicative of a refrigeration case condition. The second fiber optic cable transmits a signal that is indicative of a second refrigeration case condition. The control system receives the signals from the first and second fiber optic cables using the first and second sensing channels, processes the signals, and provides an output related to the first and second refrigeration case conditions.
