1. An ozone generator comprising:
a portable housing including a first air inlet and a first ozone outlet;
a UV lamp section comprising UV lamps that are configured to emit UV radiation for generating ozone by applying UV radiation to air as the air moves through the UV lamp section;
a blower contained within the portable housing to move the air into contact with the radiation of the UV lamps;
a temperature sensor proximate to UV lamps to collect a temperature measurement of the air proximate to the UV lamps;
a first output device configured to adjust an intensity of the UV lamps;
a controller including a control application for execution within the controller, the controller and the application are configured to receive the temperature measurement from the temperature sensor and utilize a predetermined algorithm to control the first output device for adjusting the intensity of the UV lamps based on the temperature measurement;
an ozone sensor proximate to the first ozone outlet to collect an ozone concentration measurement of the ozone exiting the first ozone outlet of the portable housing; and,
a second output device configured to adjust at least one of an inlet size of the first air inlet and an outlet size of the first ozone outlet; wherein the controller and the application are configured to receive the ozone concentration measurement from the ozone sensor and utilize a predetermined algorithm to control the second output device for adjusting at least one of the inlet size and the outlet size based on the ozone concentration measurement.
