Abstract
A fluid processing apparatus includes: a casing having a fluid inlet pipe and a fluid outlet pipe; multiple rectifying plates with holes in parallel with each other provided within the casing on a side of the fluid inlet pipe, the rectifying plates being perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the casing; and a light source for irradiating fluid passing from the fluid inlet pipe through the casing to the fluid outlet pipe with ultraviolet rays.
Claims19
A fluid processing apparatus comprising:
- a casing having a fluid inlet pipe and a fluid outlet pipe;
- multiple rectifying plates with holes in parallel with each other provided within said casing on a side of said fluid inlet pipe, said rectifying plates being perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said casing;
- and
- a light source for irradiating fluid passing from said fluid inlet pipe through said casing to said fluid outlet pipe with ultraviolet rays,
- wherein, when a first one of said multiple rectifying, plates is closer to said fluid inlet pipe than a second one of said multiple rectifying plates, a diameter of the holes in said second rectifying plate is smaller than a diameter of the holes h said first rectifying plate.

A fluid processing apparatus comprising:
- a cylindrical casing having a fluid inlet pipe and a fluid outlet pipe;
- multiple rectifying plates with holes in parallel with each other provided within said casing on a side of said fluid inlet pipe, said rectifying plates being perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said casing;
- and
- a light source for irradiating fluid passing from said fluid inlet pipe through said casing to said fluid outlet pipe with ultraviolet rays,
- said multiple rectifying plates comprising at least a first rectifying plate on a side of said fluid inlet pipe and a second rectifying plate distant from said first rectifying plate on a downstream side of said first rectifying plate, a diameter of the holes of said first rectifying plate being larger than a diameter of the holes of said second rectifying plate,
- said cylindrical casing being divided by said second rectifying plate into a rectifying chamber and an ultraviolet ray irradiating chamber,
- said fluid inlet pipe and said first rectifying plate being provided h said rectifying chamber,
- an ultraviolet transmitting window being provided in said ultraviolet ray irradiating chamber opposing said second rectifying plate for passing said ultraviolet rays from said light source into said ultraviolet ray irradiating chamber, thus irradiating fluid in said ultraviolet ray irradiating chamber with said ultraviolet rays,
- said fluid outlet pipe being provided between said second rectifying plate and said ultraviolet transmitting window.
