Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ultraviolet sterilization device that can increase the ultraviolet irradiance near the center of a treatment flow path even at a position far from a light emitting element. This ultraviolet sterilization device comprises: a flow path tube having a linear treatment flow path therein; a light emitting element for emitting ultraviolet rays; and a reflector having a reflection surface for reflecting ultraviolet rays emitted from the light emitting element and collecting and directing the ultraviolet rays to the flow path tube. The ultraviolet sterilization device irradiates a fluid flowing in the linear treatment flow path with ultraviolet rays and sterilizes the fluid.
Claims10
An ultraviolet sterilization apparatus that sterilizes a fluid flowing through a linear treatment channel by irradiation of the fluid with ultraviolet radiation, the ultraviolet sterilization apparatus, comprising:
- a channel pipe having therein the linear treatment channel;
- a light emitting element that emits the ultraviolet radiation;
- and
- a reflector having a reflective surface that reflects the ultraviolet radiation emitted from the light emitting element to collect the ultraviolet radiation toward the channel pipe.
An ultraviolet irradiation apparatus for sterilizing a fluid flowing through a linear treatment channel by irradiation of the fluid with ultraviolet radiation, the ultraviolet irradiation apparatus, comprising:
- a light emitting element that emits the ultraviolet radiation;
- and
- a reflector having a reflective surface that reflects the ultraviolet radiation emitted from the light emitting element to collect the ultraviolet radiation in a direction in which a channel pipe is to be disposed.
