Ultraviolet disinfection apparatus

Abstract

An ultraviolet disinfection apparatus being integral to existing pipe system is provided, comprising a hollow body with at least two open ends and an arbitrary cross-section, a UV module and a control module. The hollow body is configured for receiving the UV module, and to communicate with at least one end of a pipe structure such that a medium passing therethrough will not leak. The hollow body has an inner surface and an outer surface; the inner surface includes one or more interior structures defined by one or more partition walls for sub-dividing hollow space of the hollow body into at least two relatively smaller hollow spaces. The UV module comprises one or more UV LED arrays arranged independently or severally on the inner surface and/or the interior structures to increase UV exposure to the medium. The control module is remotely connected to the UV module outside the hollow body.
