The UV-LED module illuminating UV light into an interior of the hollow conduit, the UV light reflecting down the interior of the hollow conduit
Claims20
A Point of Use (POU) filtration device comprising:
- a hollow conduit having open ends;
- an Ultraviolet Light Emitting Diode (UV-LED) module coupled to the hollow container, the UV-LED module illuminating UV light into an interior of the hollow conduit, the UV light reflecting down the interior of the hollow conduit.
A Point of Use (POU) filtration device comprising:
- a hollow conduit having open ends, wherein the hollow conduit comprises:
- an outer tube, an interior of the outer tube having UV reflective material;
- and
- an inner tube formed of UV penetrable material, wherein the inner tube slides within the outer tube;
- an opening formed through an exterior surface of the outer tube into the interior of the outer tube;
- an Ultraviolet Light Emitting Diode (UV-LED) module coupled to the outer tube and positioned over the opening formed through the exterior surface of the outer tube, the UV-LED module illuminating UV light through the opening and into an interior of the outer tube, the UV reflective material allowing the UV light to reflect down an entire length of the outer tube and penetrating the interior of the inner tube formed of UV penetrable material.
