Abstract
A light source assembly that can be connected to a reactor and which includes an board with a plurality of ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDS) and a first electrical connector that is connected to a cable for supplying electrical power to the first board. The light source assembly includes an interconnector board that is separated from the LED board and which includes a second electrical connector that is connected to the cable and a third electrical connector that can connect to another cable, e.g., for supplying power to the light source assembly.
Claims16
A light source assembly that comprises:
- a housing unit containing:
- (i) a first board that includes an array of UV light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a first electrical connector that is connected to a first cable for supplying electrical power to the first board;
- and
- (ii) an interconnector board that is separated from the first board and includes (i) a second electrical connector that is connected to the first cable;
- and (ii) a third electrical connector that is configured to connect to a second cable.
An apparatus for treating a fluid with UV light, comprising:
- (a) a reactor with an inner volume that defines a treatment chamber through which the fluid flows;
- and
- (b) a light source assembly that includes (i) a first board with a plurality of UV light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a first electrical connector that is connected to a first cable that can supply electrical power to the first board, and (ii) an interconnector board that is separated from the first board and includes a second electrical connector that is connected to the cable;
- and (iii) a third electrical connector that can connect to a second cable,
- wherein the light source assembly is arranged so that the UV LEDs are positioned within the treatment chamber, and the interconnector board is positioned outside of the treatment chamber.
An interconnector board that includes (i) a first electrical connector of a first type that can connect to a first cable for receiving power;
- (ii) a second electrical connector of a second type that can connect to a second cable for transmitting power;
- and (iii) a safety switch that is configured to cut electrical power to the second electrical connector when it is triggered.
