How does Ultraviolet (UV) Sterilizer work?

Oct. 17, 2024

Working Principle

Ultraviolet light can break chemical bonds in certain organic compounds, causing fundamental changes in their biological properties and achieving disinfection effects. The most commonly used ultraviolet light is produced by low-pressure mercury vapor lamps, with a wavelength of 253.7 nm. The degree of disinfection is directly dependent on the product of the contact time and ultraviolet light intensity. The effective ultraviolet dose is related to the organic matter content. Typical ultraviolet disinfection systems can deliver doses greater than 30,000 .S/cm². Ultraviolet disinfection has the advantage of not adding chemicals to the water, so it is widely used in various fields. In particular, in the electronics industry. The disadvantage is that there is no residual disinfection dose in the water. Water may be re-contaminated by microorganisms in the pipelines.

 

Advantages of ultraviolet disinfection:

1. Can quickly and effectively kill various bacteria, viruses and other microorganism;

2. Can effectively dechlorinate water through photolysis;

3. Simple operation and convenient maintenance;

4. Small footprint and large treatment capacity;

5. No pollution, strong environmental friendliness, no side effects;

6. Low investment cost and low operating cost, easy installation;

7. Unique internal wall treatment process designed using optical principles, allowing the maximum utilization of ultraviolet light in the chamber, thereby doubling the disinfection effect.
