Ultraviolet water disinfection reactor for installing in an existing water pipeline

摘要

An ultraviolet water disinfection reactor installed in an existing water pipeline including a body positioned between a pair of ends formed by dividing the pipeline, a plurality of Quartz sleeves extending through the body, a plurality of ultraviolet lamps extending through the plurality of sleeves, respectively, and a plurality of ballasts electrically communicating with the plurality of lamps, respectively, so as to allow each of the plurality of lamps to have a separate power unit. The plurality of sleeves extend through the body transversely to the axial direction of flow so as to be of varying lengths relative to each other. The plurality of sleeves lie in a plane that is perpendicular to the axial direction of flow so as to provide minimal flow restriction and pressure drop and a relatively uniform irradiance field of exposure by virtue of no path passing far from one of the plurality of lamps.
