High Flow Rate Fluid Disinfection System

摘要

One example of a fluid disinfection unit includes a chamber through which fluid can flow, the chamber having an inlet through which fluid enters the chamber and an outlet through which fluid exits the chamber; a source for illuminating the chamber with ultraviolet light; and a plurality of baffles within the chamber for defining a multiplicity of subchambers within the chamber through which fluid to be purified flows from the inlet to the outlet; each subchamber being located to receive the ultraviolet light; where holes are defined through at least one baffle, and wherein those holes collectively define a fluid flow area that increases with the radial distance from the center of the baffle.

1. A fluid disinfection unit, comprising:
a chamber through which fluid can flow, said chamber having an inlet through which fluid enters said chamber and an outlet through which fluid exits said chamber; a source for illuminating said chamber with ultraviolet light; and a plurality of baffles within said chamber for defining a multiplicity of subchambers within said chamber through which fluid to be purified flows from said inlet to said outlet; each subchamber being located to receive the ultraviolet light; wherein a plurality of holes are defined through at least one said baffle, and wherein said holes collectively define a fluid flow area that increases with the radial distance from the center of said baffle.
