What is UV sterilizer?
UV sterilizer definition

UV sterilizer, full name is
ultraviolet sterilizer, is the use of specially designed high-efficiency, high-intensity, and long-life UV-C light generation device to produce strong UV-C light irradiation water to achieve the purpose of disinfection sterilizer, is a scientific sterilization apparatus with sterilization and other functions.
Application of UV sterilizer

Because of the high efficiency of
UV sterilizers, they are now widely used in many fields,
*
UV sterilization equipment can be used for disinfection of water in hospitals, laboratories, and wastewater with high pathogenic content.
* It can be used for disinfection of cooling water for biochemical pharmaceutical and cosmetic production.
* It can be used for disinfection of water in swimming pools, water recreation facilities, seawater, freshwater nursery, aquariums, etc.
* Can be used for food processing industry water disinfection.
How does UV sterilizer work?

The working principle of UV sterilizer is to use UV light to disinfect and sterilize. Ultraviolet is a kind of light wave invisible to the naked eye, which exists on the outer side of the violet ray end of the spectrum, so it is called ultraviolet. Ultraviolet light is one of the electromagnetic waves from solar radiation and is usually classified into four categories according to wavelength as follows
It is a special form of matter operation, a stream of unconnected particles. When UV radiation hits a microorganism, energy transfer and accumulation occur, and the accumulation results in the inactivation of the microorganism, thus achieving the purpose of disinfection. When bacteria and viruses absorb more than 3600~65000uW/c㎡ dose, it has a strong destructive power to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) of bacteria and viruses, which can make bacteria and viruses lose their viability and reproduction power, and then destroy them to achieve disinfection and sterilization effect. On the one hand, UVC can mutate nucleic acids, prevent their replication, transcription blockade, and protein synthesis; on the other hand, the generation of free radicals can cause photoionization, which leads to cell death.
The germicidal principle of the UVC sterilizer is the use of UV lamp irradiation intensity, that is, the intensity of irradiation emitted by the UVC germicidal lamp, and the distance of the sterilized object is inversely proportional. When the irradiation intensity is certain, the longer the disinfection object is illuminated, the closer it is to the germicidal lamp, the better the germicidal effect, and vice versa, the worse.
Advantages of using UV sterilizer
1. UV sterilizer high-efficiency sterilization: UVC sterilization of bacteria, and viruses use generally in one to two seconds can reach a 99% -99.9% sterilization rate.
2. UV sterilizer efficient sterilization broad-spectrum: UVC sterilization broad-spectrum is the highest, it can kill almost all bacteria, and viruses, with high efficiency.
3. UV sterilizer without secondary pollution: UV sterilization does not add any chemicals, so it does not produce secondary pollution of the water and the surrounding environment. Do not change any components of the water.
4. UV sterilizer is safe and reliable: traditional disinfection techniques such as chlorination or ozone, the disinfectant itself is a highly toxic, flammable substance. And the UV disinfection system does not have such a safety hazard.
5. UV sterilizer and operation and maintenance costs are low: UV sterilization equipment covers an area of small, simple building requirements, so the total investment is less. Terms of operating costs are also low, in the thousand tons of water treatment volume level, its cost is only 1/2 of chlorine disinfection.
Germicidal efficiency of UV sterilizer
Ultraviolet sterilization machine has other technologies with unparalleled sterilization efficiency. Germicidal efficiency can reach 99%-99.9%. And the sterilization time is very short, bacteria can only be inactivated in 1 second. The traditional chlorine, ozone and other chemical disinfection methods to achieve the germicidal effect of UVC generally take 20 minutes to 1 hour.
Types of UV sterilizer
Pipeline UV sterilizer

Pipeline UV sterilizer, also called overflow UV sterilizer, connected to the flowing water pipe, turn on the power UV lamp work, water flow through the light irradiation area, on the automatic sterilization of the water body, to achieve the required water quality, UV sterilizer generated by the local excitation can make the treated water turbulence phenomenon, so that the water and UV more fully and uniform contact, to achieve a more efficient sterilization effect; at the same time UV sterilizer UV light combined with a wavelength of 254nm strong ultraviolet C (UV-C) irradiation water flow, to achieve further broad-spectrum sterilization, so that the treated water in a very short time to achieve sterilization effect.
Medium pressure UV sterilizer

The medium pressure of a medium pressure UV sterilizer actually refers to the gas pressure inside the lamp. The main advancement is the ability to create lamps that produce higher output power than low-pressure lamps, which provides a more powerful disinfection capability. Medium-pressure technology uses fewer lamps, has a small footprint and compact equipment, and tends to provide a higher level of inactivation than low-pressure UV at the same dose.
Open channel UV sterilizer

Open channel UV sterilizer through the UV lamp arranged in the slotted ditch emits short-wave ultraviolet radiation wavelength of 253.7nm to sterilize the water flowing through the ditch, thus solving the problem of excessive bacteria in the treated sewage, so that the bacteria in the discharged water reaches and exceeds the relevant national discharge standards. It is mainly used for disinfection of municipal wastewater, domestic wastewater, hospital wastewater, industrial wastewater and water reuse, etc.

How to install UV sterilizer?
1. UV sterilizer is suitable for indoor safety equipment, outdoor safety equipment must be installed with rainproof and dustproof facilities.
2. The UV sterilizer built-in quartz casing and UV lamp are fragile items, so they should be handled lightly during transportation, safe installation and use to avoid bumping and violent vibration.
3. The UV disinfector should be installed horizontally and safely, not vertically, and the barrel should not be subjected to external pressure, not to touch the quartz casing in the import and export.
4. UV disinfector should be safely installed at the outlet of the water tank or pool, if the water pressure is high, it should be safely installed in the low pressure area at the front of the pump inlet or with a pressure reducing valve.
5. Ultraviolet sterilizer safety installed at both ends of the equipment are left ≥ 1 m and 0.5 m space (high-power models should be left 1.6 m and 0.5 m space), so as to facilitate the replacement of the lamp, the electric control box should be not less than 0.5 m space in front of the maintenance.
6. The two ends of the UV disinfector inlet and outlet can be chosen as either one as the water inlet, one as the outlet, the customer to follow up their own convenience to choose.
7. The UV sterilizer should be equipped with bypass pipeline and shut-off valve for easy maintenance when it is safely installed.
8. Before commissioning for water operation, the construction residual debris in the pipeline should be flushed and cleared in a by-pass manner, and the water quality should be clean before opening the UV disinfector import and export valves.
9. UV disinfector safety installed after the completion of the first water test, check the leakage before opening the power supply. After all the lamps work normally for 3-5 minutes (the lamp indicator shows that the lamps are normal), only then can the water be turned on. First open the water valve, and then open the water valve, the equipment began to run work.
