12 Watts UV Sterilizer

12 Watts UV Sterilizer | What is a UV Water Sterilizer?

A UV water sterilizer is a highly effective tool used in water purification and treatment, ensuring water is free from harmful microorganisms. The term "sterile" refers to being free from living germs or microorganisms. Ultraviolet (UV) sterilizers clean water and kill bacteria and microorganisms that can potentially infest water, even after it has been treated.

UV light is a type of energy found in the electromagnetic spectrum, located between X-rays and visible light. While we cannot see UV rays, we are exposed to them whenever we step out into the sun. UV light is also responsible for causing sunburns.

How UV Water Sterilization Works

UV water purification systems utilize special lamps that emit UV light at specific wavelengths. This UV light is capable of disrupting the DNA of harmful microorganisms present in water. As water flows through the UV system, these microorganisms are exposed to UV light, which damages their genetic structure, making them incapable of reproducing. If microorganisms cannot reproduce, they cannot infect other organisms, thus eliminating potential health risks.

This method is simple but highly effective, destroying 99.99% of harmful microorganisms without adding chemicals to the water. Over the years, ultraviolet technology has become a preferred method for water disinfection due to its effectiveness and cost-efficiency.

Applications of UV Sterilization in Water

Water Bottling Plants

In the water bottling industry, UV sterilizers are essential for eliminating bacteria and microorganisms that may build up in storage tanks. This ensures the water is safe and clean for bottling.

Cooking Water

For households, a UV sterilizer can be added to your domestic water system to ensure the water used for cooking is bacteria-free and safe for consumption. It guarantees that you cook with clean, purified water.

Technical Features

• Flow Rate: 5440 LPH / 12 GPM
• Inlet/Outlet Size: 3/4”
• Diameter: 62.5mm
• Length: 960mm

Parts of the UV System

1. Ultraviolet Power Supply Unit

   • The main control unit of the UV system, regulating the electrical output to power the UV-C light. Some systems come with advanced features such as alarms, timers, and troubleshooting lights.

2. Inlet for Untreated Water

   • The entry point where untreated water flows into the UV system for disinfection.

3. UV System Housing

   • Contains the UV bulb and quartz sleeve, controlling the flow of water through the system.

4. Outlet for Treated Water

   • The outlet where purified water exits the system, ready for use.

5. UV Bulb

   • The UV bulb emits UV-C light, which is responsible for killing harmful microorganisms in the water. The type of bulb used depends on the system’s specific disinfection needs.

6. UV Quartz Sleeve

   • The quartz sleeve protects the UV lamp from direct contact with water. Regular cleaning is important, as mineral buildup can cloud the sleeve and reduce its effectiveness.
