6 Watts UV Sterilizer

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

A UV water sterilizer is an efficient device used in water purification and treatment, making water healthier and prolonging the life of treated water. The term "sterile" refers to water being free from living germs or microorganisms. UV sterilizers effectively clean water by killing harmful bacteria and microorganisms, which can infest water even after it has been treated.

UV light is a form of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, between X-rays and visible light. While humans cannot see UV light, we are exposed to it daily when we step out into the sun, where it causes sunburns.

How Does UV Water Sterilization Work?

UV Water Purification systems utilize specialized lamps that emit UV light at a precise wavelength, capable of disrupting the DNA of harmful microorganisms in the water. As water flows through the UV system, microorganisms are exposed to UV light, which damages their genetic code and prevents them from reproducing. Without the ability to replicate, these microorganisms cannot infect other organisms.

This method of exposing water to ultraviolet light is highly effective and destroys 99.99% of harmful microorganisms without introducing chemicals. It’s a simple and efficient process for purifying water, commonly recommended as a post-treatment step for many water purification systems.

Applications of UV in Water

Water Bottling Plants

In the water bottling industry, UV sterilizers are essential to ensure that all harmful bacteria and microorganisms are eliminated from the water before bottling. This guarantees the water is safe and clean for consumers.

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.

Technical Features

• Inlet/Outlet Size: 1/2”
• Diameter: 50mm
• Length: 450mm

Parts of the UV System

1. Ultraviolet Power Supply Unit

   • The control unit that powers the UV-C light required for water purification. It regulates the electrical output and may feature advanced options like alarms, lamp change timers, and trouble indicators.

2. Inlet for Untreated Water

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

3. UV System Housing

   • The housing contains the UV lamp and quartz sleeve, managing the water’s flow through the system.

4. Outlet for Treated Water

   • The exit point where the purified water is released, ready for use.

5. UV Bulb

   • The UV bulb emits UV-C light, which is responsible for killing harmful microorganisms in the water.

6. UV Quartz Sleeve

   • The quartz sleeve protects the UV lamp from the flow of water. It is important to clean the sleeve periodically, especially when changing the UV lamp, as mineral buildup can impair the effectiveness of the system.

Conclusion

The 6 Watts UV Sterilizer offers an affordable, efficient, and chemical-free solution for water purification. Whether you need to purify water for your water bottling plant or ensure that your household water is bacteria-free for cooking, this UV sterilizer provides reliable, continuous disinfection.
