UV sterilizer for water treatment is a disinfection device that uses ultraviolet (UV-C) light to effectively destroy harmful microorganisms in water without the use of chemicals. It is widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial water systems to ensure safe, clean, and microbiologically purified water.
How It Works
UV sterilizers emit UV-C light (wavelength ~254 nanometers), which penetrates the cell walls of microorganisms and disrupts their DNA or RNA. This process prevents replication and renders the organisms harmless, achieving up to 99.99% sterilization efficiency.
Main Components
UV-C Lamp – High-output germicidal lamp designed for maximum disinfection efficiency.
Quartz Sleeve – Transparent tube that shields the lamp while allowing UV light to pass through the water.
Reactor Chamber – Stainless steel or polymer housing that directs water flow and optimizes exposure.
Electronic Ballast/Controller – Powers the lamp and may include indicators for lamp status, failure alarms, and countdown timers.
Flow Ports – Inlet and outlet for integration into water lines.
Features
Disinfects up to 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa
Chemical-free process – no chlorine, no harmful by-products
