More Information
Summary:An apparatus for treating fluids with UV comprises a housing for receiving a flow of fluid having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a reaction chamber; and an assembly of UV sources positioned substantially perpendicular to the fluid. The assembly includes at least first and second pairs of UV sources located in the reactor chamber. The first pair of UV sources has upper and lower UV sources that are positioned relative to each other at a span that is greater than the span between the upper and lower UV sources in the second pair. The second pair is positioned in either the upstream or downstream flow of fluid such that the plane created by the upper UV sources of each pair of UV sources intersects with the plane created by the lower UV sources of each pair of UV sources Subsequent UV sources or pairs of UV sources may be advantageously used. The apparatus may be combined with a baffle arrangement wherein the baffles are preferably positioned in such a way to direct the fluid now into the treatment area.
