UV Sterilizer – Comprehensive Antibacterial, Water Purification

The UV sterilizer uses shortwave ultraviolet light to disrupt the DNA or RNA of microorganisms in water, thereby preventing their reproduction and ability to infect. This effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms in the water. In water purifiers, it is typically employed as the final treatment step to ensure that the water quality meets safety standards. It is particularly effective at eliminating bacteria and viruses that cannot be completely removed by filtration systems. Unlike traditional chemical disinfection methods, UV sterilization avoids harmful side effects, making it an eco-friendly and sustainable disinfection solution.

Structure

Stainless steel chamber. Wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant.
Outlet. The disinfected water flows out from here.
UV lamp. It is used to disrupt the DNA structure of bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms to achieve sterilization.
Quartz tube. It prevents water from directly contacting the lamp while maintaining high ultraviolet transmittance.
Inlet. Water that has not been disinfected enters from here.
Nut: It secures connector.
Connector. It connects the sterilizer to the circuit.
Ballast. It adjusts the voltage and current of the lamp to ensure stable operation of the UV lamp.
Plug. It connects to the power supply.

Features

Efficient sterilization. It eliminates more than 99.99% of bacteria and viruses in a short time.
Environmentally friendly. No chemical additives, no by-products, and no pollution.
Easy to operate. Easy installation and maintenance, compatible with other water purification systems.
High safety. The range of ultraviolet action is limited to the interior of the equipment, posing no harm to users.
Low cost. Long-term operating costs are relatively low, mainly involving the replacement of UV lamps.

Principle

The core principle of the UV sterilizer is the photolysis effect of ultraviolet light. When water containing microorganisms passes through the device, the ultraviolet light emitted by the UV lamp penetrates the cell membranes of the microorganisms, disrupting their DNA or RNA chains, thereby rendering the microorganisms incapable of reproduction and infection. Water treated with UV disinfection can meet the hygiene standards for drinking water.
