Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil de stérilisation utilisant un module de DEL UV et, plus précisément, un appareil pour stériliser un fluide s'écoulant à travers une tuyauterie à l'aide d'un module de DEL UV. Un appareil de stérilisation d'un fluide selon un mode de réalisation de la présente invention comprend : une tuyauterie à travers laquelle un fluide s'écoule; et au moins un module de DEL UV installé pour irradier des rayons ultraviolets vers l'intérieur de la tuyauterie, ledit module de DEL UV étant agencé pour irradier les rayons ultraviolets dans une direction dans laquelle le fluide s'écoule dans la tuyauterie ou dans une direction opposée à la direction dans laquelle le fluide s'écoule dans la tuyauterie. L'appareil de stérilisation d'un fluide selon la présente invention permet de stériliser efficacement des bactéries contenues dans le fluide en augmentant le temps d'exposition aux ultraviolets du fluide s'écoulant dans la tuyauterie.
