UV Sterilizer H Series

UV sterilizer has high value in water treatment. It destroys and changes the DNA structure of microorganisms through the irradiation of ultraviolet light, so that the bacteria die immediately or cannot reproduce their offspring to achieve the purpose of sterilization. It is ZXB ultraviolet that really has the bactericidal effect , because the C-band ultraviolet is easily absorbed by the organism's DNA, especially the ultraviolet around 253.7nm. Ultraviolet sterilizer is a purely physical disinfection method. It has the advantages of simple and convenient, broad-spectrum and high-efficiency, no secondary pollution, easy management and automation. With the introduction of various new-designed ultraviolet lamps, the application range of ultraviolet sterilization has also continued Expanding.

What does a UV sterilizer do?

A UV sterilizer is used to control infections by stopping the spread of microorganisms from one fish/coral/invertebrate to another through the water. It is also used in pond applications to control free-floating algae. When operated correctly, free-floating microorganisms will be killed by the UV light. Note that the organisms must be in the water that flows to the UV sterilizer. The UV light has no residual effect and will not kill organisms attached to fish (e.g., adult stage of ich) or rocks (e.g., algae). 



 

How do UV sterilizers work?

The UV sterilizer utilizes a germicidal fluorescent lamp that produces light at a wavelength of approximately 254 nanometers (2537 Angstroms). The water with the bacteria/algae passes over the bulb (or around the bulb if a quartz sleeve is used) and is irradiated with this wavelength. As the light penetrates the bacteria/algae, it mutates the DNA (genetic material), preventing growth/multiplication of the organism.
