Abstract: A water purification system includes one or more UV light sources that produce germicidal UV light and provide the UV light to a given amount of fluid contained in a chamber as a batch or as flowing through the chamber. An inner surface of the chamber, that may be reflective, is coated with a thin plastic film, such as polypropylene, that is highly transmissive to UV germicidal light. The thin plastic film separates the inner surface from the fluid, and the UV light passes through the thin plastic film to reach the fluid that is being purified in the chamber. The thin plastic film may be melted at relatively low temperatures to provide heat sealing of the surface to produce the chamber. Alternatively, the thin plastic film may be readily shaped as a bag or pipe that contains or directs fluid flow.

Abstract: A water purification system includes one or more germicidal UV light sources that operate within an amplifying chamber that contains a given amount of fluid as a batch or as flowing through the chamber at any given time. The amplifying chamber has a highly reflective inner surface that redirects the germicidal UV light that reaches the highly reflective inner surface back through the fluid simultaneously in substantially all directions. A power source drives the one or more UV light sources to provide to the fluid contained within the amplifying chamber a fraction of the total UV energy that is required to purify the given amount of fluid. The amplifying chamber repeatedly redirects the UV light that reaches the highly reflective inner surface back into the fluid, to provide a dose required to purify the fluid.

Abstract translation: 水净化系统包括一个或多个杀菌的UV光源，其在放大室内操作，所述放大室包含给定量的流体作为批料或在任何给定时间流过所述室。 放大室具有高度反射的内表面，其将基本上所有方向同时地通过流体重新定向到达高反射性内表面的杀菌UV光。 电源驱动一个或多个UV光源以向放大室内所包含的流体提供净化给定量的流体所需的总UV能量的一部分。 放大室将到达高度反射的内表面的UV光反复重定向到流体中，以提供净化流体所需的剂量。
