Embodiment Construction

[0021]In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components and circuits may not have been described in detail so as not to obscure the present invention.

[0022]Some demonstrative embodiments of the invention include an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system having a conduit to carry liquid to be disinfected and an illumination source located inside a transparent sleeve positioned substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the conduit and the direction of flow of the liquid.

[0023]It will be appreciated that the liquid disinfection process may include inactivation or removal of any organism, bacteria, microorganism, being, creature, microbe, germ, virus, organic contamina...

Abstract

Some demonstrative embodiments of the invention include an illumination-based liquid disinfection device. The disinfection device may include, for example, a light transparent conduit to carry a flowing liquid to be disinfected, the conduit having an inlet to receive the liquid and an outlet to discharge the liquid, a substantially light transparent sleeve having external dimensions smaller than the internal dimensions of the conduit, the sleeve positioned within the conduit substantially perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the conduit and a light source positioned within the sleeve.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This Application is a National Phase of PCT Application No. PCT / IL2007 / 001409, International filing date Nov. 14, 2007, claiming priority of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 60 / 858,727, filed on Nov. 14, 2006.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Ultraviolet liquid disinfection systems using UV light source located within a metallic chamber through which the liquid flow have been long known. The walls of such a metallic chamber absorb most of the incident UV light and light rays emitted from the UV light source traverse through the water once and are essentially absorbed by the metal. Accordingly, such systems do not utilize the light source in an efficient manner. There is a need for a UV disinfection system that would be more efficient than existing systems.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0003]The subject matter regarded as the invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. The ...
