Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9501307A1] Apparatus for treating a fluid comprising a tube (27) defining a fluid flow passage (28) and a chamber (33) surrounding the fluid flow passage. An ultraviolet radiation source (40) is provided for transmitting ultraviolet radiation into the interior of the chamber (33). The ultraviolet radiation source (40) is disposed within the interior of the chamber, and means (50) are provided for conducting a gas through the chamber whereby the gas can be exposed to ultraviolet radiation within the chamber. The tube (27) may be transparent to ultraviolet radiation so that fluid flowing therealong is also exposed to ultraviolet radiation.
