UV Sciences new UVS family of UV light-based water purification chambers represent a dramatic improvement in the energy efficiency of UV water treatment chambers. The patented design features incorporated into the UVS series of highly reflective treatment chambers use fundamental science to provide superior performance. Under a wide range of UV transmittances, these chambers deliver the desired UV dose to the product more efficiently and uniformly than any other chamber available today.
This efficiency increase is so large that it often invites skepticism as to whether it is possible to truly achieve such an increase. However, the UVS performance improvement over conventional stainless steel-chambered reactors and even those using some type of reflector to improve the efficiency is based on one of the most basic principles in physics – conservation of energy.
A small target also requires the designer to minimize any other absorbers within the volume, so that the energy is mostly deposited in the target rather than the other absorbers. This includes the reflector – it must absorb as little energy as possible to create a very efficient system. From a practical standpoint, this means that the reflector employed must have as high a reflectivity as possible, and that anything inside the chamber must be designed to absorb as little of the energy as possible.
