Title: Water purifier with u v detector
Inventor: SNOWBALL MALCOLM ROBERT
IPC: C02F1/32
Filed: 1986-05-16
Abstract: An ultra-violet light water purifier comprises a path 14 through which water is conducted and along which ultra-violet light from a U.V. lamp 10 is arranged to be emitted, there being two photo detectors D1,D2 arranged along the path, each viewing the U.V. light in the path through a respective window, and means to compare the detector outputs, the window of one detector 21 being of a material which filters out ultra-violet light at germicidal wavelengths and the other window 21 of a material which passes these wavelengths. The comparison means is a differential amplifier the output of which is indicated on a meter and is also fed to a threshold amplifier connected in the control circuit of an electrically operated valve through which said water passes. The circuit may be set up so that when the intensity of U.V. light from the lamp is sufficient for germicidal purposes the valve is held open, but if the efficiency of the lamp falls to below satisfactory performance, or if it fails altogether or there is a power failure, the valve is automatically closed. <IMAGE>
