Abstract:
The present invention includes a UV-transmissive protective tube accommodated in a pressure-resistant container, a UV lamp accommodated in the protective tube, and a UV-transmissive water passage tube accommodated in the container. Liquid to be treated flows in the water passage tube. The remaining space in the container is filled with a UV-transmissive liquid medium, and UV rays from the UV lamp are radiated to the to-be-treated liquid through the protective tube, the liquid medium, and the water passage tube. The water passage tube is placed in the liquid medium, and thus, pressures inside and outside the water passage tube are substantially equal, in such a manner that the water pressure resistance of the water passage tube is substantially equal to the water pressure resistance of the container, and as a result, there is no need to particularly increase the strength of the water passage tube.

Claim (Index 1):
A UV irradiation apparatus comprising:\n a pressure resistant container; a UV-transmissive protective tube accommodated in the container; a UV lamp accommodated in the protective tube; and a UV-transmissive water passage tube accommodated in the container and constructed in such a manner that to-be-treated liquid is caused to flow through the water passage tube, a remaining space within the container being filled with a UV-transmissive liquid medium, UV rays from the UV lamp being radiated to the to-be-treated liquid through the protective tube, the liquid medium, and the water passage tube.
