Abstract:
A fluid sterilization device includes a straight pipe that constitutes a flow passage extending in a longitudinal direction, and a light source that emits ultraviolet light in the longitudinal direction toward a fluid flowing in a laminar state within the flow passage. The light source includes a light emitting element for emitting ultraviolet light and emits ultraviolet light so as to provide an intensity distribution on a cross section of the flow passage perpendicular to a longitudinal direction, in which the ultraviolet intensity in an area near the center is higher than the ultraviolet intensity around the area.

Claim (Index 1):
A fluid sterilization device, comprising:\n a straight pipe that constitutes a flow passage extending in a longitudinal direction; and a light source that emits ultraviolet light in the longitudinal direction toward a fluid flowing in a laminar state within the flow passage, wherein: the straight pipe includes a first end part and a second end part located opposite to the first end part, the first end part is provided with an inlet port through which a fluid flows into the straight pipe in the longitudinal direction, the second end part is provided with an outlet port through which a fluid flows out in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction, the inlet port is disposed on the central axis of the straight pipe, and the light source is disposed at the second end part on the central axis of the straight pipe; a fluid within the flow passage has a flow velocity distribution on a cross section of the flow passage perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, in which the flow velocity in an area near the center is higher than the flow velocity around the area; and the light source includes a light emitting element for emitting ultraviolet light and emits ultraviolet light so as to provide an intensity distribution on a cross section of the flow passage perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, in which the ultraviolet intensity in an area near the center is higher than the ultraviolet intensity around the area.
