Abstract:
A sterilization apparatus is provided with: a light source, which has a semiconductor light-emitting element that emits ultraviolet light; a housing, which forms a flow passage through which a fluid subject to sterilization passes; a light receiving unit, which receives a portion of the ultraviolet light emitted from the light source and detects the amount of ultraviolet light that has been received; and a control unit, which controls the output of the semiconductor light-emitting element based on information regarding the amount of ultraviolet light acquired from the light receiving unit. The housing has an incidence portion on which ultraviolet light becomes incident and a reflection portion, which reflects the ultraviolet light at the inner surface thereof. The light receiving unit is provided at a position where the light receiving unit can receive the portion of ultraviolet light that has been transmitted through the reflection portion.

Claim (Index 7):
The fluid sterilization apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the housing has: a cylindrical sterilization chamber that has the reflection portion; and an inlet port for the fluid and an outlet port for the fluid, which are provided in a direction intersecting with the longitudinal direction of the sterilization chamber, wherein the light source is arranged outside at least one of both ends of the sterilization chamber in the longitudinal direction, and wherein the incidence portion is provided between the light source and the sterilization chamber.
