DEVICE FOR IRRADIATION OF BIOLOGICAL LIQUID BY ULTRAVIOLET RAYS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: medical and veterinary equipment, in particular, devices for irradiation of biological liquid, for example milk, by ultraviolet rays. SUBSTANCE: the device uses a casing installed on a base, representing multisection wall 2, whose sections are interconnected by hinges 3 for formation both of a closed cylindrical contour and a surface developed into a plane. Each section carries an ultraviolet radiator. Vessel 6 for biological liquid is positioned above the casing. Nozzles are made in the vessel bottom for outflow of liquid, and irradiated liquid collector 8 is positioned on base 1. At outflow of liquid from vessel 6 through nozzles 7 it gets irradiated by radiators on all sides, in collector 8 it is agitated and additionally irradiated by ultraviolet rays reflected from the surface and bottom of collector 8. When it is necessary to irradiate large capacities of liquid, the device may have a block adjusting the level of liquid to be fed to vessel 6. If necessary, the device can be used for ultraviolet irradiation of room or body of animal or human. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 5 cl, 4 dwg
