Abstract

In an ultraviolet sterilizer unit a length of corrugated pipe is coiled into the shape of a helix around an ultraviolet germicidal source to maximize the exposure of the fluid media flowing in the pipe to the ultraviolet germicidal source. The pipe is formed of a tough, flexible fluorinated polyalkylene resin capable of being used without sidewall support, and has an internal groove.
