Abstract

This Invention relates to a ultraviolet water sterilization device having a sterilization chamber module into a modularized configuration each module having two water-through ports, one port is used as a water inlet and the other port as an outlet of the sterilization chamber. The sterilization chamber may be formed into a single-wall configuration or a casing configuration. Inside the sterilization chamber are distributed n≧1 ultraviolet lamps with glass sleeves. Each chamber module may be used individually or in combination of two, three or more modules in a large chamber to meet the need of sterilization for a large water volume. Each module can be also arranged in separate sections so as to lessen manufacturing difficulties and simplify the assembly process.
