SYSTEM OVERVIEW

System Features

• Corrosion-Resistant, Heavy-Wall Polymer UV Vessel Construction maximizes durability and operating performance.
• Watertight Design allows for safe operation in wet environments.
• "L Style" Vessel Design maximizes hydraulic efficiency.
• Single-End UV Lamp/Quartz Sleeve removal allows for quick and easy change-outs.
• UV Lamp array utilizes each lamp's UV-C output to its maximum potential.
• T6 Amalgam "L Glass" (non-ozone emitting) UV Lamps produce a higher UV output than standard output
UV Lamps (>80% efficient after 12,000 hours of continual operation).
• Protective Quartz Sleeves thermally protect the UV Lamps, resulting in maximum UV output and safety.
• UL 508A listed Power Supply Enclosure.
• NEMA Type-12 High-Impact, Thermoplastic Enclosure with professionally assembled electrical hardware and
instrumentation.
• Microprocessor Controller Power Supply Enclosure.

UV Vessel

All Bioshield™ UV Disinfection System models are designed using the same design criteria, although individual model
dimensions and lamp numbers may differ. CLP Series models may be equipped with an optional integrated wiping system
(not shown).
The vessel (1) houses one or more UV lamps (2) that are arranged in an array that utilizes their UV output to their
maximum potential. Eac h lamp is thermally protected by its own quartz sleeve (3) made from transparent hard quartz
glass. The quartz sleeve is open on one end and allows for easy removal of the lamp. Quartz sleeves are held in place by
the Quartz Sleeve Module(s) located on the Quartz Sleeve Module Faceplate (4) and the Internal Quartz Sleeve Coupler
(5) located inside the UV vessel on the non-electrical end.
The vessel can have multiple sensor ports, usually a UV Intensity Sensor Port accompanied by a Water Temperature
Sensor Probe Port and a Vessel Drain Port that accepts a 0.5" PVC Ball Valve and an auxiliary service port (used for
chemical cleaning). The vessel Inlet Port (6) and Outlet Port (7) include flange fittings.
The vessel's electrical end has a removable flanged Quartz Sleeve Module (QSM) Faceplate equipped with Quartz Sleeve
Modules (8). The quartz sleeve modules allow for single-end quartz sleeve and UV lamp removal/loading and are male
threaded to accept the Quartz Sleeve Retaining Nut (9), with a Lamp Field Safety Cover (10) to protect the cable wires. A
EDPM Rubber Gasket positioned inside the quartz sleeve retaining nut creates a watertight seal.
