Abstract: A detector for detecting sodium hypochlorite concentration includes a first electrode, a second electrode and a processing unit. The first electrode and the second electrode are disposed opposite each other, and are soaked in a sodium hypochlorite solution under detection. An electrical path is formed among the first electrode, the sodium hypochlorite solution and the second electrode. The processing unit, electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode, measures a plurality of ions in the sodium hypochlorite solution transmitted in the electrical path to obtain a conductivity of the sodium hypochlorite solution and to accordingly calculate concentration of the sodium hypochlorite solution. Compared to a conventional measurement apparatus adopting an optical detector, the invention not only can be fabricated at low production costs, but also can instantly obtain the detected concentration without involving analysis of an externally connected computer.

Abstract: An ultraviolet-and-ozone disinfection apparatus 200 providing an improvement on disinfection, includes a disinfection tank 202, a mercury UV lamp 210 enclosed by a quartz tube 208 for generating UV light with air trapped between them undergoing UV irradiation to generate ozone, an ozone transmitting tube 216, a spiral water transmitting tube 215 wrapping around the quartz tube in a spiral manner to achieve sufficient disinfection by mixing ozone in water, a sleeve barrel enclosing the spiral tube. Along the entire flow path, water is exposed to UV radiation to achieve sufficient disinfection and reduce excessive ozone that is harmful to human health.

Abstract: A system for treating water includes an ozone injector combined with a monitoring apparatus 400 that includes a flow meter 402 and a pressure sensor 404. The monitoring apparatus includes a flow path 424 having inlets 420, 422 communicating with the inlet 304 and outlet 306 of the ozone injector main water pipe 302. The flow path inlets are spaced respectively upstream and downstream of the ozone injection point. In operation, water filtered in filter 108 is ozonized in venturi 316 and then sterilized by UV lamp 210. The lamp is also used to generate ozone that is delivered to the venturi via check valve 308. The pressure sensor positioned within the flow path produces signals to control the switch of the UV lamp. The flow meter is used to determine when the filter should be replaced. The pressure sensor may be in the form of a silicon chip.
