Special
Features of the
Magnum
Water Purifiers
Modular Design:
Each system consists of several lamp modules utilizing 2
or 4 ultraviolet germicidal lamps, each contained in a
fused quartz sleeve and mounted in a stainless steel
frame. Modular design permits a treatment approach
tailored to your specific requirements without the need to
resort to custom design for each application. Modules can
be easily removed or swapped to enable maintenance or
service with a minimum of system down time.
Uniform Lamp Spacing: The
lamp spacing has been carefully conceived to provide a
uniform germicidal dosage throughout the disinfection
channel. As a result, Magnum
units provide a consistent
well-balanced exposure of the effluent. Low-Pressure Lamps:
Similar to mercury arc fluorescent lamps, however they are
constructed from quartz envelope rather than a glass
envelope and emit over 90 percent of their ultraviolet
energy at 253.7 nanometers which is the region of maximum
germicidal effectiveness and highly lethal to virus,
bacteria and mold. The rated life of
Ster-L-Ray
germicidal lamps is 10,000 hours and operating wall
temperature is about 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The
electrical cost of operating a
low-pressure lamp is equal to that of a fluorescent lamp
of the same size and wattage.
Lamp Operation Indicators (L.E.D.): Pilot lamp
array provides individual indication of operation for each
germicidal lamp and facilitates quick location of the
problem in the event of germicidal lamp outage.
Ultraviolet Monitor: Visually indicates the
level of germicidal ultraviolet available after
penetration of the quartz sleeve and the liquid medium and
can provide data to a remote location. NEMA 4x Electronic Enclosure:
Water tight stainless steel enclosure protects electronic
components from outside environment. Quarter turn latches
provide ready access to interior components for inspection
and lamp replacement. Elapsed Time Indicator:
Provides visual indication (in hours) of the time that the
unit is in service and serves as an aid for periodic
maintenance.
Electronic Ballast: State-of-the-Art electronic
ballasts use significantly less power and operate cooler
and more reliably than conventional ballasts.
