Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de stérilisation par ultraviolets qui peut suffisamment irradier un fluide avec des rayons ultraviolets, même si le fluide a une faible transparence et peut ainsi stériliser le fluide de manière appropriée. Un dispositif de stérilisation par ultraviolets selon la présente invention stérilise un fluide par irradiation du fluide avec des rayons ultraviolets et comprend : un trajet d'écoulement de traitement dans lequel la largeur de trajet d'écoulement est au moins quatre fois supérieure à la profondeur de trajet d'écoulement ; et une pluralité d'éléments électroluminescents qui irradient, dans la direction de profondeur du trajet d'écoulement de traitement, un fluide s'écoulant à travers le trajet d'écoulement de traitement avec des rayons ultraviolets.
