Abstract
The present invention provides a simplifed construction of a light irradiating device having light irradiating modules by facilitating the attachment of a plurality of light-transmitting tubes containing light irradiating lamps to a frame. The present invention further simplifies the manufacture of the overall light irradiating device by installing a plurality of such light irradiating modules as detachable integral units inside a housing. Light irradiating lamps are accommodated inside light-transmitting tubes, each of which is closed off at one end and open at the other end. The open end portions of a plurality of said light-transmitting tubes are attached in a detachable, water-tight manner to connectors installed on a frame, and the closed end portions of said light-transmitting tubes are attached in a detachable manner to detachable holders which are installed on the aforementioned frame, thus forming a light irradiating module. Such light irradiating modules are installed as detachable integral units inside a housing, thus forming flow paths in which light irradiation treatments such as the eradication of bacteria in liquids, the oxidative decomposition of organic matter or the decomposition of harmful substances, etc., can be performed.
