Abstract
A purifier for purifying a fluid by eliminating contaminants from the fluid. The purifier includes a fluid passage, through which the fluid flows, formed by an ultraviolet ray transmitting material. A plurality of photocatalytic pipes are arranged in the fluid passage. Each of the photocatalytic pipes has an inner surface and an outer surface on which a thin film of a photocatalyst is applied. The photocatalytic thin film is excited by ultraviolet rays irradiated from a source located near the fluid passage. This oxides and decomposes the contaminants and purifies the fluid.
