Thread: Coolant UV Sterlisation in lieu of biocides

Thinking of coolants and the life span being shortened by bacteria I thought about UV sterilisation. They are used in cooling tower water for specifically reducing legionella bacteria and others, wondered what smallish units were were available so did a google ...the aus sites were a tad vague about size etc etc but pricing looked fair so went a little deeper and ended up at an aquarium place in the uk and was checking out the tech data of some of the units, and then clicked on the link to Hoi for sale inititially thinking this was another brand of uv for sale.....how can they ask 2000.00 quid for a carp has me beat....now thinking about changing jobs and become a murray fisherman targeting carp

Any how the units seem reasonably small and with a properly set up system I couldnt see why they wouldnt work...may need to do something for when to machine/s are idle though ...such as catching the solution (before it drains into the machines storage system), into a tank with the UV system so that the UV can be operated during times of no use of the mill lathe

I must be bored...easier to catch carp
