In this embodiment, the photosynthetic reaction line 10 comprises a plurality of straight pipes 12 and a plurality of elbow pipes 14. The rectilinear pipes 12 and the elbows 14 are serially connected at intervals to form a 3D spiral channel allowing the light to pass through. of inclined double rows so that the culture liquid flowing in can flow downward in a suitable sequence and can completely absorb the light flow to generate a photosynthetic reaction. An upper section of the channel allowing the light to pass is provided with an auxiliary mouth 16 used to infuse the culture liquid and the algae seeds into the pipe, to regulate the pressure inside the channel allowing the light to pass through. , and to make the cleaning of the pipe letting through the light easier.

  The pressurized liquid infusion module 20 is a pressurized liquid infusion pump in which an inlet is connected to an outlet of the light-transmitting pipe.

  The oxygen release and regulation module 30 comprises a hollow injection and oxygen evolution device 40, a hollow liquid level regulating device 50, and a communication device 60. The injection device and this release of oxygen 40 comprises a container oxygen release 42 and a collection container liquid 44 which are connected together. The oxygen release container 42 may be made of a stainless steel material while the liquid collection container 44 may be made of a material permitting light such as glass or acrylic, which facilitates the manufacture and assembly of the device, without being limited to what is required herein. An upper segment of the oxygen relief vessel 42 is provided with a liquid inlet 421, an upper outlet 422, and a hollow tubular wall 423, where the liquid inlet 421 leads to an outlet of the module. infusion of pressurized liquid 20 through an infusion pipe 22, the upper outlet 422 is located at the top of the oxygen-releasing vessel 42, and the hollow tubular wall 423 extends from the outlet upper section 422 and is correspondingly located inside the liquid inlet 421. An average section of the oxygen venting vessel 42 is provided with a throttling portion 424 and a lateral discharge. 425, where the lateral discharge 425 is located below the throttle portion 424. The oxygen injection and release device 40 further comprises a discharge pipe 46 connected to the oxygen venting vessel 42, in which an ex The upper end of the evacuation pipe 46 passes through the hollow tubular wall 423, and a lower end of the evacuation pipe 46 is formed with an expansion portion 461 and is correspondingly located on the inside of the lateral evacuation 425. The liquid level regulating device 50 comprises an extension vessel 52 and a regulating vessel 54 which are connected together, wherein the extension vessel 52 can be made of a stainless steel material and can be divided in an upper segment 522 and a lower segment 523, so as to be able to easily separate the extension vessel 52 and the control vessel 54 to clean the interior walls, and the control vessel 54 may be made of a permeable material light such as glass or acrylic to facilitate fabrication and assembly, without being limited to what is required here. An apex of the extension vessel 52 is provided with a pressure regulating mouth 521. The communication device 60 is connected to the bottom of the liquid collection vessel 44 and at the bottom of the control vessel 54, and thus the control vessel 54 leads to the liquid collection container 44. The communication device 60 also has a cleaning valve 62. The entrance of the light-passing channel is bent downwards to lead to the control vessel 54.

  The photosynthetic reactor for plant algae and microbes according to this invention further comprises a collection valve 70. The capture valve 70 is connected between the outlet of the pipe allowing the passage of light and the inlet of the liquid infusion module under pressure 20, to drain the culture liquid from the channel allowing the light to pass.

  When the photosynthetic reactor for plant algae and microbes according to this invention is used, the culture liquid for the spirulina should be infused through the auxiliary mouth 16 into the light-letting duct, in order to generate photosynthesis and the oxygen. It then flows to the pressurized liquid infusion module 20. The culture liquid can also be infused from the pressure regulating mouth 521 of the expansion vessel 52 to the control vessel 54.

Finally, the culture liquid falls into the liquid collection container 44 and is collected in such a way that the oxygen is released. Out of the exhaust pipe 46. Thus, most of the oxygen is released in a manner that improves the performance of the process. The oxygen evolution vessel 42 may be made of a stainless steel material, because the culture liquid passing through the oxygen evolution vessel 42 produces a saturated liquid containing oxygen which does not readily conduct the photosynthesis. On the other hand, when the culture liquid is collected in the liquid collection vessel 44, most of the oxygen has already been cleared and photosynthesis can occur. As such, the liquid collection container 44 should be made of a light-transmissive material such as glass. The oxygen relief vessel 42 and the liquid collection vessel 44 are simple to manufacture and assemble and are not easily damaged. When the culture liquid flows through the communication device 60 to the control vessel 54, the cleaning valve 62 may be temporarily actuated to remove thicker sediments from the liquid.

Excess foam may also be extracted from the liquid level regulator 50 through the mouth The pressure regulating mouth 521 may further be provided with a feed pipe for supplying the culture liquid with carbon dioxide as a nutrient to assist the algae to grow and multiply. Due to the pressure in the pressurized fluid infusion module 20, a negative pressure is generated in the lumen channel so that culture liquid is withdrawn from the control vessel 54 to the passing pipe. light, for subsequent photosynthesis. If pressure in the lumen channel increases and raises the level of the culture fluid in the liquid level regulator 50, the outlet pressure of the liquid infusion module 20 can be adjusted. to decrease the level of the culture liquid. As a result, the culture fluid can circularly effect photosynthesis and release oxygen in a multi-row, hermetically sealed straight line to increase its nutritional ingredients. The culture liquid can also be sampled for testing, through the collection valve 70. When a nutrient of the culture liquid meets the required concentration, the liquid can be withdrawn via the collection valve 70 or the control valve. cleaning 62.
