1. A fluid purification system for purifying a fluid within a fluid flow system, the fluid purification system comprising:
a housing with a first end open to fluid entering the housing, a second end open to fluid exhausted from the housing, and a specular interior surface;
a framework fixed to the housing; and
an aerodynamic ultra-violet light module retained by the framework within the housing and surrounded by the specular interior surface,
wherein the ultra-violet light module has a first aerodynamic end cone comprising
an intake nose cone disposed adjacent to the first end of the housing and
a second aerodynamic end cone comprising
an exhaust tail cone disposed adjacent to the second end of the housing,
wherein the intake nose cone and the exhaust tail cone cooperate to retain a plurality of ultra-violet bulbs in an array to communicate longitudinally within the housing and
wherein fluid entering the fluid purification system into the first end of the housing will pass over the intake nose cone prior to passing over the ultra-violet light bulbs and then over the exhaust tail cone before being exhausted through the second end of the housing,
wherein the first and second aerodynamic end cones have tapered distal portions whereby the intake nose cone tapers toward the first end of the housing and whereby the exhaust tail cone tapers toward the second end of the housing,
wherein the first and second aerodynamic end cones have proximal portions, and wherein the plurality of ultra-violet bulbs are retained by the proximal portions of the first and second aerodynamic end cones to freely span therebetween without any intervening structure between the plurality of ultra-violet bulbs.
