  • Electrolytic cell for a disinfection device
    Patent number: 4822472
    Abstract: An electrolytic cell of a liquid disinfection device has a housing with an inlet and outlet, and electrodes arranged in transverse planes and surrounding a central supporting element through which electrical leads can be provided. The electrodes can be concentric annular electrodes supported on radial supports, or can be unitary, being punched from sheets with gaps and webs between them.

  • Process for disinfecting water
    Patent number: 4385973
    Abstract: In a process for disinfecting water by anodic oxidation in a reactor the volumetric flow rate, current density and contact time are selected so that there is an excess of reaction products having oxidizing power in the water at the exit from the reactor, which gives rise to continued disinfection downstream of the reactor. The process is particularly applicable to water for swimming pools.

  • Disinfection device
    Patent number: 4263118
    Abstract: A disinfection device has a plurality of electrodes arranged in planes, the electrodes in the planes being conductively connected by conductive and non-conductive carrier elements at their opposite ends. The elements alternate on opposed walls of the housing and fit together by reason of projections and corresponding recesses on the conductive and non-conductive elements. The electrodes may be, in certain embodiments, of expanded metal or sintered metal.
