  • Patent number: 10570030
    Abstract: A device for the treatment of fluids has a flow-through housing, a cover, an inlet, a reactor chamber with inner walls, an outlet and UV LED radiation sources directed into the reactor chamber, and also a power supply. The device achieves a high purifying performance with less technical complexity and less installation space and needs only little electrical power. The interior of the reactor chamber has a flow-related design. The radiation sources are arranged in the fluid on or in an inner wall and a rotating fluid vortex is imparted to a fluid flowing through by the flow-related design. The radiation sources radiate radially from the outside inward and/or laterally onto the fluid vortex. At least a partial stream of the fluid in the fluid vortex passes a number of times by the radiation sources before leaving the reactor chamber.

  • Publication number: 20180134584
    Abstract: A working method and an apparatus of a UV disinfection installation contains a water-flooded reactor chamber and at least one UV radiation source. The UV radiation source is arranged such that it can radiate in the reactor chamber. A UV sensor and an evaluation unit for the sensor signal are provided. The apparatus attains a high cleaning performance with little constructional engineering complexity. The cleaning performance is able to be detected exactly for the entire irradiated flow volume, and which is attained by virtue of the radiation source consisting of UV LEDs which are at least arranged on one side of the reactor chamber and by virtue of the UV sensor is arranged on the same side between the UV LEDs and by virtue of at least the inner surface of the reactor chamber lying opposite this side being embodied as a reflection surface for the UV light.
