  • Publication number: 20240059589
    Abstract: A device for sterilising a fluid flowing therethrough by comprises a container having an inlet for receiving the fluid and an outlet for discharging the fluid, a variable or adjustable irradiation zone for irradiating the fluid with UV radiation. The irradiation zone including a gap which extends between two oppositely arranged walls. The distance between the walls, and thus the gap size of the gap, can be changed by at least one wall being movable. For example, the wall is a wall of a displaceable body that is located inside the container or projecting into the container. By adjusting the distance between the walls in the region of the gap, and thus the layer thickness of the fluid flowing through the gap, the efficiency of the operation of the device is optimised with different scattering and absorption properties of the fluid.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cooling device, comprising a cooling plate and a cooling cap, for cooling a heat source, mounted to an outer interface surface of the cooling plate, by means of a cooling fluid. Several spiral-shaped fins are integrated into the cooling plate to form a structure in the shape of a multi-spiral. The fins are arranged next to each other in a mutual distance to form spiral-shaped flow channels for a cooling fluid. An inlet for inflowing the cooling fluid at the center of the multi-spiral fins structure is integrated into the cooling cap. The cooling cap is configured and arranged on the cooling plate so that the inlet is positioned above the center of the multi-spiral fins structure.
