Device and use thereof for the uv treatment of fluids

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for the treatment of fluids, consisting of a flow-through housing (1; 11), a cover (2; 12), an inlet (3; 13), a reactor chamber (4; 14) having inner walls (5; 15), an outlet (6; 16), UV LED radiation sources (7) directed into the reaction chamber (4; 14), and a power supply, which device achieves high purification performance requiring less technical complexity and a small installation space and which device uses only little electrical power. This is achieved in that the reactor chamber (4; 14), consisting of an interior space, has a fluid-mechanics design, the radiation sources (7) are arranged in the fluid on or in an inner wall (5; 15), and a rotating fluid vortex (8; 18) is applied to a fluid flowing through by means of the fluid-mechanics design, at which fluid vortex the radiation sources (7) are directed in such a way that the radiation sources can radiate radially inward and / or laterally, and at least a partial flow of the fluid in the fluid vortex (8; 18) is guided past the radiation sources (7) several times before the reaction space (4; 14) is exited.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device according to the preambles of claims 1 and 15 for processing fluids, such as liquids or gases, and its use. Background technique [0002] From document WO 2014171886 A1 a fluid purification system is known which is based on radiation sources with UV-LEDs (Ultraviolet Light Emitting Diodes), however these radiation sources are arranged around a pipe, which has the disadvantage that even if the flow In a vortex configuration, the fluid flowing through the pipe can only pass past each radiation source once, so that a plurality of radiation sources must be arranged one behind the other and distributed over the circumference of the pipe for a sufficiently strong cleaning effect . Contents of the invention [0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a device for treating fluids and its use, which achieves the same or improved clean operating capability with significantly lower technical effort and at the sa...
