Definitions
- Irradiation arrangement for irradiating a fluid
- the invention relates to an irradiation arrangement for irradiating a fluid with ultraviolet light, an irradiation system for irradiating a fluid with ultraviolet light, and a use of the irradiation arrangement and the irradiation system for irradiating a fluid with ultraviolet light.
- the irradiation of a fluid with ultraviolet light is particularly relevant when inactivating or damaging microorganisms such as bacteria or viruses.
- a corresponding inactivation or damage to the microorganisms is achieved in particular by irradiating the microorganisms with ultraviolet (UV) light, damaging the DNA of the microorganisms, so that the reproduction of the microorganisms is inhibited.
- UV ultraviolet
- a large number of microorganisms are transmitted via the air, for example through aerosols present in the air to which the microorganisms attach.
- aerosols with the attached microorganisms are inhaled by a living being, the microorganisms can infect the living being.
- Aerosols can therefore serve as carriers of microorganisms in a fluid, in particular in air, and can float in the fluid for a long time and be distributed, for example, in closed rooms.
- An infection of a living being can occur, for example, through microorganisms when microorganisms adhering to aerosols reach the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth and/or eyes of the living being and then multiply in the living being.
- microorganisms adhering to aerosols are more susceptible to damage than when these microorganisms are suspended in a liquid, so that damage to the DNA of the microorganisms adhering to aerosols by ultraviolet light is particularly effective, and effective air disinfection is achieved.
- existing water can be sterilized and made drinkable using ultraviolet light.
- UV light is also a common means of disinfecting aquarium water.
- the present invention is based on the object of providing an efficient irradiation device and an efficient irradiation system for irradiating a fluid with ultraviolet light.
- an irradiation arrangement for irradiating a fluid with ultraviolet light comprising a housing with a housing interior, a fluid channel being formed in the housing interior for guiding the fluid along a flow direction; a lamp that is designed to apply ultraviolet light to the fluid channel, the lamp being arranged along the fluid channel; a collimating lens, which is arranged downstream of the illuminant and laterally delimits the fluid channel, the collimating lens being designed to collimate light emitted by the illuminant; a light reflector disposed opposite the collimating lens and configured to reflect back the ultraviolet light collimated by the collimating lens; wherein the fluid channel is laterally limited by the collimating lens and the light reflector.
- the fluid channel enables the fluid to be efficiently guided through the interior of the housing.
- the fluid channel completely encompasses the interior of the housing.
- the irradiation intensity of the collimated ultraviolet radiation in the interior of the housing can also be reduced or increased, for example, depending on a flow rate of the fluid through the interior of the housing, for example, to 99.99% of the microorganisms in the interior of the housing (according to a log 4 reduction in microorganisms) through irradiation inactivate.
- Efficient irradiation can therefore be achieved by passing the fluid through the interior of the housing just once.
- the fluid is ambient air.
- Microorganisms are understood to mean in particular pathogens, such as viruses or bacteria. Inactivation of microorganisms means damage to the microorganisms, so that their nucleic acids are damaged, they can no longer reproduce and can therefore no longer infect a living being.
- the collimating lens is designed to collimate at least part of the ultraviolet light emitted by the lamp.
- the light reflector is designed to reflect back at least part of the ultraviolet light collimated by the collimating lens. Collimation directs the ultraviolet light in a predetermined direction, for example. This results in a parallel direction of the divergent beams of rays emitted by the lamps.
- the collimated light can also be collimated along parallel light axes inside the housing.
- collimating ultraviolet light through the collimating lens and reflecting it through the light reflector inside the housing between the collimating lens and the light reflector results in a higher intensity of ultraviolet light compared to non-directional emission of ultraviolet light.
- the collimation of ultraviolet light is done, for example, by a optical shape of the collimating lens, which enables a parallel direction of the ultraviolet light.
- the collimating lens can be formed from a material that is transparent to ultraviolet light, in particular from a special silicone, plastic or glass.
- an uncontrolled distribution of the ultraviolet light in the interior of the housing is also minimized, so that, for example, an exit of the ultraviolet light from the completely closed or partially closed interior of the housing can be minimized.

- a wave-shaped or wave-shaped UV light trap comprising wave-shaped elevations, which in particular has a large number of wave-shaped elevations arranged one above the other, is particularly suitable for retaining ultraviolet light, since the wave-shaped elevations are an obstacle, in particular a labyrinth, for the ultraviolet light. and thereby prevent the ultraviolet light from escaping from the inside of the housing. This means that the ultraviolet radiation can be lost through multiple reflection.
- the UV light trap is designed to reflect a portion of the ultraviolet light and/or absorb a portion of the ultraviolet light each time an ultraviolet light is reflected on or in the UV light trap.
- two successive waves of the wave-shaped elevations of the UV light trap each have different pronounced depths of two successive wave troughs.
- the cavities for example polygonal or honeycomb-shaped, have, for example, a predetermined depth in the direction of flow and/or a predetermined diameter orthogonal to the direction of flow, the depth and diameter of the cavities being designed in particular to allow ultraviolet light to pass through only in the direction of flow. Ultraviolet light striking the UV light trap is thus retained by the cavities obliquely, i.e. at an angle to the direction of flow.
