Daher stellt die Entkeimung von Flüssigkeiten eine wichtige Aufgabe dar. Übliche Entkeimungsverfahren verwenden Chemikalien, wie zum Beispiel Chlor. Dies ist mit der Verwendung oder Entstehung sehr aggressiver und ihrerseits gesundheitsschädigender Stoffe, wie zum Beispiel Ozon, verbunden.germs, such as viruses, fungi and bacteria, in water that as Drinking water or as a component of aqueous solutions in the context of, for example used in human medicine therapies can cause disease or a use of the water for the purpose is impossible do. Therefore, the sterilization of liquids is an important task. Usual degermination use chemicals, such as chlorine. This is with the Use or formation of very aggressive and in turn harmful to health Substances, such as ozone.
Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, für eine gesundheitsschonendere Entkeimung von Flüssigkeiten zu sorgen.Of the Invention is therefore the object of a health-friendly Sterilization of liquids to care.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung zur Reduzierung von Keimen in, vorzugsweise optisch transparenten, Flüssigkeiten, umfassend: ein Gehäuse mit einem Flüssigkeitszulauf und einem Flüssigkeitsablauf für einen Durchlauf von Flüssigkeit, mindestens eine UV-Lichtquelle in dem Gehäuse, mindestens eine Ultraschallquelle in dem Gehäuse, und eine erste mechanische Filtereinrichtung, die einen Ultraschallbehandlungsbereich, in dem die Ultraschallquelle(n) zum Einwirken auf eine durch das Gehäuse strömende Flüssigkeit und die mechanische(n) Filtereinrichtungen) angeordnet ist/sind, und einen UV-Behandlungsbereich trennt, in dem die UV-Lichtquelle(n) angeordnet ist/sind.According to the invention this Task solved by a device for reducing germs in, preferably optically transparent, liquids, comprising: a housing with a liquid feed and a liquid drain for one Passage of liquid, at least one UV light source in the housing, at least one ultrasound source in the housing, and a first mechanical filter device comprising an ultrasonic treatment area, in which the ultrasonic source (s) for acting on by the casing flowing Liquid and the mechanical (n) filter means) is arranged, and separates a UV treatment area, in which the UV light source (s) is / are arranged.
Hier und im nachfolgenden sollen die Angaben, daß mindestens eine UV-Lichtquelle und mindestens eine Ultraschallquelle in dem Gehäuse angeordnet ist, auch die Fälle umfassen, in denen die UV-Lichtquelle bzw. Ultraschallquelle in der Wand des Gehäuses angeordnet oder das UV-Licht bzw. der Ultraschall von außen in das Gehäuse eingekoppelt ist.Here and in the following, the information that at least one UV light source and at least one ultrasonic source is disposed in the housing, including the Cases include in which the UV light source or ultrasound source in the wall of the housing arranged or the UV light or the ultrasound from the outside into the casing is coupled.
Vorzugsweise ist der ersten mechanischen Filtereinrichtung eine zweite mechanische Filtereinrichtung im Gehäuse in Strömungsrichtung vorgeschaltet.Preferably the first mechanical filter device is a second mechanical one Filter device in the housing in the flow direction upstream.
Insbesondere kann dabei vorgesehen sein, daß mindestens eine Ultraschallquelle im Gehäuse vorgesehen ist, die derart angeordnet ist, daß sie die zweite mechanische Filtereinrichtung, vorzugsweise aus einer Richtung in Strömungsrichtung, mit Ultraschall bestrahlt.Especially can be provided that at least an ultrasound source is provided in the housing which is arranged so that it is the second mechanical Filter device, preferably from one direction in the flow direction, irradiated with ultrasound.

Insbesondere ist eine mit der Durchflußmeß- und -regeleinrichtung verbundene Trübungsmeßeinrichtung zur Messung der Trübung der Flüssigkeit im Bereich des Flüssigkeitszulaufes des Gehäuses vorgesehen und die Durchflußmeß- und -regeleinrichtung gestaltet, um eine automatische Durchflußregelung in Abhängigkeit von den Meßwerten für die Trübung vorzunehmen, die von der Trübungsmeßeinrichtung erhalten werden. Wenn die Messung der Trübungseinrichtung eine hohe Trübung der Flüssigkeit im Bereich des Flüssigkeitszulaufes ergibt, so kann mittels der Durchflußmeß- und -regeleinrichtung dafür gesorgt werden, daß durch entsprechende Verlängerung der Verweildauer der Flüssigkeit in dem Gehäuse durch Reduzierung der Durchflußmenge die zu entkeimende Flüssigkeit dem Ultraschall und dem UV-Licht länger ausgesetzt wird. Dadurch läßt sich ein optimaler Wirkungsgrad der Vorrichtung erreichen.Especially is one with the flow measuring and control device connected turbidity measuring device for measuring turbidity the liquid in the area of the liquid inlet of the housing provided and the flow measuring and control device designed to provide automatic flow control in dependence from the measured values for the cloudiness made by the turbidity measuring device to be obtained. If the measurement of the turbidity device a high cloudiness the liquid in the area of the liquid feed results, it can be ensured by means of Durchflußmeß- and -regeleinrichtung be that through corresponding extension the residence time of the liquid in the case by reducing the flow rate the liquid to be sterilized is exposed to ultrasound and UV light for longer. Thereby let yourself achieve optimum efficiency of the device.
Günstigerweise ist mindestens eine Ultraschallquelle im Bereich des Flüssigkeitsablaufs im Gehäuse vorgesehen.conveniently, is at least one ultrasonic source in the area of the liquid drain in the case intended.
Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, daß mindestens eine Magnetfeldinduktionseinrichtung zum Induzieren eines Magnetfeldes im Ultraschallbehandlungsbereich vorgesehen ist.Farther can be provided that at least a magnetic field induction device for inducing a magnetic field is provided in the ultrasonic treatment area.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist eine Luftzuführeinrichtung im Bereich des Flüssigkeitsablaufes des Gehäuses zur Zuführung von Luft zur Flüssigkeit vorgesehen. Dies dient dazu, einer Entgasung der Flüssigkeit entgegenzuwirken.Conveniently, is an air supply device in the area of the liquid drainage of the housing to the feeder from air to liquid intended. This serves to degas the liquid counteract.
Günstigerweise besteht das Gehäuse aus druckstabilem Kunststoff oder Metall.conveniently, is the housing made of pressure-resistant plastic or metal.
Gemäß einer weiteren besonderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, daß das Gehäuse die Gestalt eines Zylinders aufweist und mit Ausnahme des Flüssigkeitszulaufes und des Flüssigkeitsablaufes geschlossen ist.According to one another particular embodiment The invention may be provided that the housing takes the form of a cylinder and with the exception of the liquid feed and the flow of liquid closed is.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist die bzw. jede UV-Lichtquelle stabförmig gestaltet und erstreckt sie sich parallel zur Längsachse des Zylinders.Conveniently, the or each UV light source is rod-shaped and extends they are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder.
Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Flüssigkeitszulauf des Gehäuse an einem Längsende des Zylinders vorgesehen ist und der Flüssigkeitsablauf des Gehäuses an dem anderen Längsende des Zylinders vorgesehen ist.Farther can be provided that the liquid inlet of the housing at one longitudinal end the cylinder is provided and the liquid flow of the housing the other longitudinal end of the Cylinder is provided.
Gemäß einer weiteren besonderen Ausführungsform umfaßt die erste mechanische Filtereinrichtung einen korbförmigen Filter, der von dem Zylinder koaxial umgeben ist. Selbstverständlich kann der korbförmige Filter aus dem Gehäuse herausnehmbar sein.According to another particular Ausfüh The first mechanical filter device comprises a basket-shaped filter, which is surrounded by the cylinder coaxially. Of course, the basket-shaped filter can be removed from the housing.
Schließlich kann vorgesehen sein, daß die zweite mechanische Filtereinrichtung einen scheibenförmigen Filter umfaßt, der im rechten Winkel zur Längsachse des Zylinders verläuft.

Of course can the disc-shaped Filter also from the housing be removable.
Der Erfindung liegt die überraschende Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß durch den Einsatz von Ultraschall und UV-Licht und darüber hinaus in einem jeweiligen Ultraschallbehandlungsbereich bzw. UV-Behandlungsbereich, die durch eine erste mechanische Filtereinrichtung getrennt werden, sowohl Ultraschall als auch UV-Licht auf die Flüssigkeit effektiv einwirken können. Im Ultraschallbehandlungsbereich kommt es durch den Ultraschall zur Ultraschallabtötung als Hauptursache für den mechanischen Zellaufbruch. Neben der mechanischen Erosion der Zellwand induzieren die starken Druck- und Temperaturwechsel die Polymerisierungsreaktionen im Inneren der Zelle, die zum Abbau von globulären Proteinen führen. Diese werden in ihre Untereinheit aufgespaltet, wobei zunächst deren Quartärstruktur zerstört wird. In diesem Zusammenhang sind neben der Abtrennung von niedrig molekularen Peptiden auch die Aufspaltung von zyklischen Aminosäuren beobachtet worden.Of the Invention is the surprising Understanding that through the use of ultrasound and ultraviolet light and beyond in a particular Ultrasonic treatment area or UV treatment area by a first mechanical filter device are separated, both Ultrasound and UV light effectively affect the fluid can. In the ultrasonic treatment area, it comes through the ultrasound for Ultraschallabtötung as the main cause of the mechanical cell disruption. In addition to the mechanical erosion of the cell wall the strong pressure and temperature changes induce the polymerization reactions inside the cell, which lead to the breakdown of globular proteins. These are split into their subunit, with their first quaternary structure destroyed becomes. In this connection, in addition to the separation of low molecular peptides also observed the breakdown of cyclic amino acids Service.
Die durch die Ultraschallabtötung entstehenden Schwebeteilchen werden durch die erste mechanische Filtereinrichtung vom Gelangen in den UV-Behandlungsbereich abgehalten. Dadurch kann das UV-Licht von der bzw. den UV-Lichtquelle(n) im UV-Behandlungsbereich tiefer in die Flüssigkeit eindringen. Folglich wird die Wirkung des UV-Lichts verbessert bzw. können UV-Lichtquellen mit geringerer Leistung verwendet werden. Das, insbesondere kurzwellige, UV-Licht wird in Substanzen, wie zum Beispiel DNA, in der Flüssigkeit absorbiert. Die absorbierte UV-Lichtenergie reicht aus, um eine photochemische Umwandlung zu bewirken. Eine für die Teilung der DNA notwendige Informationsweitergabe unterbleibt. Bei der Überschreitung eines Informationsstörungsniveaus sterben Zellen, ohne sich zu vermehren. Somit werden durch UV-Licht lebende Mikroorganismen durch Zerstörung der DNA abgetötet oder inaktiviert. Die Wellenlänge des UV-Lichtes liegt hierfür typischerweise in einem Bereich von 170 bis 260 Nanometer, vorzugsweise bei 254 Nanometer.The by the Ultraschallabtötung arising suspended particles are caused by the first mechanical Filter device is prevented from getting into the UV treatment area. This allows the UV light from the UV light source (s) in the UV treatment area deeper into the liquid penetration. As a result, the effect of the UV light is improved or UV light sources be used at a lower power. That, in particular short-wave, UV light gets into substances, such as DNA, in the liquid absorbed. The absorbed UV light energy is sufficient to a to effect photochemical conversion. One necessary for the division of DNA Information is omitted. When exceeding an informational malfunction level the cells die without multiplying. Thus, by UV light living microorganisms killed by destruction of the DNA or inactivated. The wavelength of UV light is for this typically in a range of 170 to 260 nanometers, preferably at 254 nanometers.
Die Vorrichtung ist besonders geeignet bei einem Durchfluß von mehr als 10 Litern pro Minute.The Device is particularly suitable for a flow of more than 10 liters per minute.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung weist einen besonders hohen Wirkungsgrad auf. Sie ist überall einsetzbar, wo die Anzahl der Keime in Flüssigkeiten reduziert werden soll. Dabei kann auch aus stark verseuchtem Wasser ein Wasser mit Trinkwasserqualität erreicht werden.The inventive device has a particularly high efficiency. It can be used everywhere where the number of germs in liquids should be reduced. It can also be from heavily contaminated water a water with drinking water quality be achieved.
Je nach Qualität der zu reinigenden Flüssigkeiten kann die Vorrichtung bei verschiedenen Durchflußmengen arbeiten und damit jeweils einen optimalen Wirkungsgrad der Entkeimung erreichen.ever after quality the liquids to be cleaned For example, the device can operate at different flow rates and thus each achieve an optimal efficiency of sterilization.
Die Vorrichtung kann als Kompaktsystem als mobile Variante oder innerhalb eines existierenden Flüssigkeitsleitungssystems eingesetzt werden. Durch genau dosierte Bestrahlung mit UV-Licht und genau dosierte Bestrahlung mit Ultraschall kann eine Entkeimung mit einem minimalen Energieverbrauch erzielt werden. Die Vorrichtung eliminiert sowohl Bakterien als auch Viren und Schimmelkulturen in verseuchten Flüssigkeiten. Am Flüssigkeitsablauf austretendes, entkeimtes Wasser ist zu 100% trinkbar, ohne weitere chemische Zusätze.The Device can be used as a compact system as a mobile variant or within an existing fluid line system be used. By precisely metered irradiation with UV light and precisely metered irradiation with ultrasound can sterilize be achieved with a minimum of energy consumption. The device eliminates both bacteria and viruses and mold cultures in contaminated liquids. At the liquid outlet exiting, sterilized water is 100% drinkable, without further chemical additives.
