Abstract
The invention relates to a device ( ) for UV irradiation, each UV module ( ) being designed as an immersible radiator and being in each case formed by a round UV radiator ( ) which is designed as a mercury low-pressure radiator and is enclosed by a sleeve tube ( ) which is transparent to UV rays, each UV module ( ) being assigned an irradiation space ( ) having a square cross section, the center of which is also the center ( ) of the UV radiator ( ) and which in each case extends from the center ( ) half-way to the neighboring UV modules ( ), the centers ( ) of four neighboring UV modules ( ) forming the corners of a square ( ), the area of which corresponds to the sum of the cross-sectional area (F ) of a UV module ( ) and the cross-sectional area (F ) of the irradiation space ( ) of a UV module, and in that the spacing of the UV modules ( ) from one another is selected in such a way that the cross-sectional area (F ) of the irradiation space ( ) of each UV module ( ) is no more than 10 times greater than the cross-sectional area (F ) of the UV module ( ) itself.
