Estimating the term…
A UV radiator has an essentially tubular discharge vessel designed to produce dielectric barrier discharges at one end and sealed in a gas-tight manner at both ends, and in each case at least one elongate inner and outer electrode which is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the discharge vessel. If it is imagined that the tubular part of the discharge vessel is split into two equal halves by an imaginary longitudinal section, the at least one inner electrode is arranged on the inside of the first imaginary tube half, and the at least one outer electrode is arranged on the outside of the second imaginary tube half, and essentially diametrically with respect to one another. As a result, and as a result of the shape and number and arrangement of the outer electrode(s), directional radiation characteristics are achieved.
A UV radiator having an essentially tubular discharge vessel, which is designed to produce dielectric barrier discharges at one end and is sealed in a gas-tight manner at both ends, and having in each case at least one elongate inner and outer electrode which is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the discharge vessel, whereby the at least one inner electrode is arranged on the inside of an imaginary first tube half of the tubular part of the discharge vessel, and the at least one outer electrode is arranged on the outside of an imaginary second tube half, which is opposite said first tube half, the two opposing tube halves being defined by an imaginary section, which contains the longitudinal axis of the tubular discharge vessel, through the discharge vessel.
