Abstract
A device (1) for irradiating titanium-dioxide-coated fibers with UV radiation includes a housing (2) that is filled with water. Bodies (4), including strips (5), which consist of quartz glass, are arranged in the housing (2). LEDs (7), which emit UV radiation, are paired with at least one of the longitudinal edges of the strips (5). UV radiation is uniformly emitted to the fibers by the strips (5), so that these fibers acquire anti-fouling properties.
Claims18
Device (1) for irradiating objects, in particular fibers coated with titanium dioxide, comprising at least one source (6) for the emission of electromagnetic radiation, wherein at least one wall (21) that consists of material that is permeable to the electromagnetic radiation and that acts as a fiber optic light guide is provided between the objects that are accommodated in a liquid, such as water, and the source (6) for the emission of electromagnetic radiation.
