Abstract
Apparatus for the irradiation of fluids in which the fluid is conducted along the walls of a container having walls which are permeable for the radiation to which the fluid is exposed. Radiation sources are arranged around the container and a rotor is disposed within the container. The rotor consists of a body having axial bores and pins movably disposed in the bores and adapted to engage with their front ends the container walls thereby to wipe any deposits from the container walls during rotation of the rotor.
Claims7
Apparatus for the irradiation of fluids to initiate chemical reactions resulting in the formation of chemical compounds, said apparatus comprising:
- an axially symmetrical container consisting of a material which is permeable for the radiation to which the fluid is to be exposed;
- at least one radiation source so arranged relative to said container as to irradiate said container;
- means for conducting said fluid through said container to subject it to the radiation from said radiation source;
- a rotor centrally supported in said container for rotation therein;
- and means for rotating said rotor, said rotor consisting of a body having a plurlity of bores formed therein in an essentially radial orientation and pins slidably received in said bores and adapted, upon rotation of said rotor, to abut the inner surface of said container thereby to wipe any deposits therefrom.
