UV radiation device for treating fluids with a simplified radiation chamber

Abstract

The invention relates to a UV radiation device for the treatment of fluids, in particular water or waste water. The device includes a radiation chamber through which the fluid can flow in one direction. The radiation chamber essentially comprises a rectangular cross-section and is bordered by two side walls as well as a base wall and a ceiling wall. The side walls and the base wall comprise a non-metallic material. Additionally, a number of lamp units are provided. The lamp units each have a radiation source and a cover tube surrounding the radiation source, and, the lamp units are essentially cylindrical in shape. The lamp units lamp units in at least one cross-direction are arranged towards the flow direction. The distance between two walls diagonally facing each other is less or equal to the discharge length of the radiation source.
