Abstract:
A device for purifying a fluid with photonic pulses, comprising:a quartz tube adapted to allow the fluid to flow therethrough; an irradiation source mounted concentrically to the quartz tube; another irradiation source positioned within the quartz tube; a chamber comprising inner walls which promote reflection of wavelengths; the irradiation source configured to emit a photonic radiation ranging from a low ultraviolet to an unbroken infrared; said device configured such that an electrical morphology of a current pulse generates a flash of the irradiation source enabling an output between 2 and 15% in a germicidal spectrum centered on the wavelength of 257 nanometers; and a duration of each flash emitted by the irradiation source being between 100 microseconds and 100 milliseconds.
