Patent ID: 8758696

Claim:
A device for treating a reactive medium with electromagnetic radiation comprising an electromagnetic radiation generator, a reactor containing said reactive medium, and a device for transmitting the electromagnetic radiation generated by the generator to the reactive medium contained in said reactor, said device comprising a wave guide intended for transmitting the electromagnetic radiation of the generator and coupling means arranged so as to allow transfer into the reactive medium of the electromagnetic energy transmitted by the wave guide, wherein the wave guide includes: a curved segment, in a general “U” shape, forming a return loop from said wave guide, and first and second rectilinear segments facing each other and respectively connected to first and second ends of said curved segment, said rectilinear segments being substantially parallel or tilted relatively to each other, and further comprising a separation wall allowing isolation of the generator from the reactor, said reactor being coupled with the curved segment of the wave guide and said curved segment extending on one side of the separation wall opposite to said generator, and wherein the wave guide crosses the separation wall twice wherein: the curved segment is positioned on a first side of the separation wall, and the rectilinear segments are located on a second side of the separation wall.
