Abstract

A fluid treatment plant, particularly a water disinfection plant, having more efficient energy utilization and increased service life in discontinuous operation, is producible as a simple mass-production product, that can be handled easily and is particularly suitable for household use. UV emitters are avoided that are complicated or that cannot be operated without danger, such as DBD lamps with coaxial tubes, as well as complicated ballast devices, and dangerous electrical constructions. Fluid raw materials are converted with UV radiation into qualitatively superior or novel products, in that a fluid to be treated is brought into contact with the emitter, so that the fluid is irradiated with UV radiation and has a direct influence on the temperature of the emitter, in particular it sets the operating temperature of the emitter between 0° C. and 30° C. For this purpose, simple UV emitters are used, in which an excimer filling is excited without electrodes in a UV-transparent discharge vessel, particularly a quartz glass tube.
