Abstract

In various embodiments, an emitter for the irradiation of surfaces is provided. The emitter may include: an emitter vessel and an emitter base connected thereto, wherein the emitter base has at least one gas opening, which is designed for supplying a process gas into a spatial area adjacent to the emitter vessel.

Claims (28)

1. An emitter for the irradiation of surfaces, the emitter comprising:

an emitter vessel and an emitter base connected thereto,

wherein the emitter base has a plurality of gas openings, which are designed for supplying a process gas into a spatial area adjacent to the emitter vessel;

wherein the emitter vessel is flat;

wherein the emitter base is in the form of a frame;

wherein the emitter base protrudes beyond a radiation emitting front surface area of the emitter vessel, the protrusion comprising an inner side located adjacent to the radiation emitting front surface area;

and wherein a plurality of gas openings are arranged on the inner side.

2. The emitter as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one gas opening is arranged and oriented in such a way that the process gas can flow into a spatial area adjacent to the emitter vessel.

3. The emitter as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the emitter vessel is provided with at least one tunnel-like through-opening, which is provided for supplying or discharging the process gas.

4. The emitter as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a gas connection for the supply of process gas.

5. The emitter as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the emitter base has at least one gas opening, which is designed for the discharge of a process gas.

6. The emitter as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the emitter vessel consists at least sectionally of a material which is transparent to the radiation.

7. The emitter as claimed in claim 1 ,

which is designed for the emission of UV radiation.

8. The emitter as claimed in claim 1 ,

which is designed for a dielectric barrier discharge in the interior of the emitter vessel.

9. A use of an emitter for sterilizing flat surfaces, the emitter comprising:

an emitter vessel and an emitter base connected thereto,

wherein a process gas is supplied into a spatial area adjacent to the emitter vessel through a plurality of gas openings of the emitter base;

wherein the emitter vessel is flat;

wherein the emitter base is in the form of a frame;

wherein the emitter base protrudes beyond a radiation emitting front surface area of the emitter vessel, the protrusion comprising an inner side located adjacent to the radiation emitting front surface area;

and wherein a plurality of gas openings are arranged on the inner side.
