WAYS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

In the 1 is an embodiment of a pneumatic cleaning and dosing device 10 shown in a very schematic way. A pressure generating unit 12 or a pressure booster unit is connected, for example, to an existing compressed air network D and generates a pressure of for example 16 bar. The pressure generating unit 12 stands with a pressure vessel 14 in connection. From a cleaning medium storage 16 becomes the pressure vessel 14 Supplied cleaning medium, which may be, for example, pure anolyte (biocide).

The compressed air mixture of compressed air and cleaning medium is via a nozzle unit 18 , which may be formed for example as a valve unit or vaccine unit, a system to be cleaned 40 fed, containing, for example, a compressed air line system. It is in the pressure vessel 14 Pending pressure greater than that within the system 40 prevailing pressure, so the plant 40 can be cleaned during their operation.

Furthermore, there is a control device 20 present, which is the supply of the pressure-generating unit 12 generated compressed air to the pressure vessel 14 controls the addition of the cleaning medium from the cleaning medium storage 16 in the pressure vessel 14 controls and the admission of the nozzle unit 18 controlled with the compressed air cleaning medium mixture.

In addition is in 2 highly schematized a processing / exposure device 50 shown, which is a frequency generation unit 22 / Contains a frequency simulator and the analog generated electromagnetic low-frequency oscillations emits on the compressed air cleaning medium mixture and / or the medium to be cleaned of the system 40 acts.

In 2 is schematically the action of the processing / action device 50 with the frequency generation unit 22 on the cleaning and dosing device 10 or their cleaning medium or their compressed air cleaning medium mixture and / or directly to the medium of the system to be cleaned 40 shown. The action can alternatively on the cleaning and dosing 10 or the plant to be cleaned 40 or cumulatively on the device 10 and the plant 40 respectively.

In 3 is highly schematic of a processing / Einwirkungsvorrichtung 50 shown, which is independent of the cleaning and dosing device 10 can be used. This processing / action device 50 has a storage unit 24 on, which is formed in the embodiment as a disk unit and can be set up on a substrate. Below the storage unit 24 is the processing / action device 50 with frequency generation unit 22 arranged. Above on the storage unit 24 is a container 26 , In the embodiment, a bottle stored with a medium to be treated, such as a drink 52 , is filled.

The frequency generation unit 22 stands with a control unit 54 in connection, being via the control unit 54 the exposure time of the frequency generation unit 22 on the medium 52 (Drink) is definable. The frequency generation unit 22 is designed to be able to generate low frequency electromagnetic oscillations at different frequencies, which are then superimposed. The frequency range of the frequency generation unit 22 generated vibrations is for example in the range between 0.5 to 1000 Hz, in particular 0.5 to 600 Hz.

In a preferred embodiment, for example, four oscillations are generated with different low frequencies and stored one above the other.
