The bactericidal efficiency can be expressed as a decrease in the percentage of specific microorganisms and viruses or as a radiation dose (in J/m2) which indicates the microorganisms present in the device. If the manufacturer of the device does not indicate the sterilization efficiency, the sterilization efficiency of the water sterilization device is determined according to DVGW_NormW294 (2〇〇6). It is preferable that the treated water is supplied to the user at the time of starting the water intake, i.e., when the switching mechanism of the skimming mechanism is opened and the water sterilizing device is activated immediately. That is to say, at the beginning of the extraction process, the uv lamp should reach the threshold power required to determine sterilization. The use of an oversized UV lamp that achieves the desired threshold power Ps in a short time after startup has the disadvantage that it requires a large installation space due to its large gas space. Another disadvantage is that higher energy consumption' is ultimately unnecessary because the illumination power will exceed the required threshold power Ps' in a warm state, resulting in a souther acquisition, i.e., operating cost. In view of the above, EP 1 048 620 A1 proposes a water sterilisation device comprising a UVC fruit steam lamp which emits radiation at a high frequency. The electrodes of the lamp are placed outside the discharge space. In addition to mercury, such lamps are typically filled with a gas comprising xenon (Xe). The apparatus includes a fruit vapor lamp having a discharge vessel having a wall surface formed of a dielectric material having a first electrode and a second electrode ' disposed on an outer surface thereof and filled with a gas including helium. In order to achieve a better combination of radiation spectrum for water sterilization, the wall is provided with a coating on a portion of its inner surface that has a luminescent material that emits light in the UVC spectrum. 201023240 Λ - This water sterilizer is ready to achieve 100% operation within a few milliseconds and has a spectral combination of UV rays' which is only between 230-ηιπ to 300 nm in the spectrum associated with sterilization. Although the water sterilizing device is ready immediately after starting, the device has the following disadvantages: its manufacturing cost is quite high compared to a low-pressure mercury vapor lamp, especially because it is excited by high frequency radiation. Another solution is proposed by US 2004/0182761 A1, which discloses a water sterilization device having a UV lamp. A condensing element is provided in the center of the UV lamp, which is disposed between the electrodes and cooled. Mercury present in the lamp can condense there, and when the lamp is turned on, the condensed mercury evaporates rapidly', thereby saving only a very short time. No. 5,738,780 discloses a water sterilisation device in which the lamp also operates without water flowing through the reaction chamber. This will increase the total current demand and shorten the life of the lamp. When the water is taken out, the radiation power is correspondingly increased and adapted to the water flow. (4) In this device, a large amount of _ heat is generated during the tumbling, which hinders its use for sterilization and cooling water. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a mercury vapor lamp that provides a preset threshold power ps in a short time after startup. Another object of the present invention is to provide a fluid sterilizing apparatus and a sterilizing method for a tumor, wherein the sterilized fluid must be prepared in as short a time as possible after starting. The above object is achieved by a fruit steam lamp having at least one gas discharge tube, the gas discharge tube having a right sound start, and an electrode for performing the exhaust, in addition to the electric 5 201023240 pole, a device for heating the gas discharge tube. It was found that after the start of the mercury flash lamp, that is, after the start of the gas discharge, the desired radiation is quickly reached (4), and if the gas (four) f tube is heated before the lamp is started or when the lamp is started, not only the gas discharge but also the gas discharge is performed. At the same time, the gas discharge dam is additionally heated to the heat generated by the gas discharge process. This additional addition of the teachable eclipse sheep ^ ... makes the start of the mercury steam η lamp faster. In particular, when the mercury vapor lamp placed in the sterilizing device emits uv radiation, the time to reach the desired threshold power Ps can be considerably shortened. The water vapor > flying light preferably has the advantage that the lamp is connected by a touch mechanism. One less base is used as a socket. The socket has a simple manner and a complementary configuration. The base preferably has a contact member corresponding to the gas discharge tube and the means for heating the gas discharge tube. The integrated construction of the base has the advantage that after the lamp is placed in the -contact mechanism, there is no need to connect the heating device. Preferably, the base has a contact pin, at least one of which is coupled to the means for heating. The base has an upper surface. The gas discharge tube is disposed on the upper surface. The gas discharge tube can be inserted into the base. Preferably, the means for heating the UV lamp has a plug that can be inserted into the base so that the heating device can be easily replaced when needed. The (4)_ is disposed on the _ side of the base, preferably on the bottom side of the base. The contact pin can be constructed of a solid material. Preferably, a hollow pin having the advantage of a (metal) wire, such as a heating wire or a contact wire, can be easily guided and secured to the pin. For example, the wire is pressed against the wire. The hollow pin can also be used to introduce a heated fluid 'for heating the gas discharge tube. The steam lamp is preferably a lamp incorporating a heating unit. The base with contact pins allows easy replacement of the lamp and heating unit. The means for heating preferably uniformly heats the gas discharge tube. In particular, in a mercury vapor lamp that emits uv rays, the actual radiation power is determined by the coldest point of the gas Φ body discharge. Avoid cold spots and shorten the initial phase in uniformly heating the gas discharge tube. If the gas discharge tube is designed to have a cooler section, the means for heating the gas discharge tube is formed to provide more thermal energy there than elsewhere. Different embodiments of the present invention can be used as a means for heating a gas discharge tube. According to a first embodiment, the means for heating the gas discharge tube comprises at least one heating element.此种 This heating element is preferably connected to its own power supply and is preferably activated simultaneously with the gas discharge tube. The or the heating element may be disposed in the gas discharge tube or on at least one wall surface of the gas discharge tube or outside the wall surface of the gas discharge tube. It must be noted that the heating element must be kept from illuminating the radiation as much as possible. Therefore, the heating element preferably comprises at least one heating wire. The heating element is preferably a heating coil. Such a heating element may surround the gas discharge tube or may form a coil inside the wall of the gas discharge tube. 7 201023240 The second embodiment discloses that the heating element is formed on the inner and/or outer surface of the gas discharge tube with a conductive coating. The conductive plating film may be, for example, an aluminum layer. The conductive mineral film may be formed, for example, in a strip shape on the surface. The second embodiment discloses that the gas discharge tube is heated by a heated fluid, such as by a heated liquid or a heated gas. For this embodiment, the apparatus preferably includes at least one trough through which the heated fluid flows. Such a groove may be formed on, for example, a wall surface of a gas discharge tube. The means for heating the gas discharge tube may also include at least one component for a heating fluid to circulate. This component can be placed in or around the gas discharge tube. Suitable for use herein are, for example, hollow conduits, such as a hose or a small tube. The material of the hollow tube preferably includes a uv-permeable material to minimize UV absorption. Another embodiment discloses that the apparatus for heating a gas discharge tube includes a blower 'about a heating gas surrounding the gas discharge tube. The waste heat of other components of a device to which the emulsion discharge tube is mounted can be utilized as a heated gas. If the mercury vapor lamp becomes a zero-toner of the water sterilizing device and is installed in the refrigerator, the waste heat of the condenser of the compressed form of the refrigerator can be utilized. Instead of utilizing waste heat, the means for heating the gas discharge tube may also include a heating mechanism for heating the air. = The advantage of this example is that the gas discharge tube will be surrounded by a trough-like element. = (4) The component is configured such that a gap is formed between the gas discharge tube and the grooved member for the passage of the heated gas. At the end of the trough member, the gas can be directed or directed back to heat the still warm gas back to the original temperature of 201023240 and reused. Different means for heating the gas discharge tubes can also be used in combination with each other. The mercury vapor lamp can be a cold cathode lamp or a hot cathode lamp, in particular a low pressure lamp or a UVC lamp. - The object of the invention may be achieved by a fluid sterilization method, in particular a water sterilization method, wherein the fluid of the reaction chamber is irradiated by a mercury vapor lamp having a UV emission power greater than a predetermined threshold power Ps, the mercury vapor lamp It is additionally twisted by a heating device other than the electrode before starting or at the time of starting. Heating of the mercury vapor lamp can also be done before starting. In this case, the heating preferably lasts until the mercury vapor lamp is activated, and the special chamber can also exceed the start-up time of the mercury vapor lamp. This includes the heat generated by the gas discharge tube due to gas discharge after startup. If the mercury vapor lamp has, for example, an electrode with a heating coil, additional heating can be produced when the heating coil of the electrode is operated. Preferably, the mercury vapor lamp is additionally heated until the threshold power Ps is reached. According to another embodiment, the mercury vapor lamp has the advantage of being additionally heated until its optimum temperature is reached. When the emission power of the mercury vapor lamp reaches its maximum, its optimum temperature can be reached. The orphan A preferably maintains or adjusts the temperature of the mercury vapor lamp within a frequency range near the optimum temperature in the activated or non-activated state, or maintains or adjusts to -temperature' which exceeds the desired starting temperature. This is particularly advantageous if the lamp itself does not reach its optimum temperature or the starting temperature of 201023240 degrees required to reach the threshold power Ps. This may become necessary, for example, if the uv lamp is located in a very cold environment or used to sterilize a cold liquid. In these harsh cases, due to the extra heating, it still reaches the optimum temperature. According to other embodiments, the UV lamp can also be heated when it is not operating. In this case, the additional heating means can be a separate unit for heating the gas discharge tube. In this case, the temperature of the mercury vapor lamp can be maintained within a predetermined bandwidth. In this regard, it may be advantageous to control the temperature of the mercury vapor lamp. Preferably, the means for heating the gas discharge tube is always activated and deactivated when the temperature of the lamp exceeds or falls below a predetermined bandwidth of the lamp temperature. This heating can be adjusted or held constant so that the lamp temperature is continuously in the bandwidth. In addition to continuous heating, intermittent heating is also possible. Another preferred embodiment discloses heating the lamp by a heating device after the lamp is turned off. The heating by the heating device can be continued for a predetermined period of time after the gas discharge tube is closed, or the heating device is activated after the gas discharge tube is turned off, and is turned off after a certain period of time. If the low temperature or cold liquid is to be sterilized and retained in the reaction chamber after the shutdown, the temperature of the lamp will rapidly decrease, especially below its starting temperature, and then heating is advantageous thereafter. The UV lamp's starting temperature occurs if the UV lamp reaches its threshold power immediately after startup or at a specific time. For example, the threshold power can be reached within 30 seconds, and the activation temperature of the UV lamp is preferably in the range of 2 to 2 rc. The fluid sterilization device has at least one container for fluid to flow, at least one reaction chamber at least one mercury a vapor lamp having an electrode for exhausting, and 10 201023240. A gas discharge tube characterized by providing a device for heating the gas discharge tube in addition to the electrode. The device further includes a switch/adjustment The mechanism 'is used to activate or adjust the device for heating. The mechanism is connected to at least one thermometer for detecting the temperature of the lamp, and/or a uv sensor and/or a moving sensor. UV sensor The UV power of the illumination is measured during operation of the mercury vapor lamp. If it is lower than a predetermined value, the device for heating the gas discharge tube is activated. The lamp can also be selectively activated early [ie, in the heating device Before starting, the mobile sensor is triggered by a person approaching the flow sterilizer, and the device that causes the mercury vapor lamp and/or the heated gas discharge tube to be activated before the person reaches the fluid sterilizing device. Preferably, the bacteria device is a water sterilizing device. The water sterilizing device is preferably used in a cooling device such as a refrigerator or a device that releases the same cold liquid, particularly cold water. [Embodiment] Figure 1 shows with and without additional heating device. The behavior of the mercury vapor lamp at the start-up. At the time point to, the fruit steam lamp without the additional heating device is activated. The radiation power jumps to a value of about 7.5 within 1 second, then slowly climbs (curve I) When the threshold power Ps at which sterilization can be performed exhibits a value of 12, the mercury vapor lamp takes approximately 34 seconds from the time point to to be compared. In comparison, 'the time at which the mercury vapor lamp with the heating device is activated is 11 201023240 Behavior (curve π). At the time point, not only the mercury vapor lamp is activated, but the additional heating device is also activated. This causes the radiated power phase of the mercury vapor lamp to quickly (after about 3 seconds) exceed the threshold power ps. At time seven, approximately 10 seconds after the start time point, the additional heating device is turned off and the radiation power is reduced. The curve u passes through a minimum point and then rises again 'radiation power Stabilization is basically achieved after 70 seconds. It can be seen that a mercury vapor lamp with an additional heating device can reach the threshold power more quickly. Figure 2 is a diagram of a first embodiment of a mercury vapor lamp. The lamp mainly comprises a _ lamp The seat 2 and the gas discharge tube are formed by double tubes 3 and 4. The two gas discharge tubes 3 and 4 are connected to each other by a bridge 5. Electrodes 6 and 7 are provided in each of the gas discharge tubes 3 and 4. Connected to the lamp holder via wires 8, 9 respectively. Surrounding the gas discharge tubes 3, 4 is an additional means 20' for heating the mercury vapor lamp, which is represented by two heating coils 3 彼此 connected to each other. 3, 4 has its preferred coil 30 around its circumference, which is connected in the region of the bridge 5. The bridge 5 is also heated identically. The heating coil 3 is electrically connected to the outside by the wire 32'34.

The seventh chart is not a mercury vapor lamp 1, and has a plating film on the inner surface and the outer surface as a means for heating the mercury vapor lamp i. The coating can be sighed inside or outside. For the sake of clarity, the electrodes are not shown in Figure 7. As shown in the cross-sectional view of Fig. 8, the metal strip can be formed inside and outside the gas discharge tube 3 by a vapor deposition method. No wires are shown in either of the two figures. Figure 9 shows a further embodiment of a mercury vapor lamp 1 which is heated by a ® fluid. On the wall surface 3a of the gas discharge tube 3, a groove 50 is provided as a means for heating the water to evaporate the lamp, and a heated fluid flows through the groove 5''. This supply is made by the corresponding slots in the socket 2 in accordance with the embodiment shown here. Fig. 1a shows another embodiment in which the apparatus for heating the mercury vapor lamp 1 is formed of a hollow tube in a coil type hose 52, as shown in an enlarged cross-sectional view in Fig. Flow through it. The hollow tube can also be realized with a small tube or other fluid flowable configuration. The material of the hollow tube preferably comprises a UV permeable material. Fig. 11 shows another embodiment' in which the apparatus 13 201023240 20 for heating a lamp is formed by a blower 6A and a heating mechanism 62. The blower 60 and the heating mechanism 62 are provided at the lowermost end of the mercury vapor lamp 1 so that the heated air is blown from the blower to the base 2 in the longitudinal direction. The heated gas ' flows in particular through the gas discharge tube 3 and is led out or guided back (not shown) in the region of the base. In order to easily guide the air flow, the mercury vapor lamp 1 is disposed in a protective tube 58. There is a corresponding gap between the gas discharge tube 3 and the protective tube 58 through which heated air is directed. Fig. 12 shows a water sterilizing device 70 comprising a container 72 and a reaction chamber 74 having an inlet pipe 76 and an outlet pipe 78. Inside the container, there is a mercury vapor lamp 1 surrounding the gas discharge tube 3 with a heating coil 30. The heating coil 30 is coupled to a mechanism 36 that includes a current supply device and a switch and/or adjustment mechanism. The electrode system is connected to the current supply and switching mechanism 90. On the outside of the gas discharge tube 3, there is a thermometer 80, which is similarly connected to the mechanism 36. The means 20 for heating the gas discharge tube 3 is activated, turned off or adjusted depending on the temperature of the measured lamp. Alternatively or alternatively, a UV sensor 82 may be provided to provide a movement sensor 84 between the gas discharge tube 3 and the container 72, which is likewise coupled to the mechanism 36. Figure 13 is a circuit diagram of a fluid sterilizing device connected to a water pipe via a connecting member 100. The water introduced into the reaction chamber 74 via a valve 102 and discharged to the reaction chamber 74 flows the sterilized water out of the fluid sterilizing device via the outlet pipe 104. The UV lamp 1 is coupled to a switch and/or adjustment mechanism 36 coupled to a motion sensor 84'-temperature sensor 8A and a UV sensor 82. 14 201023240 * There is no need to connect all three sensors to the switch and / or adjustment mechanism. Only one or two of the above sensors are used depending on which application. Further, the switch and/or adjustment mechanism 36 is connected to the valve 102 and the outlet pipe 104 which are components of the pumping mechanism. The capture process is initiated by the user pressing a button provided on the outlet pipe. In this case, the valve 102 is opened by the switch and/or adjustment mechanism 36 and the capture procedure is initiated. It is also possible to activate the UV lamp or an additional device for heating the UV lamp 1 by activating the capture procedure. 9 When the motion sensor 84 is provided, the UV lamp and the additional heating device are also pre-activated by the switch and/or the adjustment mechanism. In this case, the button in the area of the outlet pipe 104 is first pressed, and the valve 1 〇 2 is opened by the switch and/or adjustment mechanism 36 and the capture procedure is initiated. Figure 14 shows a side view of another embodiment of a mercury vapor lamp 1. The mercury vapor lamp 1 comprises two gas discharge tubes 3, 4 which are connected via a bridge 5. The mercury vapor lamp 1 further comprises a base 2 on which the gas discharge tubes 3, 4 are disposed. Preferably, both gas discharge tubes 3, 4 are inserted into the base 2. The means for heating the gas discharge tubes 3, 4 is formed in the form of a heating coil 3''. It is a heating wire which is spirally formed around the two gas discharge tubes 3, 4 and also loops through the bridge 5. Plugs 31a, 31b are provided at both ends of the heating coil 3''' to be inserted into the upper surface 202 of the socket 2. Since it is only necessary to pull the plugs 31a, 31b out of the base 2 and release the heating wire, the heating coil 3 can be replaced in a simple manner. Contact pins 200a to 200f are provided on the lower surface 204 of the base 2. In the illustrated embodiment, all of the contact pins 200a through 200f are arranged one after the other 15 201023240. In addition to the preferred embodiment, the contact pins 200a through 200f can also be arranged in different groups. The contact pin is designed as a pin so that the socket 2 can be inserted by a complementary contact mechanism, which is not shown in the figures. In the embodiment of Fig. 14, an outer contact pin 2〇〇a and 2〇〇f are wires 32 and 34 connected to the heating coil 3〇. All of the contacts for the gas discharge tubes 3, 4 and the means for heating the gas discharge tubes are integrated into the base 2, so that when the steam lamp 1 is replaced, only new lamps and heating means need to be inserted into the contact mechanism. In an embodiment with two bases 2, all of the contacts can also be integrated into one socket 2. Fig. 15 is a perspective view of the mercury vapor lamp 1 shown in Fig. 14, in which, at least the contact pins 20〇3 and 2〇〇f form hollow pins. The hollow pin has the advantage that the heating wire 38 for heating the coil 3 turns can be introduced into the opening 201 on the end face side. After the introduction of the heating wire 38, the extended end is cut off, and the contact pins 200a, 200f are crimped to the inner side of the heating wire 38. In this embodiment, contrary to Fig. 14, the contact pins 200a and 200f are designed to be pierced from the upper surface of the base 2 without using the plugs 31a, 31b.
