- FIG. 20 shows a tube 130 similar to that of FIG. 19 with two sheets 131 extending longitudinally along the tube, symmetrical with respect to the axial plane 132, in the form of inverse parabolas, the radii of curvature being such that all the primary and secondary radiation are found in the irradiated virtual focus F '.
- the convex curves of the bore modify the divergent radiating flux from the focal point located in the plasma gas medium, by a parallel flow, or substantially parallel in the transparent solid quartz medium.
- quartz tube according to the invention from a tube inside which biconvex lenses are slid in order to then produce assemblies as shown in FIGS. 15 to 16.
- the linear tension has a value greater than or equal to 50 Volts / cm, advantageously greater than or equal to 100 Volts / cm. Even more advantageously, a combination of a plasma beam length greater than lm50 and a linear voltage greater than 20 volts / cm is combined.
- the radius of the cross section of the cylindrical plasma beam, with respect to the diameter d of the circle inscribed at the apices of the bore, is such that l / 100d ⁇ r ⁇ l / 2d, for example l / 50d ⁇ r ⁇ l / 4d or r ⁇ l / 8d, r ⁇ l / 10d, and / or r> l / 20d.
- the invention also relates to devices which allow in particular the sterilization of water, either for the reflector with reverse parabola around an axis, or in sheet form for the reflector with 45 ° plane, and the drying of ink and varnish to polymerize on wire or circular products around an axis such as the marking of electrical wires, cables, rubber hoses, PVC tube, etc.
- an ultraviolet emitter / reflector according to the invention can be mounted on a sterilization or polymerization chamber, for example in opposition around a transparent cylinder serving as a sterilization or polymerization chamber, or even, for example, in opposition on either side of a liquid sheet contained between the two transparent walls formed by the planar faces of the planar emitter / reflector thereby producing a sterilization chamber.
