Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3502337A1] A device for irradiation of fluid with UV light having for disinfection purposes has a fluid passage for fluid flowing through it, at least one UV light source being arranged within the fluid passage and an energy source for the UV light source being arranged completely outside the fluid passage. Energy transfer means are provided for the wireless and contactless transmission of energy from the energy source to the at least one UV light source. This energy transmission can be inductively, such that the UV light source is activated directly or via an oscillating circuit. The energy transmission can also take place with microwaves. The device can be integrated into a washing machine with UV light sources inside a drum.
