Device and method for providing a high voltage pulsed electric field to a fluid

摘要

The invention provides a device for applying a pulsed high voltage electric field (PEF) treatment to a (laminar) fluid flow, said device comprising a chamber comprising an inlet with an inlet cross sectional area, an outlet, a treatment zone, and at least a first and a second electrode positioned for providing an axialelectric field in said treatment zone, wherein the cross sectional area of the treatment zone is at least as large as the cross sectional area of the inlet.
