| 摘要 |
This invention relates to a treatment device 1 for treating liquid products, e.g. milk, soup and orange juice. The device includes an electrodeless plasma bulb, which is excitable by RF energy in either pulsed or continuous form, which irradiates the liquid product as it passes through a first chamber 100. The first chamber also includes means to encourage the flow of liquid product to be turbulent, thus ensuring the emitted light irradiates a greater proportion of the liquid product. The liquid product then passes to a second chamber 200 by an interconnecting chamber, for treatment by another plasma bulb. The interconnecting chamber also includes means to encourage the flow of liquid product to be turbulent. The means for encouraging turbulence may be a corrugated surface, or a plurality of baffles.
