The application concerns a device for sterilisation of beverages by means of an electrical field, i.e. PEF inactivation. The beverage is led through a nonconductive fluid path where at least two sets of electrodes are provided in particular configurations along the path to form capacitors with specific capacitances. One feature involves electrodes which contain perpendicular parts. Additionally the device comprises a pair of trigger points and an electrical activation circuit for short-circuiting said pair of trigger points and for causing an electric field to propagate from said first trigger point and along said fluid path. |
