METHOD FOR TREATING A GASEOUS MEDIUM CONTAINING CONTAMINATING PARTICLES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for treating a gaseous medium containing contaminating particles such as microorganisms, bacteria or viruses. The inventive method consists in generating an accelerated electron flux; the electron flux interacts with the gaseous medium, whereby the particles are broken or destroyed by ionization as a result of said interaction and the gaseous medium is sterilized. The invention can be used to treat the atmospheres of refrigerated vessels in refrigerators.
