Arrangement for neutralisation or microorganisms
First Claim
1. An arrangement for the exposure of a pumpable medium to an electric field, wherein the arrangement comprises:
- power supply for the generation of electrical voltage,at least one non-conducting chamber for pumping said pumpable medium, which said at least one chamber is provided with a first and a second electrode plate,wherein the power supply comprises at least two power supplies for the generation of an electrical voltage, wherein each power supply comprises a voltage converter (T), an electric charge storing element (C), and a switch (S1);
a control means for controlling said at least two power supplies, wherein the control means by synchronous control of each power supply switch (S1) with a common control signal, generated by the control means in the form of a pulse with a duration of 0.1-100 microseconds, establish a serial connection between at least two of said at least two power supplies, the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, wherein a resulting composite voltage arises between the first and the second electrode plate, which resulting composite voltage creates an electric field between the first and the second electrode plate, wherein the pumpable medium is exposed to the electric field, andwherein said at least one non-conducting chamber for pumping said pumpable medium is a piston pump with a piston whose top surface is one of the electrode plates, wherein the piston pump is connected to an input feed pipe and an outlet feed pipe.

Abstract
An arrangement for the exposure of a pumpable medium to an electric field. The arrangement comprises, at least two power supplies (100) for the generation of electrical voltage, at least one non-conducting chamber (102) for pumping said pumpable medium, which said at least one chamber (102) is provided with a first (106) and a second electrode plate (108), a control means (104) for controlling said at least two power supplies (100). During control the control means (104), by synchronous control, establishes a series connection between at least two of said at least two power supplies (100), the first electrode plate (106) and the second electrode plate (108). A resulting composite voltage arises between the first (106) and the second electrode plate (108), which resulting composite voltage will result in an electric field between the first (106) and the second electrode plate (108). The pumpable medium is exposed to the electric field. A method for the exposure of a pumpable medium to an electric field is also provided.

18. A method for the exposure of a pumpable medium to an electric field,
comprising the steps of; -
that at least one non-conducting chamber, which is equipped with a first and a second electrode plate and which consists of a piston pump with a piston, whose upper part is one of the electrode plates, wherein the piston pump is connected to an inlet feed pipe and an outlet feed pipe, is filled with the pumpable medium, wherein the pumpable medium is subjected to a pressure; that an electrical voltage is generated by at least two power supplies, wherein each power supply comprises a voltage converter (T), an electrical charging storage element (C), and a switch (S1); that a control means for controlling said at least two power supplies by synchronous control of each power supply switch (S1) with a common control signal, generated by the control means in the form of a pulse with a duration of 0.1-100 microseconds, establishes a serial connection between at least two of said at least two power supplies, the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, wherein a resulting composite voltage arises between the first and the second electrode plate, which resulting composite voltage results in the electric field between the first and the second electrode plate, wherein the pumpable medium is exposed to the electric field, and that said at least one non-conducting chamber is emptied from the pumpable medium. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
