Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for decontamination and detoxification by emitting light flashes rich in UV radiation, particularly UVC. Said device comprises: - a flash lamp (21); - a reflector (110), preferably placed behind the flash lamp, so as to reflect the light emitted by the lamp towards an output window; and - a UV detector (100) for measuring the UV radiation emitted by the lamp (21).
The decontamination and detoxification UVC device of the present invention relates to installations for emitting radiation-rich flashes in order to decontaminate or detoxify, for example, the skin such as fruit or detoxification to substantially reduce certain mycotoxins such as patulin is a toxic molecule as a result of the metabolism of certain moulds present on the fruits and the radiation and more particularly UVC has an actionpotentially pathogenic or undesirable biocide such as fungi or toxic materials such as fungi or toxic, as proposed by lamp-based UV radiation sources. To be the flashes must carry energy, which poses a problem of the generated calories and the holding of the materials of the flash lamps can in some situations not to emit due, for example, accidental that electrical is created outside or partially in the lamp.due to the aging of the lamp which tends to opacify quartz from the measurement of the current generated to the lamp, it is possible to guarantee neither the flash nor that the necessary dose has been necessary to ensure the traceability of the emissions, in particular so as to be able to guarantee the decontamination or detoxification treatment well, in particular to meet this need and to further improve the radiation production facilities.According to a first aspect of the invention, by means of a device for decontamination by emission of light-rich light flashes, in particular comprising a lamp, in particular arranged at the rear of the lamp for returning the light emitted by the lamp to a window of a UV detector for measuring the UV radiation emitted by the presence of the UV detector, it is possible to know the level of UV radiation effectively, it is possible to check that the flash has been well known and the production levelcorresponds to that of the reflector can have an orifice and the UV detector can be placed behind it completely allows the UV detector In and a UV detector to each flash lamp the detection of the UV can be closest to the lamp and thus provide a reliable image of the radiation the diameter of preferably less than or equal to 5 better is comprised between and 1 being, for example, a large part of the industrial applications requiring sealing of the head.The exit window may comprise a transparent pane made of synthetic quartz and joined by gluing at its periphery to a frame of the monitoring of the breakage of said glass pane, a security element of the glass pane being coated on its first metallized track s along at least one major side of the first track can be provided with a loop, the ends of which preferably lie on the short side of the metallized track.can be electrically connected to a continuity detector and can be used to detect a possible leak of the track in such a way that the electrical conduction of the line can be interrupted by the continuity detector, whereby the thickness thereof is preferably less than or better still lower than the metal track can be covered on its outer, insulating coating, in particular, which can have been deposited,the risk of disturbance of the reading of the conductivity of the track is preferably turned on the side of the lamp, and a second non-stressed track can be deposited on the side window and can be superimposed on a glue joint ensuring the window and the frame of the second track can then form a screen of the incident UV radiation to protect the seal. This allows premature aging of the joint under. An advantageous solution consists in joining the twoThe glass breakage monitoring and the protection of the UV glue joint emitted by the track must then be sufficiently thin to ensure breakage in the breakage of the window and preferably have a thickness of at least 100 nm in order to block the UV radiation towards and preferably positioned on the side of the support frame can be assembled on a housing containing the interposition joint, the detector is preferably carried by a cardElectronic device disposed on the device may include a support radiator having grooves formed between fins and
