Application of pulsed electrical discharge lamps for bactericidal treatment

A bactericidal treatment analytical analysis of the potentialities of pulsed UV lamps has been carried out. A comparison of traditional low- and high-pressure mercury lamps has been performed. Devices with pulsed xenon lamps are characterized by higher power consumption, lower resources, and higher exploitation expenditures than low-pressure mercury lamps. Xenon lamps may be used in equipment or under conditions in which the mercury presence is barred.
