    • DESI Plasma-Fluider - water-based disinfection

    Updated by Timo Altmeyer on the 6. October 2024

    DESI Plasma-Fluider – Alternative disinfection Purely water-based disinfection, without any additional chemicals. What initially sounds like hocus-pocus is based on the electrolysis of water, which forms reactive hydroxyl radicals. The DESI Plasma Fluider is a water purifier for private households and businesses that uses exactly this process. How it works The DESI Plasma Fluider is divided into a base unit with a plasma generator and a disinfection container with a capacity of 9 liters. To carry out the disinfection process, the container is filled with ordinary tap water and the items to be disinfected are placed in the water. Foods such as Fruit and vegetables, or meat and fish, as well as dishes, baby bottles or other items. An additional basket ensures that floating objects are kept in the water. The DESI Plasma Fluider is operated via a touch-sensitive control panel. Each program has its own button assigned to it. By selecting the program, the disinfection process is started in the respective program mode. During the almost silent process, the water becomes slightly milky and small bubbles rise from the plasma generator. Depending on the mode, the disinfection process takes between 20 and 40 minutes. The process time can be extended or reduced using the timer buttons + and –. shorten. A circular function light indicates the remaining time. Disinfection cycle DESI describes the disinfection cycle as follows: Through the electrolysis of water (H2O), it is decomposed into hydrogen (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH−). The released hydroxyl radicals are so reactive that they collide with bacteria, viruses and spores and destroy them. Hydrogen and hydroxide ions then combine again to form water. Mode of action The hydroxyl radical is also called the detergent of the atmosphere. Its reactive behavior contributes to the degradation of a wide variety of chemical compounds. Using our atmosphere as an example, it ensures a reduction in greenhouse gases. In the DESI plasma fluider, the hydroxyl radical decomposes harmful substances on the surfaces of the objects being treated. In addition to the bacteria, viruses and spores mentioned above, these also include pesticide residues on food or detergent residues on dishes. DESI promises a 99% elimination rate of bacteria, viruses and pesticides. Without the use of chemicals, disinfection with the DESI Plasma Fluider is an environmentally friendly low-temperature disinfection method. Water as a disinfectant A positive side effect is the creation of water-based disinfectants. Electrolysis produces additional oxidizing agents in the form of hydrogen peroxide and ozone. Therefore, you should not use metals with the DESI plasma fluidizer, as they can react with the byproducts. Both oxidizing agents are bactericidal and also effective against viruses. DESI product range The DESI Plasma Fluider is just one of the products in the new DESI product family. Matching the Fluider is the DESI Sprayer, an electric spray bottle with an adjustable spray nozzle. This allows the disinfectant produced to be distributed particularly efficiently on surfaces.

    Functionality

    The DESI Plasma-Fluider is divided into a base unit with a plasma generator and a disinfection container with a capacity of 9 liters. To carry out the disinfection process, the container is filled with ordinary tap water and the things to be disinfected are placed in the water.

    During the almost noiseless process, the water becomes slightly milky and small bubbles rise from the plasma generator. Depending on the mode, the disinfection process takes between 20 and 40 minutes. The process time can be lengthened or shortened using the timer buttons + and -. A circular function light shows the remaining time.

     Disinfection circuit 

    DESI describes the disinfection cycle as follows: Electrolysis of the water (H2O) breaks it down into hydrogen (H +) and hydroxide ions (OH−). The released hydroxyl radicals are so reactive that they collide with bacteria, viruses and spores and destroy them. Then hydrogen and hydroxide ions combine again to form water.

    Mode of action

    The hydroxyl radical is also known as the detergent of the atmosphere. Its reactive behavior contributes to the breakdown of a large number of different chemical compounds. Using our atmosphere as an example, it reduces greenhouse gases.

    In the DESI plasma fluid, the hydroxyl radical decomposes harmful substances on the surfaces of the objects to be treated. In addition to the bacteria, viruses and spores mentioned, this also includes pesticide residues on food or detergent residues on dishes. DESI promises a 99% elimination rate of bacteria, viruses and pesticides. Disinfection with the DESI Plasma-Fluider is an environmentally friendly, low-temperature disinfection method that does not require any chemicals.

    A positive side effect is the creation of water-based disinfectants. The electrolysis produces further oxidizing agents in the form of hydrogen peroxide and ozone. That is why you shouldn't use metals with the DESI plasma fluid, as they can react with the by-products. Both oxidizing agents are bactericidal and also work against viruses.
