Abstract

Requirements for working chambers intended for the sterilization of foodstuffs by high-voltage pulses are specified. Cassette- and flow-chamber designs are described. The limiting pulse voltage (U ≈ 120 kV) and electric-field intensity (E ≈ 120 kV/cm) achieved in the chambers tested are given. The dependence of the lifetime of the working chambers on the operating electric-field intensity and on the pulse duration is estimated.
