A dielectric barrier discharge lamp assembly for a fluid processing system. The lamp assembly can include an induction secondary coil, first and second electrodes coupled to the induction secondary coil, and a lamp including a dielectric barrier interposed between the first and second electrodes. The dielectric barrier can define a discharge cell, which contains a discharge gas, and one of the first and second electrodes can extend into the discharge cell. The inductive secondary coil can be adapted to receive electrical energy from a nearby inductive primary coil, causing the dielectric barrier to discharge in the discharge chamber. The resulting dielectric barrier discharge can generate ultraviolet light for use in treating air or water, or for other applications. |
