Zusammenfassung:An apparatus includes a housing having an elongated chamber, an inlet opening extending into the chamber, and a slit shaped outlet opening. A tube element extends in a longitudinal direction through the chamber and is at least partially transparent to UV radiation. The tube element is arranged in the chamber such that a flow space is formed between the tube element and the wall of the chamber. At least one UV-radiation source in the tube element is arranged to emit UV-radiation in the direction of the flow space and through the outlet opening out of the housing to generate radicals in the liquid and bring the radicals to the substrate surface. Means are provided for adjusting the radiation exiting the outlet opening through the tube element such that the intensity of the radiation increases towards the longitudinal center plane of the chamber.
