A disinfection device with a pressure vessel which has an interior space for receiving a medium, and with at least one radiating device which is arranged such that it emits radiation into the interior space of the pressure vessel, wherein one or several surfaces of the interior space of the pressure vessel are formed at least partially as a reflection surface for the radiation. A particularly reliable sterilization of medical or dental compressed air in the pressure vessel is made possible. One or several disinfection devices according to the invention can be provided in a compressor system for providing compressed air for dental applications, in a dental treatment device with a compressed air device and/or in a connection device with one or several tube sections for guiding compressed air for dental applications.
