Definitions
- the invention relates to a dimmable amalgam lamp, with a quartz glass tube which encloses a discharge space containing a filling gas and which is closed at its two ends with bruises, is passed through at least one current feedthrough to each helical electrode in the discharge space, wherein at least one of the bruises a cavity having an opening to the discharge space for receiving an amalgam supply, which is temperature controlled by means of the helical electrode.
- the invention relates to a method for operating an amalgam lamp when dimming.
- Such amalgam lamps are low pressure mercury lamps in which amalgam is used to increase performance.
- Amalgam lamps are used for technologically demanding applications that require high UV radiation densities and high reliability, such as UV sterilization and oxidation.
- a supply of solid amalgam is introduced into the discharge space in addition to the filling gas.
- the effect of the amalgam is to control the mercury vapor pressure within the discharge space enclosed by the lamp body.
- Such an amalgam lamp is known from US 2006/267495 A1. This consists of a quartz glass tube made of quartz glass, which is closed on both sides with bruises through which a current feedthrough is laid in the discharge space to a helical electrode through each.
- solid amalgam gam in an additional container which is open to the discharge space.
- the additional container is positioned behind one of the electrodes. Since the container is open to the filling gas, the solid amalgam is in thermodynamic equilibrium with the filling gas of the lamp.
- the additional container protrudes either through the cylinder jacket surface of the quartz glass tube or through one of the bruises into the discharge space.
- an additional fixation of the amalgam supply is provided in the additional container by means of a fused hook-shaped holder.
- the melting of the additional container for receiving the amalgam supply requires an additional process step and is associated with the risk of loss of the quartz glass tube.
- a heating coil In the vicinity of the amalgam supply a heating coil is provided, which has its own circuit and a temperature control. As a result, the amalgam supply can be kept at a certain temperature, thus ensuring the highest possible efficiency of the amalgam lamp.
- amalgam lamp In amalgam lamps, where the amalgam reservoir is located on the inside wall of the discharge space, the amalgam has an optimum temperature at the nominal lamp power, thereby ensuring an optimal mercury vapor pressure. When dimming, however, the heat flow from the discharge area between the electrodes to the amalgam reservoir decreases so that it becomes colder and the mercury vapor pressure and the efficiency of the amalgam lamp decrease.
- the cooling of the amalgam supply is counteracted by setting the temperature in the region of the amalgam and the amalgam be determined degree of efficiency and there is a corresponding adjustment of the temperature of the separate heater.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a structurally simple amalgam lamp, which maintains a high efficiency of UV-C emission even when operating at lower power (dimming).
- the invention has for its object to provide a procedure for operating the amalgam lamp at dimming, which ensures a high efficiency of UV-C radiation.
- the current feedthrough to helical electrode comprises a forward line and a return line for a heating current I_add, wherein a control device is provided by means of the heating current I_add in Dependence on the height of the actual lamp current I is adjustable.
- the tempering of the amalgam reservoir serves to generate a mercury vapor pressure in the discharge space, which is independent of the current performance of the amalgam lamp and ensures optimal efficiency for the UV radiation. There is a range of optimal temperature of the amalgam, which is independent of the nominal power of the amalgam lamp.
- the helical electrode adjacent to the amalgam supply is used. This thus serves both to generate an arc and to maintain a predetermined temperature of the amalgam supply.
- the arc attacks the surface of the electrode so that it is heated by the arc.
- This heating depends on the power of the arc and is transferred to the amalgam supply by thermal radiation.
- the contribution of the arc to heating the amalgam supply is low.
- a tempering of the amalgam reservoir enclosed in the pinch is thus provided over the heated electrode, without the need for an expensive additional heating device or the like.
- the lamp current decreases from the nominal value Ijiominal (100% power) to a lower value and, accordingly, the heat flow from the filament to the amalgam supply decreases, which thereby does not reach the predetermined temperature.
- the vapor pressure of mercury within the discharge space and thus also the UV-C emission sink to a value below the optimum.
- an additional current is sent through the helical electrode according to the invention.
- the auxiliary current heats the helical electrode, which is close to the amalgam reservoir, beyond the temperature that would otherwise set with the lamp power dimmed.
- the amount of the additional current depends on the difference between the nominal power and the requested power when dimming. It has proven useful if the control device is intended to set the additional current "I_add" in accordance with the following design rule:
- the control device is used to adjust the additional current so that even in dimmed operation an optimal temperature of the amalgam supply is maintained and so a high efficiency of UV-C emission can be achieved. If the sum of the additional current and the actual lamp current in dimmed operation is greater than twice the nominal lamp current, the amalgam will overheat. If the sum of the additional current and the actual lamp current in dimmed operation is less than 0.5 times the nominal lamp current, the amalgam supply, on the other hand, becomes too cold. In both cases, the efficiency of UV-C emission decreases. It has been shown that a complex temperature control for the temperature of the electrode or the Arnaigamvorrats can be dispensed with in these boundary conditions.
- the additional current is adjusted by means of the control device in dependence on the dimmed actual lamp current so that the sum of additional current and actual lamp current corresponds exactly to the nominal lamp current.
- the deviations from this ideal value are in the range of +/- 10% (based on the nominal lamp current). Therefore an embodiment of the amalgam lamp is particularly preferred, in which the control device is adapted to adjust the additional current "l_add" in accordance with the following design rule:
- I_add + I is I_nominal + 0.1 I_nominal (2)
- the Amalgamvorrat of the helical electrode has a distance "L" (in m), which is set in dependence on the nominal lamp current on the basis of the following equation:
- the distance between the amalgam supply and the helical electrode plays an essential role.
- the amalgam supply from the helical electrode is at a distance which is set as a function of the nominal lamp current on the basis of the following equation:
- the distance between the amalgam reservoir and the helical electrode is understood as meaning the distance between the longitudinal axis of the radiator of the filament and the amalgam reservoir. That is, the longitudinal axis position of the arc facing outside of the coil and the longitudinal axis position of the electrode facing the outside of the amalgam supply, as shown schematically in Figure 1.
- the distance is determined by the length of the helical electrode power supply lines and the diameter of the helix. With the same coil diameters, only the length of the power supply lines to the electrode is decisive, which are also referred to below as "legs".
- the distance "L" (in m) between the amalgam reservoir and the helical electrode is set using the equation:
- the pinch is provided with a cavity within which the amalgam reservoir is received.
- the cavity is formed in the simplest case in the production of the pinch using a special mold. In this cavity, the amalgam reservoir is reliably fixed, so that it can not escape even in tilted positions of the amalgam lamp.
- the cavity opening has an opening width which is impassable for the amalgam reservoir.
- the amalgam reservoir is present as a solid solid and has a shape and size that prevents leakage from the cavity opening in the discharge space as a solid.
- the placement of the amalgam reservoir in the cavity here requires the introduction of amalgam in a flowable state and subsequent solidification to the solid amalgam, which fills the cavity completely or partially. A suitable measure for this will be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment.
- a holding element protrudes, which is anchored to the amalgam reservoir.
- the retaining element contributes to the fixation or additional anchoring of the amalgam reservoir within the cavity and is preferably at least partially embedded in the respective pinch.
- a first embodiment of the amalgam lamp has proven to be in which the holding element consists of quartz glass and is guided from the outside through the pinch in the cavity.
- the holding element in this case has an elongated cylindrical part which extends through the pinch and allows handling and alignment of the holding element before making the pinch.
- the holding element further has a part projecting into the cavity, which can be provided with a hook and which serves to anchor the amalgam supply.
- the holding element is made of quartz glass, so that differences between the thermal expansion coefficients of the holding element and the material of the pinch, which is also the quartz glass, are avoided.
- the holding element consists of metal and is connected to a power supply line of the electrode.
- the metallic holding element is in this case welded to a supply line for the power supply of the electrode. This results in a predetermined position of the holding element with respect to the cavity to be produced. Therefore, it must be ensured in the production of the pinch that the free end of the retaining element comes to rest in the cavity to be produced. On the other hand, it is unnecessary to introduce and align a holding element in an additional process step.
- the above-mentioned object is achieved in that the current feedthrough to the helical electrode comprises an outgoing line and a return line for an additional current I_add, and in that the additional current I_add as a function of the height of the Actual lamp current I_lst is set.
- an additional current is passed through the helical electrode, which depends on the difference between the nominal power of the amalgam lamp and the requested power when dimming.
- the heating current "I_add" is preferably set according to the following design rule:
- the additional current I_add is ideally set so that the sum of additional current and actual lamp current corresponds exactly to the nominal lamp current. Slight deviations from this ideal case are readily acceptable, for example, deviations in the range of +/- 10% of the nominal lamp current. Accordingly, a procedure for operating the amalgam lamp is particularly preferred in which the additional current is set in accordance with the following design rule:
- I_add + I_ist I_nominal ⁇ 0.1 I_nominal.
- FIG. 2 shows the detail according to FIG. 1 in a side view in a section along the line A-A
- FIG. 3 shows a side view of a further embodiment of an amalgam lamp according to the invention in detail
- Figure 4 shows a further embodiment of the amalgam lamp according to the invention in detail in a front view
- Figure 5 shows an embodiment of the amalgam lamp according to the invention with a circuit diagram showing a part of the power supply.
- Figure 1 shows schematically one of the two ends of an amalgam lamp 20, characterized by a nominal power of 800 W (at a nominal lamp current of 8 A), a radiator length of 150 cm and thus by a power density of slightly less than 5 W / cm distinguished. It consists of a quartz glass tube 1, which is closed at its ends with bruises 2, are embedded in the molybdenum foils 3 and the ends of metallic terminals 4 to a helical electrode 5. For this purpose, the electrode 5 has "legs" 15 which are connected to the molybdenum foil 3.
- an arc 13 is generated during operation, the foot 14 of which terminates on the surface of the electrode 5.
- the upper edge of the electrode, on which the base 14 of the arc 13 attacks, is marked with a dashed line 12.
- the pinch 2 at the illustrated end is provided with a cavity 9 which serves as a receptacle for an amalgam reservoir 6.
- the cavity 9 has an opening 7 to the discharge space 8.
- the opening width of the opening 7 is significantly narrower than the maximum clear width of the cavity 9 and also narrower than the maximum diameter of the amalgam reservoir 6, so that the amalgam is trapped in the cavity 9 and in solid form not in the discharge space. 8 can get.
- the maximum opening width of the opening 7 is 2 mm.
- the amalgam reservoir 6 is fixed in the vicinity of the electrode 5.
- the electrode 5 is heated by the arc 13 to a temperature which depends on the current performance of the amalgam lamp 20 (see also FIG. 5) and which has an effect on the amalgam reservoir 6, depending on the distance L.
- the distance L between the amalgam reservoir 6 and the length position 12 of the foot point 14 is determined by the following equation:
- the distance L is approximately 4.5 cm in the case of the amalgam lamp 20 in the exemplary embodiment. According to the invention, this distance is adjusted as a function of the nominal lamp current, which is done in practice by adjusting the length of the legs 15. The distance L is measured between the upper edge 12 of the electrode coil and the upper edge 16 of the amalgam supply, as indicated by the block arrow "L".
- the amalgam lamp 20 is equipped with a (not shown in the figure) dimming and control device, which is explained below with reference to FIG 5 in more detail.
- FIG. 3 schematically shows a supplementary fixation of the amalgam reservoir 6 by means of a quartz glass fiber 10, which extends through the pinch seal 2 into the amalgam reservoir 6 and forms a uniform quartz glass mass with it after production of the pinch seal.
- FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of the amalgam lamp according to the invention, in which the amalgam reservoir 6 is additionally fixed in the cavity 9 by means of a metallic hook 11.
- the hook 11 is welded to one of the legs 15 for the electrode 5, and its free end extends into the amalgam 6.
- FIG. 5 shows the ends of the discharge space 8 (shown in broken lines) of the amalgam lamp 20 according to FIG. 1, with the helical electrodes 5a, 5b opposite the discharge space 8, whose electrical connections are guided through the pinchings 2.
- Both bruises 2 are provided with a cavity 9, but only one cavity 9 is filled with an amalgam reservoir 6, which is adjacent to the coil (electrode) 5a.
- the power supply of the amalgam lamp 20 includes a first circuit "A”, which serves to heat the electrode 5a, and a second circuit “B”, which serves to apply the lamp voltage of nominally 100 volts.
- the circuits "A” and “B” are part of a control device 21.
- an additional heating current I_add is conducted through the electrode 5a via the circuit "A", which leads to a temperature increase of the electrode 5a.
- This increase in temperature brings about an additional heating of the amalgam reservoir 6 arranged in the vicinity of the electrode 5a.
- the temperature increase of the electrode 5 is noticeable above all because an approximately 10 times higher thermal power density prevails in the vicinity of the base point 14 than the arc 13 (FIG. FIG. 1) between the electrodes 5a, 5b.
- the controller 21 is set to compensate for each decrease in the nominal current to 100% of the nominal current by a corresponding increase in the heating current. This additional current ensures a maximum possible UV-C emission in dimmed operation.
