Definitions

  • This invention relates to water-cooled electric lamps of the mercury arc type. As shown by U. S. Patents Nos. 2,435,299 and 2,435,300 such lamps are used for providing a high-intensity light source for micro-projection purposes.
  • the life of a lamp of the above designated type is comparatively short and before the lamp fails completely the light intensity decreases substantially after a comparatively short period of use.
  • the decrease in the intensity of light emanating from the lamp is due to the deposit of a coating on the quartz tube in which the arc is formed.
  • the primary object of the present invention therefore is to prevent the deposit of a coating on the quartz tube of a water-cooled lamp of the above designated type and to increase the life of the lamp.
  • the lamp terminals are disposed within the water cooling jacket, being immersed in the water which flows through the jacket and around the quartz tube for cooling the latter.
  • the jacket tube has a constricted portion so that the conductivity of the water between the lamp terminals is suificiently iii low to enable both terminals to be immersed in i the cooling water.
  • Fig. 1 shows the lamp connected to a waterccoling system having provision for subjecting the cooling water in the system to the action of ion-exchange resins;
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
  • the lamp assembly may be the same as that shown by Fig. 5 of Patent No. 2,435,300.
  • Said assembly includes the quartz lamp tube I 0 disposed within a watercooling jacket l2 and mounted between terminals M and 6 positioned within jacket l2 and immersed in the cooling water which passes through said jacket.
  • the opposite ends of the jacket communicate with tubes l8 and 20, respectively, in a circulatory system which includes a water pump 22 and an air-cooled radiator 24 which in-- cludes a fan 26, as described in the above mentioned Patent No. 2,435,299, and also in the application of Edwin C.
  • a receptacle 28 contains a bed constituted of a mixture of anion exchange resins and cation exchange resins in which preferably the anion exchange resins predominate.
  • This receptacle 28 is in the circulatory system through which the cooling water flows. It comprises a body portion 30 having removable end caps 32 and 34 provided with pipe fittings 36 and 38, respectively, for connection with the water inlet tube 40 and the water outlet tube 42, which is connected to tube 20.
  • a screen 44 is removably disposed adjacent one end of receptacle 28 and a filter 46, preferably a porous metal member, is positioned at the outlet end of the receptacle 23 and is connected to fitting 38.
  • screen 44 and filter 46 confine the body of ion exchange resins to receptacle 28 and that the water is filtered as it passes through filter 46, so that substantially none of the ion exchange resins flow with the circulating cooling water stream into and through the outlet tube 42.
  • the ion exchange resins are in the granular form readily available commercially, for example, those sold by the Rohm 8.: Haas Company under its trade-mark Amberlite or those sold by American Cyanamid Company under its trademark Ionac.
  • Examples of cation exchange resins are (a) the condensation products proucked by condensing a methylene body and a polyhydric phenolic body, e.
  • resins produced by reacting amines with aldehydes such, for example, as the melamine-formaldehydeguanidine resins, phenol formaldehyde polyamine resins and acetone-formaldehyde-polyamine resins (Ionac A 300).
  • the preferred mixture is made by mixing Amberlite IRA-400 with Amberlite ICE-120. While the proportions of the anion exchange resin and cation exchange resin may vary, the preferred mixture consists of 6 parts of anion exchange resin and 4 parts of cation exchange resin. This mixture has been found to give excellent results with the lamp and cooling system hereinbefore referred to using city water in the cooling system. As are well known and commerciall available products, as hereinabove pointed out, further description thereof considered unnecessary.
  • receptacle 28 As used in the cooling system of the light projector now being manufactured and constructed according to United States Patent 2,435,300 and application Serial No. 693,292, four gallons of water per minute are pumped through the jacket 12 of the lamp in order to properly cool the lamp. For this rate of flow of water through said jacket and hence through receptacle 28,. a total volume of about 110 cc. of the ion exchange resins in said receptacle has been found to give excellent results, but it will be understood that the invention is not limited to this quantity of resins. preferably, receptacle 28 is mounted in horizontal position and its internal volume is about one third greater than said volume of the resins in the wet activated state of the latter in which said resins may be obtained from the manufacturer or other source of supply ready for use.
  • the water circulatory system is a closed system, except for water which may be added from time to time to the radiator or storage tank 24 make up for losses, so that subthe anion and cation exchange resins Preferstantially the same water is circulated continuously by pump 22 through the cooling jacket I2 and the other passages of the system.
  • the water is at all times subjected to treatment by the ion-exchange material in receptacle, 1. e., at all times during the operation of the. lamp.
  • the apparatus as actually made and sold, is provided with a flow-controlled switch (not shown) so that the lamp it] cannot be energized unless pump 22 is in operation and water flows through lamp jacket 12.
  • Cooling arrangement for high intensity mercury arc lamps mounted in a jacket through which the cooling liquid passes, said lamps having terminal electrodes exposed to said liquid; comprising a closed circulatory system in which distilled water flows as the cooling liquid, said system including a storage tank for said water, said jacket, pump means for forcibly circulating said water and a container having therein an ion exchanger substance for preventing a build-up of metallic ions and thereby the formation of light absorbing deposits upon said lamp.
  • Cooling arrangement for high intensity mercury arc lamps mounted in a jacket through which the cooling liquid passes, said lamps having terminal electrodes exposed to said liquid; comprising a closed circulatory system in which water flows as the cooling liquid, said system including a storage tank for said water, said jacket, pump means for forcibly circulating said water and a container having therein an ion exchanger substance for preventing a build-up of metallic ions in said circulating water and thereby the formation of light absorbing deposits upon said lamp.
