How UV is Produced • Medium pressure Mercury Arc lamp (up to 240W/cm) emits UV light. • Lamp power = 36kW (180cm × 200W/cm). Confidential
Molybdenum Foil Tungsten Electrode Quartz Lamp Construction • Quartz envelope transparent to UV. • Withstands high operatiing temperature. • Low coefficient of expansion. Confidential
Gas Electrons Mercury UV Lamp “Striking” • Ionization of Gas fill • Arc formed • Mercury vaporized to form plasma • UV photon emission Confidential
UV Lamp cooling • Quartz temperature between 600°C & 800°C • Foil seal temperature below 250°C • Below 600°C:C = mercury condensation. • Above 800°C:C = quartz distortion & diversification • Cooling flow to match lamp power Confidential
Quartz Body Electrode Molybdenum Foil UV Lamp cooling (Cont.) Confidential
Characteristics of UV Lamps • ~ 25% UV light • ~ 20% Visible light • ~ 55% Infra-red (heat) Confidential
