Definitions

  • the invention relates to a high-power radiator with a discharge space, which is at least bounded on one side by a dielectric, which is filled with a gas which emits radiation under discharge conditions, and a power supply device for supplying the discharge.
  • the increasing use of high-performance emitters for exposure, coating and drying processes requires powerful, yet economical power supplies for feeding the discharge.
  • the previous power supply facilities used those that have long been known to ozone generators. Apart from the ozonizers operated at mains frequency, these consist of a converter with controllable frequency, amplitude and / or curve shape of the converter output voltage and a complex high-voltage transformer at the converter output. It has the task of raising the output voltage of the converter, which is at most a few kV, to values that are sufficient to keep the discharge going or to ignite it in the first place.
  • the power supply devices of high power radiators place similar demands on the frequency and amplitude of the voltage supplying the discharge, the operating frequency can be much higher than with an ozonizer. Examples of such radiators can be found in EP-A-0254 111 ... However, the voltage level can be lower, but is regularly above the values (typically around 5 kVolt) that a technically and economically designed converter can deliver able.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a high-power radiator with a power supply device which does not require a complex converter and without a high-voltage transformer.
  • the radiator is connected directly to the converter output with the interposition of an inductor, and this inductance is dimensioned such that it forms a series resonant circuit together with the radiator, which essentially represents a capacitive load, which approximately corresponds to its resonant frequency is coordinated so that a voltage increase of at least 5 occurs at the electrodes of the radiator.
  • the radiator represents by connecting an additional capacitance in parallel.
  • This additional capacity which in principle only the capacity of the extinguished radiator is increased and at the same time serves as an energy store for the ignition phase of the radiator.
  • the frequency of the feeding current or the series inductance could also be changed after the emitter has been ignited.
  • a UV high-power radiator is generally designated by the reference number 1 and the associated power supply device by 2.
  • This power supply device hereinafter generally referred to as "converter”
  • the radiator 1 essentially consists of a closed discharge space 3 which is filled with a gas or gas mixture which emits UV radiation under discharge conditions. Examples of such filling gases are listed in the patent document mentioned at the beginning.
  • the discharge space 3 is delimited on both sides by UV-permeable dielectrics 4 and 5, for example made of quartz glass, to which outer, UV-transparent electrodes 6 and 7 are applied.
  • the electrode 7 is direct, the electrode 6 is connected via an inductor 8 to the two connections of the converter 2.
  • An additional capacitance 9 can be connected in parallel to the radiator 1.
  • FIG. 2 and 3 illustrate the influence of the frequency on the voltage increase (Fig. 2) or the power factor (Fig. 3) for a radiator that was fed from a frequency generator with a downstream power amplifier with a voltage of 130 V eff and had a discharge gap of 3 mm and quartz dielectrics 4 and 5, each 1.5 mm thick, with a dielectric constant of 3.7.
  • Curves A represent the theoretical course
  • curves B the measured course.
