Definitions

  • the invention relates to a high-pressure discharge lamp comprising a ceramic discharge vessel which encloses a discharge space which is provided with an ionizable filling comprising metal halide and in which a first and a second electrode are arranged, which discharge vessel comprises, on either side of a central zone extending between the electrodes, an end zone called respectively a first and a second end zone, which are connected to the central zone, which first respectively second end zone surrounds with little clearance a current supply conductor connected to a respective electrode, and in which first respectively second end zone a seal of ceramic sealing compound is provided through which the respective current supply conductor issues to the exterior, in which lamp the first end zone is cylindrical and has an external diameter smaller than the smallest external diameter of the central zone and an internal diameter D and the current supply conductor through the first end zone has extending in the first end zone a halide-resistant section along the extension of the current supply conductor facing the respective electrode and a section along the extension of the current supply conductor which is permeable to hydrogen and oxygen remote from the respective
  • Such a lamp is known from US 4.409.517.
  • ceramic discharge vessel in the present description and claims is understood to mean a discharge vessel of a refractory material such as monocrystalline metal oxide, for example sapphire, polycrystalline metal oxide, for example translucent gastight aluminium oxide (DGA), yttrium-aluminium garnet (YAG) or yttrium oxide (YOX), or polycrystalline non-oxidic material such as aluminium nitride (AlN).
  • halide resistant means that no or substantially no corrosive attack by halides and free halogens takes place under the conditions prevailing in the discharge space during lamp operation.
  • the term “little clearance” means that the space remaining between the end zone and the current supply conductor issuing through it is at least 5 ⁇ m and at most one fourth of the internal diameter of the end zone, but not more than approximately 200 ⁇ m. So the diameter of the current supply conductor therein is at least equal to half the internal diameter of the end zone.
  • a metal bush forming a current supply conductor is passed through each of the end zones of the discharge vessel. The space remaining between the bush and the end zone is entirely filled with a ceramic sealing compound.
  • Niobium or tantalum is used as the material for the current supply conductor because these metals have coefficients of expansion, averaged over the temperature range which the end zone experiences after the lamp has been switched on from an idle state, which correspond substantially to those of the ceramic materials from which the discharge vessel is manufactured.
  • a disadvantage of the said metals is that they are not halide resistant. Accordingly, the current supply conductor issuing into the discharge vessel through the first end zone in the known lamp is provided with a cover of halide-resistant material such as molybdenum or tungsten at a portion situated inside the discharge space.
  • the current supply conductor through the second end zone is entirely made of niobium or tantalum in the known lamp. This is because these metals are highly permeable to hydrogen and oxygen. These gases can leave the discharge vessel through this current supply conductor.
  • EP 0 472 100 a lamp with a construction comparable to the known lamp is disclosed.
  • the disclosed lamp has a Nb-stylus as current supply conductor passing through the end zone of the discharge vessel, and connected to an electrode rod.
  • the Nb-stylus is covered with a W-coating of 2 to 5 ⁇ m thickness.
  • the lamp is for this purpose characterized in that the halide-resistant section along the extension of the current supply conductor extends inside the first end zone over a distance L1 which is at least the internal diameter D of the first end zone augmented by 2 mm, and in that the current supply conductor through the second end zone also has a halide-resistant section along the extension of the current supply conductor which faces towards the discharge space.
  • L1 which is at least the internal diameter D of the first end zone augmented by 2 mm
  • the current supply conductor through the second end zone also has a halide-resistant section along the extension of the current supply conductor which faces towards the discharge space.
  • the distance L1 is preferably not greater than approximately 30 mm. Since the halide-resistant section along the extension of the current supply conductor of the lamp according to the invention runs through the end zone over at least the distance L1 defined above and thereby transfers radiation heat to the surroundings, the permeable section along the extension of the current supply conductor has a comparatively low temperature compared with the temperatures prevailing inside the discharge space.
  • US 4.780.646 discloses a high-pressure discharge lamp whose discharge vessel is provided with a filling comprising metal halides.
  • the current supply conductor at an end zone of the discharge vessel has a halide-resistant section.
  • the end zone which has the same diameter as the central zone of the discharge vessel, has a complicated construction involving a niobium current conductor which is connected to a pin of an electrode via a disc which is also made of niobium, two ceramic discs, in recesses of which the niobium disc is accommodated, and a ceramic sleeve which surrounds the pin of the electrode.
  • a high-pressure discharge lamp is known from Netherlands Patent Application 8005026 laid open to public inspection in which the discharge vessel has a cylindrical end zone on either side of a central zone, the diameter of the end zone being comparatively small in relation to that of the central zone.
  • a current conductor of niobium, permeable to hydrogen and oxygen, is passed through each of the end zones into the discharge space, and is connected to an electrode pin of halide-resistant tungsten.
  • the electrode pin which has a diameter smaller than half the internal diameter of the end zone, does not extend to inside the end zone.
  • the permeable section of the current supply conductor is made, for example, of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, or tantalum, or an alloy of these elements.
  • niobium and/or tantalum is preferred because their average coefficients of expansion differ only slightly from those of the frequently used DGA. There is also only a slight difference with the average coefficients of expansion of yttrium oxide and yttrium-aluminium garnet.
  • aluminium nitride is used as the ceramic material, zirconium will be a favourable choice in this respect.
  • At least the surface of the halide-resistant section of the current supply conductor is preferably manufactured from a material which comprises at least one of the metals from the group formed by tungsten, molybdenum, platinum, iridium, rhenium and rhodium, and/or an electrically conducting silicide, carbide or nitride of at least one of these metals, for example, molybdenum disilicide.
  • the surface of the halide-resistant section preferably has a radiation absorption coefficient in excess of 0.2.
  • a comparatively high absorption coefficient promotes the transfer of radiation heat to the surroundings so that the permeable section has a comparatively low temperature, all other circumstances remaining equal.
  • An absorption coefficient in excess of 0.2 is realised in a simple manner, for example, in that the surface of the halide-resistant section is rendered rough and/or dull.
  • the surface of the halide-resistant section may be provided, for example, with a layer of a material having a high absorption coefficient.
  • the permeable section enters the first end zone to beyond the seal of ceramic sealing compound and adjoins the halide-resistant section at some distance from the seal.
  • an end of the permeable section of the current supply conductor facing towards the halide-resistant section is in contact with the discharge space via the space between the end zone and the halide-resistant section which passes through this zone, so that hydrogen and oxygen can leave the discharge space through the said end.
  • the second end zone of a lamp according to the invention may be comparatively short and may be provided with a tungsten or molybdenum rod which forms both the current supply conductor and the electrode.
  • the second end zone may have a construction which corresponds to that of the first end zone.
  • the halide-resistant section of the current supply conductor extends to inside the seal of ceramic sealing compound.
  • the permeable section of the current supply conductor is completely screened off from the filling comprising the metal halide in the finished lamp. Given the same external dimensions of the first end zone, higher temperatures thereof can be permitted compared with the construction in which an end of the permeable section is in contact with the discharge space. Although in this construction the permeable section of the current supply conductor is entirely covered with ceramic sealing compound in the first end zone, it is nevertheless possible to remove water, hydrogen and oxygen from the discharge vessel during lamp manufacture.
  • an assembly comprising an electrode and a current supply conductor having a permeable section and a halide-resistant section is inserted in the first end zone and so fixed with ceramic sealing compound that an end of the permeable section of the current supply conductor adjoining the halide-resistant section is still uncovered.
  • the lamp is operated for a few minutes, whereby water vapour dissociates in the discharge arc and hydrogen and oxygen leave the discharge vessel through the said end.
  • the lamp may be, for example, heated in a furnace as an alternative. The water vapour generated thereby then dissociates at the surface of the permeable section.
  • US 3.363.133 discloses a high-pressure discharge lamp with a discharge vessel provided with a filling comprising metal halide.
  • the discharge vessel has end zones of the same external diameter as the central zone, current supply conductors being passed through said end zones and comprising a niobium conductor and an electrode pin of halide-resistant material connected to this conductor.
  • the halide-resistant electrode pin extends to inside a seal of ceramic sealing compound.
  • the construction hampers the removal of hydrogen and oxygen from the discharge vessel.
  • the seal of ceramic sealing compound prevents transport of hydrogen and oxygen to the permeable section of the assembly in the finished lamp. Since it is practically impossible to provide the seals of ceramic sealing compound at the inside of the discharge vessel after the discharge vessel has been closed, it is also very difficult to remove hydrogen and oxygen from the discharge vessel during the manufacture of this lamp without a concomitant loss of desired filling ingredients.
  • the permeable section extends preferably within the first end zone over a distance L2 which is at least three times the internal diameter D of the first end zone.
  • the halide-resistant section is a solid rod of halide-resistant material.
  • the current supply conductor may be manufactured by techniques which are known for connecting, for example, a niobium current supply conductor to a tungsten electrode.
  • the electrode and the halide-resistant section of the current supply conductor may be jointly formed, for example, by a tungsten rod.
  • the halide-resistant section of the current supply conductor is surrounded by a sleeve which comprises platinum, rhodium, and/or iridium.
  • the current supply conductor with the sleeve can be enclosed in the first end zone with close fit also when the halide-resistant section extends to inside the seal of ceramic sealing compound and/or when a comparatively great difference between the average coefficients of expansion of the material of the discharge vessel and that of the halide-resistant section exists, because platinum, rhodium and iridium are elastic materials.
  • a close fit i.e.
  • the halide-resistant section of the current supply conductor has a comparatively narrow end adjoining the permeable section and a comparatively wide end facing the central zone of the discharge vessel.
  • a practical implementation of this modification is characterized in that the ceramic sealing compound extends up to the comparatively wide end.
  • the surface of the ceramic sealing compound facing the discharge space is substantially covered by the comparatively wide section as a result, so that a still better screening thereof is obtained.
  • the halide-resistant section is a hollow rod.
  • a rod can be enclosed with close fit in the first end zone also when a material is used whose avenge coefficient of expansion differs comparatively strongly from that of the ceramic sealing compound and that of the first end zone.
  • This embodiment has the additional advantage that the rod, compared with a solid rod of the same dimensions, has the same surface area available for heat radiation, but conducts less heat towards the permeable section. As a result, this construction renders possible a lower temperature of the permeable section without an increase in the length of the end zone.
  • a favourable embodiment of the lamp according to the invention is characterized in that the current supply conductor comprises a rod of permeable material, while the halide-resistant section is formed by a narrowed section of the rod and a cover of halide-resistant material which is passed over the narrowed section.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the permeable section and the halide-resistant section of the current supply conductor can be readily interconnected.
  • the current supply conductor comprises a rod of permeable material, while the halide-resistant section is formed by a section of the rod which is provided with a layer of halide-resistant material.
  • the current supply conductor is formed, for example, from a niobium rod, and an end section thereof is provided with a tungsten layer of a thickness of, for example, a few up to a few tens of micrometers.
  • a heat treatment is preferably carried out by which the material of the layer penetrates somewhat into the niobium and a very good adhesion of the tungsten layer to the niobium rod is obtained.
  • the heat treatment comprises, for example, heating of the rod for a few hours at a temperature of 2200 K.
  • the halide-resistant section of the current supply conductor is a porous body.
  • Mechanical stresses in the first end zone remain limited also when the porous body is made of a material having an average coefficient of expansion which deviates strongly from that of the first end zone and when this body is passed through the first end zone with close fit.
  • the porous body has a rough surface, which promotes the radiation of heat to the surroundings.
  • cross-sections of the body have a comparatively small surface area compared with that of a solid rod of the same external dimensions. Both factors render possible a comparatively low temperature of the permeable section given certain defined external dimensions.
  • a further attractive embodiment of the lamp according to the invention is characterized in that the halide-resistant section is manufactured from a cermet of preferably at least 10% by volume of a halide-resistant ceramic material such as MgO, Al 2 O 3 , Sc 2 O 2 , Y 2 O 3 with one or several halide-resistant conductive materials, for example, with tungsten or with molybdenum disilicide.
  • a halide-resistant ceramic material such as MgO, Al 2 O 3 , Sc 2 O 2 , Y 2 O 3 with one or several halide-resistant conductive materials, for example, with tungsten or with molybdenum disilicide.
  • the cermet has a comparatively low heat conductivity because of the presence of the ceramic material therein. This renders it possible to realise a comparatively low temperature of the permeable section with a comparatively small length of the halide-resistant section.
  • a concentration below 80% by volume of the ceramic material randomly distributed particles of the electrically conducting material in the cermet will form together an electrically conducting path.
  • the concentration of the ceramic material in the cermet is smaller than 50 vol%. The cermet then has a sufficiently low electrical resistance under all circumstances.
  • a yet further attractive embodiment of the high-pressure discharge lamp according to the invention is characterized in that the halide-resistant section is surrounded by a winding of a wire which comprises at least one of the metals tungsten, molybdenum, platinum, iridium, rhenium and rhodium.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the space left open in the end zone can be small without this leading to mechanical stresses with temperature fluctuations.
  • a small open space has the advantage that it can hold few fill ingredients. The reproducibility of the lamp behaviour is increased by this.
  • the winding is manufactured from a wire having a diameter of between one fourth and half the diameter of the halide-resistant section surrounded thereby.
  • the wire is then on the one hand thick enough for readily avoiding its fracture during manufacture, and on the other hand not so thick that special measures are necessary for coiling it around the halide-resistant section.
  • the first end zone is sintered directly, for example, into an end of the central zone.
  • a favourable embodiment is characterized in that an end of a tube forming the first end zone facing towards the central zone is fixed in a ceramic ring which is fastened in a respective end of the tube forming the central zone.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that little heat is necessary for forming the seal of ceramic sealing compound during manufacture. Special measures for preventing filling ingredients from evaporating during this are then unnecessary.
  • a similar construction may be used, for example, at the second end zone.
  • the high-pressure discharge lamp shown in Fig. 1 comprises a ceramic discharge vessel 10 made of DGA material which encloses a discharge space 11 and is provided with an ionizable filling comprising metal halides.
  • the filling comprises 1 mg mercury and 3 mg of the metal halides sodium iodide, thallium iodide and dysprosium iodide in a weight ratio of 69:10:21.
  • the filling also comprises argon and a starting gas.
  • the spectrum of the lamp shows lines at 589 nm and 535 nm which result from the respective first two metal halide components, and in addition exhibits a multitude of lines generated by the third metal halide component.
  • dysprosium iodide for example, a halide of a different rare earth such as scandium iodide, yttrium iodide, holmium iodide or thulium iodide may be used.
