Definitions
- Incandescent lamp with a luminous body which contains a sharktempera ⁇ turbe constant compound
- the invention is based on an incandescent lamp with a luminous body which contains a highly temperature-resistant metal compound, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- incandescent lamps with a carbide-containing luminous body in particular the invention relates to halogen incandescent lamps which are ei - Have a luminous body of TaC, or the luminous body contains TaC as Bestand ⁇ part or coating.
- a common method of solving the problem of preventing vaporization of filament material is by using circular processes.
- the filling gas a further chemical substance is added, which reacts in colder areas with the evaporated material to a relatively volatile compound, which does not deposit on the bulb wall.
- This compound is transported in the direction of the concentration gradient, namely high concentration near the bulb wall, low concentration near the filament, in the direction of the luminous body.
- the material of the filament is again attached to this.
- the evaporating from the tungsten filament connects at lower temperatures near the bulb wall to form tungsten halides which are volatile at temperatures above about 200 0 C and is not deposited on the benwand Kol ⁇ .
- tungsten halides which are volatile at temperatures above about 200 0 C and is not deposited on the benwand Kol ⁇ .
- the tungsten halide compounds are transported back by diffusion and possibly also convection to the hot filament, where they decompose.
- the freed tungsten is again attached to the filament.
- the tungsten i.allg. not transported back to the same place from which it has evaporated but deposited at a location of different temperature, ie the cycle is not regenerative. An exception is the fluorine cycle.
- the gaseous carbon formed upon decomposition of the TaC is transported in the direction of the piston wall, where it reacts with hydrogen to form hydrocarbons such as methane. These hydrocarbons are transported back to the hot filament, where they decompose again. The carbon is released again and can attach to the filament. However, the hydrocarbons already decompose below 1000 K at low temperatures, so that the recycling of carbon does not take place in a targeted manner to the hottest points of the luminous element.
- the evaporation from the luminous body is relatively strong and the compound carrying the cyclic process is stable only at very low temperatures, such as the hydrocarbons in the last example, the luminous body will be rapidly destroyed, because it will rapidly adhere to the evaporating material such as carbon in the last example depleted.
- the carbon is relatively quickly from the hei ⁇ ßesten points of the filament to the colder places of the filament or the outlets transported to the luminous body, which can also cause problems, for example by Windungs gleich. Only a very small proportion of the transported back carbon reaches the hottest point of the helix (very low degree of regeneration).
- the back reaction of the carbon with the hydrogen to hydrocarbons proceeds in any case only with a relatively large excess of hydrogen sufficiently fast, so that a blackening of the piston is avoided.
- WO-A 03/075315 describes the generation of the luminous element from a depot. From the depot continuously evaporates a chemical substance, which supplies the luminous body that substance to which it is depleted again. For example, it describes how a TaC luminous body is regenerated from a polymer impregnated with an organic compound (eg acetone). In the process, the gas phase is permanently supplied with a chemical compound, which also contains carbon. In this case, carbon is provided continuously, which can replace the evaporated by the filament carbon again.
- the disadvantage here is that the composition of the gas phase and also of the luminous element changes continuously due to the permanently supplied chemical compound; a lamp operation under stable conditions is hardly possible.
- the concentration of carbon in the gas phase is constantly increased, which eventually leads to the deposition of carbon in inappropriate places such as the ends of the luminous body or finally the bulb wall.
- An enrichment of carbon in the luminous body is not desirable because it changes the properties of the filament continuously.
- An enrichment of hydrogen in the gas phase leads by increasing the heat conduction to an increasing cooling of the filament.
- an incandescent lamp with a luminous body which contains a high-temperature-resistant metal compound, and in particular a carbide-containing luminous body, or a metal, according to the preamble of
- high temperature resistant metal compound means compounds whose melting point is near the melting point of tungsten, sometimes even higher.
- the material of the luminous body is preferably TaC or Ta 2 C.
- carbides of Hf, Nb or Zr and, moreover, alloys of these carbides are suitable.
- nitrides or borides of such metals Common to these compounds is the property that a luminous body made of this material becomes depleted in operation on at least one element.
- the principle described below is equally applicable to filaments of metals.
- metal compound used below is therefore not to be understood as limiting, but by way of example. The statements made therein are analogously applicable to metals.
- a luminous element is operated at high temperatures, depending on the nature of the material of the luminous element, the material or components of the material evaporate.
- the evaporated material or its constituents are replaced by e.g. Convection, diffusion or thermal diffusion removed and deposit elsewhere in the lamp, e.g. on the piston wall or frame parts.
- the light-emitting body is destroyed. Due to the material which separates on the bulb wall, the transmission of the light is greatly reduced.
- the task consists in minimizing or reversing evaporation by means of suitable measures.
- the concentration of the evaporating component is adjusted from the outside that in the ideal case evaporation and sublimation keep the equilibrium and the filament is thus neither depleted nor enriched in the component in question.
- the adjustment of the required concentration over the luminous element is to be realized by a continuous transport of a substance containing the component in question from a source into a sink. Due to the continuous deposition of the material supplied from the source, a change in the composition of the gas phase is avoided and an operation of the luminous element under constant conditions is made possible.
- a lamp with TaC filament be ⁇ the source of a solid, or liquid, hydrocarbon, which is introduced into the lamp so that above the source Mate ⁇ rial builds up a certain vapor pressure of gaseous hydrocarbon.
- This hydrocarbon is transported by diffusion or convection into the inside of the lamella, where it decomposes near the luminescent body at higher temperatures.
- the luminous body is thus in a carbon-enriched atmosphere; a decomposition of the filament is thereby prevented.
- the luminous body does not emit carbon to the environment, nor is carbon enriched in it. In other words, the luminous body has an equilibrium between carbon deposition and carbon evaporation. At lower temperatures near the bulb wall, the carbon reacts again Back to hydrogen hydrocarbons.
- the hydrocarbon decomposes with the deposition of solid carbon (soot).
- This process corresponds approximately to the cracking of hydrocarbons known from industrial chemistry on suitable catalysts, in which case the deposition of carbon on the catalyst is desired, in contrast to the reaction regime in plants of the chemical industry.
- carbon continuously exits from one source and is re-deposited in a sink.
- the filament of the lamp is thus neither enriched in carbon, nor depleted of carbon;
- the carbon concentration in the gas phase is kept constant.
- the hydrogen can preferably be used analogously.
- the permeable quartz piston wall acts at high temperatures. At lower temperatures, the resulting hydrogen can be trapped by iodine (reaction to hydrogen iodide);
- the resulting hydrogen iodide is not critical in terms of its effect on the maintenance of the lamp, because it does not interfere with the chemistry of the metal carbide nor changes the physical properties of the filling gas (in particular the thermal conductivity).
- Another way of attaching the released hydrogen i.e., a sink to hydrogen
- metals such as e.g. Zirconium or hafnium or niobium or tantalum, which "getter" hydrogen at suitable temperatures.
- the transport processes described in the last paragraphs can still be superimposed by one or more cycle processes. If, for example, carbon in a lamp with a luminous body of TaC is constantly transported from a source to a sink, in some cases in the form of hydrocarbons, then a tantalum-halogen cyclic process can be superimposed on this transport process by adding a halogen-containing compound which prevents the tantalum evaporated by the luminous body from depositing on the bulb wall and at least partially transports it back to the luminous body, as described, for example, in the still unpublished application DE-A-103 56 651.1. These are expressly referred to.
- a TaC lamp to superimpose a carbon cycle process on the described permanent transport of carbon from a source into a sink, for example a CH, C-halogen, CS or CN cycle process as in the application DE-Az 103 56 651.1 described be ⁇ .
- the sinking metals may be e.g. in the form of wires or plates welded to the frame or the power supply, or wound as a coating coil directly around the power supply, or e.g. in the form of wires to be squeezed directly.
- catalytically active metals it is essential that the surface of these metals be sufficiently large, since the surface is continuously covered with carbon ("poisoning" of the catalyst) in order to obtain the effectiveness of the catalyst the coating of helical outlets or power supply lines with metals serving as drain is a further embodiment.
- elemental carbon is used as the source of carbon.
- This can be present, for example, in the form of carbon pressings, graphite fibers or carbon black deposited on a substrate, diamine in the form of DLC or graphite.
- the carbon is held at a "middle" temperature, which must be just so high that the resulting vapor pressure of the carbon at the location of the hot luminous body leads to a carbon partial pressure which is approximately equal to the carbon Equilibrium vapor pressure over the tantalum carbide corresponds.
- the carbon If the carbon reaches the piston wall in colder regions, it reacts with hydrogen or else with halogens to form (optionally halogenated) hydrocarbons; This prevents the deposition of the carbon on the piston wall.
- the decomposition of the hydrocarbon then takes place on a catalyst, in which case the carbon deposits on the surface of the catalyst and the hydrogen is liberated again.
- there is no need for a sink for the hydrogen or, if appropriate, the halogen which in fact only prevent the deposition of the carbon on the piston wall and transport the carbon bound in the form of hydrocarbon to the catalyst.
- the hydrogen or optionally the halogen thus serves only as a means of transport to transport the carbon and is not consumed.
- carbon is transported from the carbon source (carbon compact, graphite fibers, diamond such as DLC, graphite layers, carbon black, etc.) to the carbon sink (for example wire made of nickel, iron, molybdenum), where it settles which separates.
- carbon source carbon compact, graphite fibers, diamond such as DLC, graphite layers, carbon black, etc.
- the carbon sink for example wire made of nickel, iron, molybdenum
- the carbon is deposited on single turns of the metal carbide filament designed as a helix.
- the carbon deposition takes place on the outer turns of the coil at lower temperatures than in the middle of the filament. Since the vapor pressure over pure carbon is greater than the carbon vapor pressure over tantalum carbide, the source of pure carbon is attached at lower temperatures than in the hot helical center. This is intended to set the carbon equilibrium vapor pressure above the middle of the hot filament as far as possible and to ensure that no gradient of the carbon partial pressure driving the carbon transport is produced via the filament.
- the last-mentioned procedure is also of use for circumventing problems with regard to the relatively low impact strength of the tantalum carbide during transport of the lamps to the customer.
- One option for circumventing this problem is to complete the carburization only after the lamps have been transported to the customer during the firing process, and initially to leave at least one tantalum core in the luminous body made of TaC.
- the hydrogen can be replaced by the hydrogen Use of iodine near the bulb wall again as iodine hydrogen ab ⁇ catch and stabilized.
- Another way to realize a carbon source is to use a tantalum carbide coated carbon fiber.
- the carbon diffuses through the tantalum carbide layer; a depletion of the tantalum carbide layer of carbon is thus avoided.
- the carbon released thereby into the gas space leads to a rapid blackening of the piston wall if no countermeasures are taken.
- blackening of the bulb can be prevented if the bulb temperatures are not too high.
- very large amounts of hydrogen are needed to "trap" the carbon as completely as possible before it is deposited on the bulb wall, which can be avoided by holding the hydrocarbon at a catalyst maintained at a suitable temperature, eg a nickel wire. Iron, etc.
- the carbon deposits on the nickel wire, while the hydrogen is released again and is available for reaction with further carbon, so that the hydrogen merely serves as a "vehicle” for transporting carbon from the luminous body by formation Catch of hydrocarbon and to carbon sink (eg wire nickel, molybdenum, ...) to transport.
- the hydrogen merely serves as a "vehicle” for transporting carbon from the luminous body by formation Catch of hydrocarbon and to carbon sink (eg wire nickel, molybdenum, ...) to transport.
- no hydrogen is consumed in this transport mechanism, ie it is possible with a relatively small amount of hydrogen.
- a luminous element eg consists of a metal carbide such as tantalum carbide or hafnium carbide
- a layer of carbon is deposited on the surface of the filament of metal carbide.
- a layer of a metal carbide is then applied again. If carbon from the outer metal carbide layer evaporates during lamp operation, then carbon immediately diffuses from the inside of the enclosed carbon layer and prevents the outer metal carbide layer from becoming poor in carbon.
- the functioning of those of a metal carbide-coated carbon fiber is quite similar.
- the application of the carbon coating takes place, for example, according to a CVD method in the column lamp, for example by decomposition of Me ⁇ than (1 bar pressure) at a temperature of about 2,500 K on the luminous body.
- the deposition of the metal carbide outer layer is carried out in the CVD process, for example, by simultaneous thermal decomposition of metal halides such as tantalum halide and methane; Of course, it is also possible to use other metal compounds or hydrocarbons as precursor.
- the metal carbide can then be deposited directly on the surface of the luminous body, eg according to TaCl 5 + CH 4 + x H 2 -> TaC + 5 HCl + (x - V 2 ) H 2 .
- the hydrogen serves to avoid precipitation of soot. It is also possible to deposit only the metal on the carbon surface of the luminous element and then bring it to reaction (ie carburization) in an atmosphere containing, for example, methane, carburizing from the outer carbon-containing atmosphere and from the inside from the carbon layer starts.
- a disadvantage of this method is that the change in volume occurring during the conversion of the metal into metal carbide causes relatively high layer stresses. Therefore, a simultaneous deposition of the metal and the carbon in the stoichiometric ratio is advantageous.
- the materials of the inner material (e.g., wire) of metal carbide and the outer layer of metal carbide need not necessarily be identical.
- the inner wire may be tantalum carbide
- the outer layer applied to the carbon layer may be hafnium carbide or HfC-4TaC alloy.
- HfC or the alloy HfC-4TaC has lower vapor pressures than pure tantalum carbide.
- hafnium is significantly more expensive than tantalum, the amount of hafnium used can be significantly reduced in this way.
- sintered carbonaceous materials are contemplated, e.g. in US 3,405,328.
- metal carbides such as those produced by sintering processes at high temperatures and high pressures in autoclaves, are used. Tantalum carbide can be made with dissolved carbon forth. These materials, which are intended to serve as the filament material, then contain significantly more carbon than can be expected according to the stoichiometry of the TaC.
- the patent also describes the use of mixtures of various carbides in order to increase the impact strength of the filament.
- carbon sinks include metals such as WoFram, tantalum, zirconium, etc., which form carbides at suitable temperatures.
- the operating temperature of these metals depends in particular on the flow of carbon coming from the luminous element; are common in the region between 1800 and 2500 0 C 0 C.
- hydrogen is employed in the use of these metals temperatures to the carbon cloth to prevent them from depositing on the bulb wall and to the carbon transport material sink. If the hydrogen were to be dispensed with, carbon transported by the luminous body would precipitate on the bulb wall if it does not accidentally strike the carbide-forming metal on its way from the luminous body. With additional use of hydrogen, the carbon first reacts with the hydrogen to form a hydrocarbon, such as methane, which then decomposes back to the carbide-forming metal to transfer the carbon to the carbide-forming metal and release the hydrogen.
- a hydrocarbon such as methane
- catalysts for the decomposition of hydrocarbons are aluminum, molybdenum or magnesium silicates.
- tantalum carbide or other carbides. If, for example, a rod of tantalum carbide, which is not flowed through by the current, is brought to a temperature corresponding to the luminous body, the appropriate equilibrium vapor pressure on carbon occurs above the tantalum carbide, in which vaporization or deposition of carbon no longer takes place on the luminous body , This can be achieved, for example, by introducing a bar of tantalum carbide inside the axis of a spiral of tantalum carbide (analogous to a coil with internal feedback, as used for IRC lamps, but with the metal carbide lamps The winding of the current-carrying TaC wire coil must not touch the non-live rod made of TaC in order to avoid a short-circuit.
- the rod must be at virtually the same temperature as the adjacent turns. In no case may it be significantly colder than the adjacent windings, ie the heat dissipation along the rod must be limited, for example by selecting a sufficiently small diameter.
- an equilibrium vapor pressure of carbon is established above the rod.
- the carbon becomes in the radially outward concentration gradient at the current carrying TaC Wendeln transported over to the piston wall.
- the individual turns of the TaC helix are therefore in a constant flow of carbon, the carbon partial pressure corresponding to the equilibrium pressure across the vanes.
- the carbon transported to the outside reacts again near the piston wall with hydrogen to form hydrocarbons, which then decompose on a suitable catalyst as described above while separating carbon and releasing hydrogen.
- the advantage of using a TaC rod on the helix axis, the temperature profile of which as closely as possible corresponds to that of the helix, is that then the carbon equilibrium pressures, which prevent decomposition of the luminous body, are automatically adjusted at the individual windings of the TaC helix.
- carbon and fluorine-containing polymers can be used, as obtained, for example, in the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene C 2 F 4. disposal (eg polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE 1 brand name "Teflon" from the company. DUPONT).
- disposal eg polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE 1 brand name "Teflon” from the company. DUPONT.
- Gas ⁇ phase compounds such as CF 4, C 2 F 4, etc.
- the advantage here is that the carbon is released particularly or practically exclusively at points of high temperature, so that the carbon is transported in a targeted manner to sites of high luminous body temperature
- relatively low fluxes of carbon or relatively low partial pressures of gaseous CF compounds are used, and the liberated fluorine reacts on the wall to form gaseous SiF 4 , which then barely intervenes in the reaction process and does not react like hydrogen. because of increased heat conduction negative impact on the effi ⁇ ciency of the lamp kt.
- the carbon released can again - unless it is consumed in the wall reaction with CO formation - first bound by means of a transport partner such as chlorine in colder areas and then decomposed on a hot metal wire, the carbon is deposited again and the chlorine is released (carbon sink). Since two F atoms release an O atom in the wall reaction and a C atom in polytetrafluoroethylene in about two F atoms, the carbon is largely converted into CO by the oxygen released in the wall reaction.
- a transport partner such as chlorine in colder areas and then decomposed on a hot metal wire
- the present invention is particularly suitable for low-voltage lamps with a voltage of at most 50 V, because the necessary light body can be made relatively solid and for the wires preferably a diameter between 50 microns and 300 microns, especially at most 150 microns for general lighting purposes with maximum Power of 100 W, exhibit. Thick wires up to 300 ⁇ m are used in particular for photo-optical applications up to a power of 1000 W.
- the invention is particularly preferably used for lamps squeezed on one side, since here the luminous element can be kept relatively short, which also reduces the susceptibility to breakage. But the application to double-sided squeezed lamps and lamps for mains voltage operation is possible.
- the term rod as used herein means a means formed as a solid rod or, in particular, a thin wire.
- the described concept can be applied in a variety of ways to special chemical transport systems. In a specific embodiment, it is used for a design of a carbon-sulfur cycle. As described in DE Az 10358262.2 CS decomposes only at temperatures well above 3000 K, the degree of dissociation of CS increases strongly with increasing temperature.
- the CS cycle is suitable for transporting the carbon back to the hottest point along the helix, thus slowing down or preventing the formation of "hot spots.”
- the carbon transporting in the high-temperature range CS at temperatures below about 2200 K dispropor ⁇ tioned according to 2 CS -> CS 2 + C, wherein carbon is deposited on the frame or at the Wen ⁇ delab Spotifyn.
- CS 2 by diffusion or by When the flow is transported back to places of higher temperature, it decomposes into CS and sulfur at T> 2200 K.
- the sulfur acts as a decarburizing agent on the metal carbide luminous element, and it is therefore advantageous to have the luminous body or its outlets in the range above 2200
- the sulfur atoms liberated in this temperature range then react with the carbon f to CS, decarburization of the metal carbide filament is avoided. Over the life of this carbon coating is slowly consumed.
- carbon is liberated and deposited at lower temperatures below about 2200 K during the disproportionation of the CS.
- the CS system transports the carbon from places of higher temperature with T> 2200K to places of lower temperature with T ⁇ 2200 K. Without the reservoir of carbon for T> 2200 K (source) or the deposition of carbon at T ⁇ 2200 K (sink), it is difficult to achieve stationary operating conditions.
- the regenerative effect of the fluorine cycle process is based on the fact that tungsten fluorides decompose only at temperatures above approximately 2500 K, with the tungsten preferably being redeposited at the hottest points.
- a major difficulty in using fluorine is that fluorine reacts on the bulb wall to form silicium tetrafluoride SiF 4 , with additional oxygen being released. The fluorine bound in the SiF 4 is no longer available for further reaction in the halogen cycle. Therefore, several possibilities for passivation of the piston wall are mentioned in the literature, cf. eg Schröder, PHILIPS Techn. Rundschau 1963/64, p. 359 on the use of Al 2 O 3 . Another possibility arises when using the concept discussed here.
- High molecular compounds of carbon and fluorine such as polytetrafluoroethylene, are used as fluorine source for this purpose. These compounds decompose slowly at higher temperatures, forming low molecular weight carbon and fluorine containing species in the gas phase. The liberated fluorine reacts on tungsten surfaces in the temperature range between about 1600K and 2400K to form tungsten fluorides. Frame parts or filament outlets made of tungsten present at appropriate temperatures are therefore preferably made thickened in order to be able to provide sufficiently large WoIfram for the cyclic process. The tungsten fluorides thus formed are transported to higher temperature sites where they preferentially decompose at higher temperature sites. Thus, tungsten is deliberately transported back to the hottest places of the filament.
- the tungsten fluorides formed at the tungsten reservoir do not become convective or diffuse completely transported in the direction of the luminous element or not fully implemented there; a part is transported in the direction of the piston wall. There, the tungsten fluorides decompose at least in part, releasing fluorine, which reacts with the wall in the manner described, and tungsten. In order to avoid blackening of the lamp bulb, the simultaneous use of bromine is recommended. As a result, tungsten (oxy) bromides can be formed and the bulb wall is kept clean.
- the tungsten oxybromides decompose at temperatures far below those of the filament. That is, the tungsten bound in them is mainly deposited on the frame or the spiral outlets. This superimposed W-Br (-O) cycle process is thus not regenerative, it only serves to keep the lamp bulb clear.
- the basic principle described here - the continuous transport of a substance from a source into a sink - can also be applied to the means of transport, which is used to keep the piston clear and to return material to the filament.
- the situation may arise that either the transport agent is continuously removed by reaction or absorption with parts of the frame or the piston wall of the gas phase (sink), or that it is continuously introduced by desorption or chemical reaction in the gas phase (source).
- the transport agent is continuously removed by reaction or absorption with parts of the frame or the piston wall of the gas phase (sink), or that it is continuously introduced by desorption or chemical reaction in the gas phase (source).
- a sink occurs a source and additionally introduce a sink in the lamp when a source occurs.
- the continuous transport of hydrogen from a source to a sink is treated.
- the source of hydrogen may be hydrogen stored in the luminous element (metal carbide), hydrogen taken up in the supply lines or getters (possibly bound as metal hydride, eg tantalum hydride).
- hydrogen can be enriched in the lamp by the hydrogen partial pressure and the temperature distribution in the luminous element and the supply lines.
- other temperature distributions prevail than when carburizing.
- the lamp temperature in lamp operation is about 3300 K - 3600 K higher than when carburizing (2800 K - 3100 K);
- higher hydrogen partial pressures can be set during carburization. Therefore, when carburizing at a suitable temperature located parts of the frame, for example, tantalum or niobium can absorb hydrogen.
- the second example relates to the use of sulfur in a lamp with a metal carbide luminous element and an integral design of filaments and filaments, ie filaments and filament outlets are manufactured integrally from a tantalum wire and then the filament is carburized.
- a metal carbide luminous element ie filaments and filament outlets are manufactured integrally from a tantalum wire and then the filament is carburized.
- the helical outlets are not completely mitcarburiert, ie here you will find tantalum or Tantalsubcarbid Ta2C.
- sulfur present in the lamp is converted to the very stable compound tantalum sulfide and the sulfur is thus removed from the gas phase (sink).
- the the. Gas phase deprived sulfur must be constantly replenished (source) to maintain a CS cycle process.
- FIG. 1 shows an incandescent lamp with carbide filament according to a abroads ⁇ example
- FIG. 2 shows an incandescent lamp with a carbide luminous element according to a second exemplary embodiment
- FIG. 3 to 5 an incandescent lamp with carbide filament according to other Aust ⁇ insurance examples.
- FIG. 1 shows a bulb 1 pinched on one side with a bulb made of quartz glass 2, a pinch seal 3, and internal current leads 10 which connect foils 4 in the pinch seal to a luminous element 7.
- the filament 7 is a simple coiled, axially arranged wire of TaC, the ends 14 are uncoiled and projecting transversely to the lamp axis.
- the outer leads 5 are attached to the outside of the foils 4.
- the design described here can also be applied, for example, to lamps with luminous bodies of other metal carbides, e.g. Hafnium carbide, zirconium carbide, niobium carbide.
- metal carbides e.g. Hafnium carbide, zirconium carbide, niobium carbide.
- alloys of different carbides is possible.
- borides or nitrides in particular of rhenium nitride or osmium boride, is possible.
- the lamp preferably uses a luminous body made of tantalum carbide, which preferably consists of a single-coiled wire.
- a luminous body made of tantalum carbide, which preferably consists of a single-coiled wire.
- the piston is typically made of quartz glass or hard glass with a piston diameter between 5 mm and 35 mm, preferably between 8 mm and 15 mm.
- the filling is mainly inert gas, in particular noble gas such as Ar, Kr or Xe, possibly with the addition of small amounts (up to 15 mol%) of nitrogen.
- This is typically a hydrocarbon, hydrogen and a halogen additive.
- halogen is expedient, irrespective of possible carbon-halogen cycle processes or transport processes, in order to reduce the metals evaporated from the metal carbide filament to the precipitate on the bulb wall and, if possible, to transport it back to the filament.
- This is a metal-halide cycle such as e.g. described in the application DE-Az 103 56 651.1.
- the following factor is important: The more the evaporation of carbon from the luminous body can be suppressed, the lower the evaporation of the metallic component, see, for example, US Pat. YES. Coffmann, G.M. Kibler, T.R. Riethof, A.A. Watts: WADD-TR-60-646 Part I (1960).
- aliphatic hydrocarbons are usually due to the otherwise low melting point only high molecular weight compounds in question (eg, the melting point of C 56 Hn 4 is just below 100 ° C, which is too little for most applications, unless the use of liquid compounds is possible).
- aromatic hydrocarbons such as, for example, anthracene (melting point 216 0 C), naphthacene (melting point 355 ° C), coronene (melting point 440 0 C), which also have the advantage that considerably per carbon atom less hydrogen in the lamp is registered.
- the vapor pressure of anthracene is just below the melting point by 50 mbar, at 145 0 C, slightly above 1 mbar.
- the suitable temperature for the source is in the range between 12O 0 C and 150 0 C, when the distance between the luminous body located at eg 3400 K and the source is approx.
- the inert gas eg argon, krypton
- the inert gas preferably contains 2 mbar - 20 mbar hydrogen H 2 , 0.5 mbar CH 2 Br 2 and 2 mbar - 20 mbar iodine.
- the bromine is intended to prevent the deposition of tantalum on the flask (see DE-A 103 56 651.1), and the iodine is intended to bind the hydrogen released in the course of the evaporation and decomposition of the anthracene in the form of HJ.
- HJ here represents a sink for the released hydrogen.
- Figure 1 shows schematically an example of a possible design of the source and sink for a single-pinched lamp.
- the source 6 uses as source material a solid hydrocarbon 8 deposited on the end of a wire rod 9, often called a middle holder, of tungsten.
- the rod 9 is supported by being connected to an additional sheet 11 in the center of the pinch seal 3. For ease of insertion, this can have an outer wire attachment 12, which typically consists of molybdenum.
- the sink 13 is realized by coating coils 15 on one or both Stromzu ⁇ guides 10. These coils consist for example of nickel wire. This can be located in the inner volume, near the pinch, or even protrude into the pinch, as shown on the right helix 15. In this embodiment, have both source and sink at relatively low temperatures, normally, ben betrie ⁇ below about 500 0 C, such as those found near the bulb wall. With regard to Ein ⁇ bring the use of the power supply lines 10 near the pinch 3 is the easiest. Alternatively, the source at one Stromzu ⁇ leadership 10 and the sink could be attached to the other power supply 10.
- the end of the middle holder 9 is coated here with the serving as source material hydrocarbon.
- this embodiment is simple to manufacture, it must be accepted that the transport from the source into the sink takes place mainly at the luminous body 7.
- the catalyst which is formed here by the sink of nickel wire, in the stationary state in the entire gas phase, even outside the direct path from the source to the sink , an increased concentration of hydrocarbon or carbon.
- An advantage for the operation is therefore the use of an arrangement as in FIG. 2, where the source 16 consists of a holder 18 made of tungsten which is crimped in the pump tip 17, at whose end facing the filament 7 the source material 19 is seated, namely a hydrocarbon which was precipitated as a solid.
- the sink is here realized by the lower part 21 of the current supply 22, which is close to the pinch.
- This part 21 consists of molybdenum, which serves as Kata ⁇ analyzer in the decomposition of hydrocarbons.
- the upper part 20 of the power supply is integrally formed by the carbide of the filament. The lower parts 21 protrude into the pinch.
- the luminous element 7 is in the material flow, which forms from the source 16 to the sink 21.
- the lower part of the inner power supply 22 is made of molybdenum, which is known as molybdenum Catalyst in the decomposition of hydrocarbons and thus acts as a sink.
- the luminous body 23 consisting of TaC, see FIG. 3, is operated at a temperature between 3300 K and 3600 K.
- the carbon source 24 is maintained in the temperature range between 2700 K and 3000 K.
- Hydrogen is added to the inert gas (krypton, argon) in such a way that the partial pressure of the hydrogen is in the range preferably between 2 mbar H 2 and 20 mbar H to avoid the deposition of the carbon on the piston wall and the transport of the carbon to the sink 2 lies. In this case, no hydrogen is released from the source, so that no sink for hydrogen is needed.
- the carbon source is at such a high temperature that there is no direct reaction with the hydrogen.
- a sink for the decomposition of the hydrocarbon is, for example, again at 400 0 C - 800 0 C operated wires or plates of nickel or iron or molybdenum, or at temperatures around 500 0 C be ⁇ exaggerated aluminosilicate.
- FIG. 3 shows a possible geometry for such a lamp.
- carbon deposition can also take place
- the current supply is here an integral departure from the helix 23.
- C fibers can also be wound around the outlet, the depression 26 here being a coating helix of iron coated with platinum It is close to the bruise, so it is appropriate at very high temperatures.
- FIG. 1 An example of a source arranged on the axis of the luminous element is shown in FIG.
- the rod 27 has approximately the same temperature profile in the region of the helix 28 as the helix itself.
- the helix is wound to such an extent that the rod 27 fits snugly into its axis.
- the depression is again formed by coating helices 26, as in FIG. 3. They consist of molybdenum.
- the rod 27 is supported by a middle holder 9 similar to FIG. In particular, it can extend into a pump seat 29, see dashed embodiment. As a result, he is better locked.
- FIG. 5 shows a possible arrangement for a double-sided squeezed lamp 30.
- the source 31 and the sink 32 on the different sides of the luminous element 33 so that the luminous element 33 is in the transport stream from the source due to the geometric arrangement 31 to the sink 32 is located.
- the bruises are designated 39.
- the source 31 is a carbon deposit (soot) or a carbon fiber wound around the power supply 34.
- the sink 32 is the part of a power supply, which is made of molybdenum and is arranged away from the luminous body 33. This part is connected via a weld point 35 to the outlet 36 of the luminous body made of TaC.
- the entire temperature spectrum is available on both sides of the luminous element 33 in the axial direction, so that, for example, the C source at relatively high temperatures in the vicinity of the filament and the sink at lower temperatures farther away from the filament on the other side can be arranged.
- the molybdenum outflow acts as a sink.
- the filament material is a metal or a metal compound is suitable, the melting point in the vicinity of the melting point of tungsten, preferably at least 3000 0 C, and more preferably above that of tungsten.
- tungsten, rhenium, osmium and tantalum are particularly suitable.
