  • a power connection is disposed between the burner and the mirror layer.
  • a gas discharge mirror lamp is known with a burner connected to the power connections of a balloon designed as an ellipsoid or a tube.
  • the balloon is covered with a mirror layer so that the plane passing over the longitudinal edges of the mirror layer is equal to or even encloses the longitudinal axis of the burner.
  • the mirror layer can cover as much, less, or more than half of the balloon.
  • a plane extending over the longitudinal edges of the mirror layer may have a distance to the balloon axis which lies in the range between 0.00 D to 0.50 D of the maximum inner diameter of the balloon.
  • the burner can be offset parallel to the longitudinal axis of the balloon by up to a quarter of the diameter of the balloon.
  • the ratio of the distance between the burner axis and the nearest surface of the mirror layer to the distance between the burner axis and the longitudinal edge of the mirror layer can be about 0.45 to 1.0.
  • a gas discharge mirror lamp which has a burner and a balloon.
  • the burner is connected to the power connections of the balloon.
  • At least half of the inner surface of the balloon is covered with a mirror layer, in such a way that the plane which runs over the longitudinal edges of the mirror layer is in line with the longitudinal axis of the burner (certificate of the USSR, no. 1636896 A1, 23.03.91 ).
  • the gas discharge mirror lamp has a burner and a balloon.
  • the burner is connected to the power connections of the balloon.
  • At least half of the inner surface of the balloon is covered with a mirror layer in such a way that the plane which extends over the longitudinal edges of the mirror layer, with the longitudinal axis of the burner is synchronous.
  • the balloon of the gas discharge mirror lamp is designed as an ellipsoid.
  • the transverse edges of the mirror layer in the area delimited by the neck and dome of the balloon lie in the cross sections of the transitional zones where the neck and dome of the balloon change to the ellipsoidal part.
  • the plane which runs over the longitudinal edges of the mirror layer has a distance H from the balloon axis. This level is within 0.04 D to 0.11 D of the max. Inside diameter D of the balloon.
  • the burner is arranged in the longitudinal plane of symmetry.
  • the ratio of the distance I between the burner axis and the nearest surface of the mirror layer to the distance L between the burner axis and the edge of the mirror layer, which is in longitudinal section is about 0.56 to 0.68.
  • At least one power connection is disposed between the burner and the mirror layer in the longitudinal plane of symmetry.
  • the burner 1 of the gas discharge mirror lamp is connected to the power terminals 3 and 4 in the ellipsoidal balloon 2, such as Fig. 1 shows.
  • the ellipsoidal balloon 2 is bounded by the neck 9 and the ball 12.
  • the balloon 2 is provided with a mirror layer 5 (in the Fig. 1 hatched) covered with the longitudinal edges 6 and 7.
  • the transverse edges (11) of the mirror layer 5 lie in the cross sections of the transition point from the ellipsoid of the balloon 2 to the neck (9) and in the transition point to the ellipsoidal part 12 and are marked with a dashed line.
  • Fig. 2 is the cross section AA of the lamp after Fig. 1 displayed.
  • the cross section extends over the center of the balloon ellipsoid.
  • the balloon 2 is provided with the mirror layer 5.
  • the burner 1 is arranged so that the ratio of the distance I between the burner axis 8 and the nearest Surface of the mirror layer 5 to the distance L between the burner axis 8 and the edge of the mirror layer 5, which is arranged in longitudinal section, is about 0.58 to 0.68.
  • the arrows indicate the incident and the reflected rays.
  • transverse edge (11) of the mirror layer 5 is arranged closer to the neck (9) (with respect to the marked transition line balloon neck ellipsoid), then an increase in temperature at the lamp base is observed during operation of the lamp. This affects the base putty and the solder since part of the radiation, after the reflections from the mirror layer 5, enters the neck (9) on the base.
  • the transverse edges of the mirror layer 5 are arranged closer to the burner 1 (with respect to the marked transition lines balloon neck ellipsoid and balloon dome ellipsoid), a reduction of the luminous flux is observed, since a part of the useful radiation in the upper hemisphere. Thus, the luminous flux of the lamp is limited.
  • the burner is arranged so that the ratio of the distance I between the burner axis 8 and the nearest surface of the mirror layer 5 to the distance L between the burner axis 8 and the edge of the mirror layer 5, which is in longitudinal section, is less than 0.56, the proportion of the radiation reflected by the mirror layer 5 is too high. This causes overheating of the burner 1.
  • the burner is arranged so that in cross section, which extends over the ellipsoid center of the balloon 2, the ratio of the distance I between the burner axis 8 and the nearest surface of the mirror layer 5 to the distance L between the burner axis 8 and the edge of the mirror layer 5, which is in longitudinal section, is less than 0.56, the negative influence of the mirror layer 5 on the burner 1 is too high.
  • the lamps are configured in the following way.
  • the mirror layer 5 is applied to the balloon 2.
  • the balloon areas, which delimit the mirror layer 5, are covered by umbrellas.
  • the power connections 3 and 4 are formed and the burner 1 is connected.
  • the foot with the power terminals 3 and 4 is welded into the balloon 2.
  • the burner 1 is arranged at a precisely defined position with respect to the mirror layer 5.
  • the socket is connected to the lamp.
  • the incident solders to the mirror surface 5 are mostly directed to the burner axis 8 over.
  • the main part of the reflected-back beams passes the burner 1 and is thus not attenuated in the burner 1.
  • the beam is incident on the burner 1.
  • At least one power connection 3 is arranged between the burner 1 and the mirror layer 5 in the longitudinal plane of symmetry. As a result, as little as possible reflected back rays fall on the burner 1.
  • the proposed lamp with a burner 1 with a sodium arc lamp (DNaT) with a power of 250 W is installed in an ellipsoid balloon 2 with a diameter D of 120 mm.
  • the burner axis 8 is offset with respect to the lamp axis 10 by 19 mm.
  • the transverse edges 6 and 7 of the mirror surface 5 are designed with 8 mm distance from the Balonsachse 10.
  • the light output of the axis is 104 lumens / W.
  • the luminous intensity curves of this lamp both in the longitudinal and in the transverse direction are common to the radiators OT 400-POP-DNaT with foil reflection surfaces (POP) USchZT-15-400-POP I (C) ( 3T 15-400- (C)) similar.
  • the proposed lamp makes it possible to reduce installed power and reduce power consumption by 1.5 to 1.8 times, and to increase plant productivity by more than 15%.
  • the application of the invention in the production of sodium mirror lamps is made possible to reduce the production costs and to obtain a high luminous efficacy. With a lamp price of 210 rubles / piece and an annual production of 200,000 pieces, this will result in an economic effect of 1,200,000 rubles.
