Abstract
1367094 Discharge lamps; discharge treatmerit C F WEISSFLOCH M R WERTHEIMER and R G BOSISIO 7 Feb 1972 [13 Feb 1971] 4611/71 Headings H1D and H1X [Also in Division H5] Microwave energy is transmitted to a gas 7 using a slow wave structure 6 between the energy source 1 and the gas 7, the gas being at a controllable pressure and flow rate. The gas 7 flows through a container 8 in close proximity to the slow wave structure 6, which is a broad band, travelling wave structure, preferably of the strapped bar type, Figs. 4-6 (not shown). A vacuum pump 13 and flow regulator 15 control the gas flow. The unabsorbed energy is absorbed in a load 11. Container 8 is of quartz or other microwave-transparent material, and is cooled by a fan 18, or a cooling liquid. A double-walled radiation shield 9 is transparent and waterfilled. Container 8 is inclined at 3 to 10 degrees to the slow wave structure 6. Two structures 6, 61, may be used, Figs. 15, 22, 23, 26 (not shown). Slow wave structures of the comb-type, laddertype, zig-zag type and helical type may be used, Figs. 16-19 (not shown). Material in the form of a web, film, foil or plate is treated by the gas discharge, Figs. 22-25 (not shown), e.g. to improve the bonding and printing characteristics of fibres or a polyethylene film surface or to improve the dyeability and washability of polyester textile materials, or to reduce shrinkage of wool. Material in bulk form, e.g. granular or fibrous materials, may be treated by the discharge, Fig. 26 (not shown). Organic vapour may be treated to form a solid polymer film, e.g. for encapsulating electronic components. A CO 2 laser "pumping" embodiment is described, Fig. 27 (not shown). The gas discharge may be used as a light source, or a source of infra-red or ultra-violet radiation. Alternatively the discharge may effect chemical reactions of gaseous organic or inorganic compounds, e.g. cracking hydrocarbons. Reference is made to forming protective oxide or nitride layers on metals or semi-conductors, to chemical synthesis of hydrazine and acetylene, and to "crosslinking" applications. Gases used include nitrogen, oxygen, air, argon, helium, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, xenon and mixtures. Another possible use of the invention is in spectral analysis.
