Abstract

371,590. Discharge apparatus. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London.-(Assignees of Nolte, H. J. ; 1710, Rugby Road, Schenectady, New York, U.S.A.) April 14, 1931, No. 11026. Convention date, April 14, 1930. [Class 39 (i).] Gas is removed from the metal of a thin, hollow electrode of a discharge device by simultaneously fine-evacuating the envelope and rough-evacuating the interior of the electrode, and heating the electrode, a cooling stream of air being admitted to the interior of the electrode to prevent overheating. As shown, each anode 2 is of semicircular shape and is divided by a ridge 5 to form two channels connected with metal pipes 7, 9. The pipe 9 has a sleeve 12 closed by a screw 11 having a small axial opening 10, Fig. 3. The envelope in connected to a high vacuum pump through a tube 6, and the tubes 7 are connected with a rough pump, a discharge being passed between the filament 3 and anodes. A jet of air is thus drawn through the anodes of sufficient volume to prevent overheating but at a sufficiently low pressure to prevent deformation of the anodes due to difference of internal and external pressures. Cooling jackets 15 on the pipes 7 prevent excess heating of rubber joints 14. Cooling water or air is supplied to the anodes during operation. The discharge is controlled by magnetic fields set up by coils 4 so as to generate high frequency current. Specification 307,053, [Class 39 (i), Electric lamps, Arc &c.], is referred to.
