Definitions
- This invention relates generally to horticulture light fixtures for growing plants indoors, and particularly to an air cooled fixture used in confined indoor growing spaces that burns a high intensity horticulture lamp.
- Horticulture light fixtures used for growing plants in confined indoor spaces must provide adequate light to grow plants, while not excessively raising the temperature of the growing environment. Removal of the heat generated by the fixture is commonly achieved by forcing cooling air around the lamp and through the fixture, exhausting the same out of the growing environment. The air used for cooling the fixture is not mixed with the growing atmosphere, as the growing atmosphere is specially controlled and often enhanced with Carbon Dioxide to aid in plant development and health.
- the double ended lamp as powered from each end is also supported by sockets at each end, thereby eliminating the need for a frame support wire inside the lamp as required in standard single ended HPS lamps.
- the absence of frame wire eliminates shadows that commonly plague single ended HPS lamps.
- the double ended lamp further benefits from a smaller arc tube that is gas filled rather than vacuum encapsulated.
- the smaller arc tube equates to a smaller point source of light, thereby improving light projection control and photometric performance.
- the double ended HPS lamp proves to be more efficient than its single ended HPS lamp equivalent, last longer than like wattage HPS lamps, and produces more light in beneficial wavelength for growing plants than any single ended HPS lamps of the same light output rating.
- the double ended HPS lamp with all of its light output performance advantages, has a significant particularity in operation, specifically when cooling the lamp. Operating temperatures at the lamp envelope surface must be maintained within a narrow operating range else the double ended HPS lamp's efficiencies in electrical power conversion into light energy are significantly reduced. When impacted by moving air, the double ended HPS lamp draws excessive electrical current which may cause failure or shutdown of the ballast powering the lamp. When bounded by stagnant air held at constant operating temperature the double ended HPS lamp proves more efficient in converting electricity to light energy and produces more light in the plant usable spectrum.
- Gavita a lighting company from Holland produces various fixtures utilizing the double ended HPS lamp.
- the usual configuration includes a reflector with a spine, the spine having a socket on each opposing end such that the double ended lamp is suspended under a reflector over the plants.
- the reflector is not sealed from the growing environment, nor is there a housing enclosure or ducts to facilitate forced air cooling.
- the Gavita fixtures provide the benefit of the high performing double ended HPS lamp, but lacks air cooling capability which is necessary in many indoor growing applications as discussed above.
- one object of the present invention is to provide an air cooled double ended HPS lamp fixture for growing plants in confined indoor environments.
- a further object of this invention is to provide a fixture construct wherein the excessive heat generated by the lamp is removed using a stream of forced air.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a positive air tight seal between the fixture and the growing environment using a gasket that is protected from the lamp's damaging light.
- This invention further features turbulence enhancement of the cooling air stream by a diverter that disrupts the air stream creating eddies over the top of the reflector.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a horticulture lighting fixture that allows for improved operation of single ended high pressure sodium horticulture lamps.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a horticulture lighting fixture that allows for improved operation of a high intensity horticulture lamp tube oriented horizontally and substantially parallel to the fixture opening.
- An object of the present invention is to provide alternative structures for an air cooled horticulture lighting fixture that utilizes a cooling chamber to remove heat conducted through reflective material isolating the lamp from the cooling chamber.

- FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the fixture shown in FIGS. 5-8 , as viewed from below, according to preferred embodiments.
- FIG. 10 is a perspective view of an air flow diverter or disruptor structure, according to various preferred embodiments.
- a “heat sink” is a component used for absorbing, transferring, or dissipating heat from a system.
- the reflector 100 acts as the “heat sink” for the lamp 2 which is isolated from the cooling air stream 310 within the reflector interior side 101 .
- the reflector 100 convectively transfers heat generated by the lamp 2 into the cooling air stream 310 .
- Convectively transfers refers to the transport of heat by a moving fluid which is in contact with a heated component.
- the fluid is air, specifically the cooling air stream 310 and the heated component is the reflector 100 .
- the heat transfer is performed convectively from the reflector exterior side 102 to the cooling air stream 310 .
- the rate at which the heat transfer can convectively occur depends on the capacity of the replenishable fluid (i.e. cooling air stream 310 ) to absorb the heat energy via intimate contact with the relatively high temperature at the reflector exterior surface 102 .
- Turbulence referring to a chaotic flow regime wherein the fluid/air undergoes irregular changes in magnitude and direction, swirling and flowing in eddies.
- “Laminar” flow referring to a smooth streamlined flow or regular parallel patterns, generally having a boundary layer of air against the surface over which the laminar flow moves.
- Turbulent flow acts to scrub away the boundary layer or push away the stagnant layer of air that is closest to the heat sink, thereby enhancing the fluid convection coefficient increasing heat transfer. Turbulent flow also increases velocities and pressures on the surface to be cooled, increasing thermal transfer.
- the term “Turbulator” as referenced herein is a device that enhances disruption of a laminar flow into a more turbulent flow.
- a preferred embodiment of the fixture comprises a reflector 100 captured within a housing 200 defining a cooling chamber 300 within the air space located between the reflector exterior side 102 and housing interior 220 , the cooling chamber 300 being in air communication with a first duct and second duct.
- a cooling air stream 310 is disposed through the cooling chamber 300 between the first duct 235 and the second duct 245 .
- Two lamp sockets 230 A-B located partially through two opposing reflector apertures 105 A-B provide the install location for the double ended HPS lamp within the reflector interior side 101 .
- a flow disruptor 160 fixates over each socket 230 A-B and aperture 105 A-B diverting moving air from entering the reflector interior side 101 while further creating air eddies and local air turbulence within the cooling chamber 300 between the sockets over the reflector top 104 at the reflector's 100 hottest spot, substantially above the lamp 2 .
- the flow disruptor 160 interference with the cooling air stream 310 creates air eddies, increases local vortex velocities within the cooling chamber 300 , scrubs away boundary layers of air proximal to the reflector exterior side 102 that reduce heat transfer, thereby enhancing convective heat transfer from the reflector 100 into the cooling air stream 310 .
- the fixture 1 includes a housing 200 , a reflector 100 captured within the housing 200 , a cooling chamber 300 defined by the air space between the housing 200 interior and the reflector exterior side 102 .
- the cooling chamber 300 being in air communication with a first duct 235 and second duct 245 , located substantially on opposite sides of the housing 200 . Between the first duct 235 and the second duct 245 flows the cooling air stream 310 through the cooling chamber 300 , the cooling air stream 310 which is pushed or pulled by remote fan not shown but commonly used in the prior art, connected by hose or ducting to the first duct 235 .
- the cooling air stream 310 is split or deflected by the flow disruptor 160 enhancing turbulent flow thereby increasing thermal transfer from the reflector interior side 101 , through the reflector 100 , convectively transferring from the reflector exterior side 102 into the cooling air stream 310 .
- the hottest area of the reflector 100 is the reflector top 104 directly above the lamp 2 , which is the closest structure to the light source.
- the reflector 100 has a reflector top air gap 104 A defined between the reflector top 104 and the housing interior 220 .
- the reflector top 104 air gap 104 A for the preferred embodiment using a 1000 watt double ended HPS lamp is 3 ⁇ 8 of an inch, which provides ample cooling chamber 300 space for turbulent air movement as between the reflector top 104 and the housing interior 220 facilitating adequate cooling while maintaining an acceptably air insulated housing 200 exterior temperature.
- the lamp 2 is shown installed by its ends into the sockets 230 A-B within the reflector interior side 101 near the reflector top 104 .
- the lamp 2 is shown oriented parallel to the cooling air stream 310 , however, the robust design allows for the lamp 2 to be oriented within the reflector 100 at any diverging angle relative to the cooling air stream 310 .
- cooling air directions being depicted by arrows illustrates the cooling air stream 310 as impacted by the flow disruptor 160 .
- the cooling air stream 310 is being forced to move with a fan (not shown) either by fan push or fan pull through the first duct 235 , then into and through the cooling chamber 300 to be exhausted out the second duct 245 .
- the cooling air stream 310 is diverted and split by a flow disruptor 160 directing part of the air over one side of the reflector exterior 102 , the other part over the other side of the reflector exterior 102 .
- the diverted cooling air stream 310 is redirected within the fixture 1 such that moving air is discouraged from pressuring any apertures, gaps, or through holes in the reflector 100 .
- the flow disruptor 160 constructed to be deflecting and disrupting to moving air and arranged to attach over at least one socket 230 and enclose at least one aperture 105 such that cooling air moving through the cooling chamber 300 is diverted and disrupted into a more turbulent flow than a laminar flow regime.
- a preferred embodiment locates the flow disruptor 160 to encourage deflection of moving air away from the sockets 230 and aperture 105 as discussed above, essentially fulfilling two functions, creating turbulence within the cooling chamber 300 while also redirecting moving air away from reflector areas 100 that may be subject to leaks.
- the flow disruptor 160 location is not limited to enclosing the sockets 230 or apertures 105 , as a flow disruptor 160 located within the first duct 235 or second annular duct 245 , depending on which receives the incoming cooling air stream 310 , is effective at introducing turbulence into the cooling air stream 310 , and depending on which configuration may be preferred. Additional flow disruptors 160 working independently or in cooperation may be included within the cooling chamber 300 mounted to the reflector 100 or the housing 200 .
- the preferred embodiment design of the flow disruptor 160 shown in FIG. 3A is simply constructed from a first sheet metal portion 160 A and a second sheet metal portion 160 B, the preferred metal being steel over aluminum, as the thermal conductivity of the flow disruptor 160 is not as important as the costs associated with manufacture, but in practice both metals are suitable.
- the flow disruptor 160 is impervious to moving air to facilitate the dual function of deflecting moving air away from the reflector apertures 105 while also creating turbulence within the cooling chamber 300 .
- an enhanced flow disruptor 160 having turbulators 161 illustratively depicted as rows of through holes.
- the turbulators 161 could also be fins, blades, vents, or grating, most any disrupting structure, redirecting channel, or obstacle for the cooling air stream 310 will cause turbulence and thereby increase thermal conductivity from the reflector 100 into the cooling air stream 310 .
- the reflector 100 is a thermally conductive component of the fixture acting as a heat sink for the lamp 2 .
- the reflector 100 preferably is constructed from aluminum, which is the favored material because of its relatively high thermal conductivity, easily shaped and formed, and highly reflective when polished.
- the high thermal conductivity of aluminum provides beneficial heat transfer between the reflector interior side 101 to the reflector exterior side 102 thermally transferring or heat sinking through the reflector 100 .
- Steel is also a suitable material, however the lower thermal conductivity makes aluminum the preferred reflector 100 material.
- openings, gaps, or spaces through the reflector 100 are preferably filled, blocked, or covered such that the reflector interior side 101 is substantially sealed from moving air.
- a first socket 230 A is disposed to fill a reflector 100 first aperture 105 A sealing the first aperture 105 A from moving air.
- a second socket 230 B is disposed to fill the second aperture 105 B sealing the second aperture 105 B against moving air.
- the first socket 230 A and second socket 230 B constructed and arranged to cooperatively receive the ends of the double ended HPS lamp 2 as located within the reflector interior side 101 between the two sockets 230 A-B. As shown from the side in FIG. 2 and by depiction in FIG.
- flow disruptors 160 attach over the sockets 230 A-B and over both apertures 105 A-B within the path of the cooling air stream 310 .
- the flow disruptors 160 enclose any opening or space between either socket 230 A-B and aperture 105 A-B respectively, thereby diverting air moving through the cooling chamber 300 away from any potential opening into the reflector interior side 101 .
- Filling of each aperture 105 A-B by partial insert of each socket 230 A-B requires precise manufacturing tolerances or specially formed sockets 230 in order to prevent or substantially stop moving air from traveling around the socket 230 into the reflector interior side 101 .
- Heat resistant sealing mediums like metal tape or high temp calk are available to positively seal the aperture 105 to the socket 230 thereby diverting the cooling air path 310 from entering the reflector interior side 101 .
- high temperature sealing mediums tend to be expensive, and application of the sealing medium as performed manually is often messy, slow, and leaves one more step in the manufacturing process subject to human error.
- a preferred embodiment utilizes flow disruptors 160 constructed from sheet metal that are impervious to air rather than sealing mediums.
- sealing mediums if properly applied will work in the place of a flow disruptor 160 for the limited purpose of sealing the reflector interior 101 , but lack the aerodynamic structure necessary to disturb the cooling air stream 310 creating turbulence between the first socket 230 A and second socket 230 B for enhanced convective transfer of heat from the reflector 100 into the cooling air stream 310 .
- FIG. 4 a sectional view with a close up of the bottom corner of the fixture 1 showing by illustration the cooling chamber 300 as defined between the reflector 100 and the housing 200 .
- the cooling chamber 300 is shown in cross section demonstrating from top to bottom the relative size of air space between the reflector 100 and the housing 200 for the preferred embodiment. As shown, there is only one continuous cooling chamber 300 , however several smaller cooling chambers 300 split by disruptors 160 or mounting fins between the housing interior 220 and the reflector 100 provide greater control of the movement of the cooling air stream 310 through the fixture 1 .
- the lower left close up view shown in FIG. 4 of the bottom corner of the fixture 1 demonstrates the lower lip 103 of the reflector 100 location as captured within the housing 200 , wherein the lower lip 103 is adjacent to and slightly extending below the housing lower edge 210 .
- the reflector's 100 lower lip 103 and housing lower edge 210 thermally transfer heat energy. This heat sinking occurring between the reflector's 100 hotter lower lip 103 and the housing 200 cooler lower edge 210 makes the lower lip 103 the coolest part of the reflector 100 , making for the most suitable place to seal the reflector 100 using a gasket 31 .
- a specially formed reflector lip 103 protectively shadows the gasket 31 from damaging light energy produced by the double ended HPS lamp 2 thereby preventing premature failure of the gasket 31 during operation.
- the gasket seals against the housing edge surface slightly deforming 31 A to further seal against the reflector lip 103 .
- a double redundant seal is provided between the fixture interior and the growing environment, while also providing a positive air tight seal between the cooling chamber 300 and the reflector interior side 101 that is not as susceptible to premature seal failure.
- a compressive sealing between a glass sheet 30 and the housing edge 210 with a gasket 31 sandwiched in between thereby seals the growing environment from the fixture interior, in preferred embodiments.
- the gasket 31 being located relative to the reflector 100 such that the reflector lower lip 103 shadows or blocks direct light 2 A produced by the lamp from impacting the gasket 31 .
- the glass sheet 30 is preferably held in place compressively by at least one latch 32 with enough compressive force to deform the gasket 31 .
- the deformed gasket 31 A sealingly contacts the lower lip 103 making a second redundant seal against the coolest part of the reflector 100 at the lower lip 103 which is shadowed and protected from the direct light energy produced by the lamp 2 .
- the gasket 31 is constructed of a porous neoprene material, however many suitable heat resistant gasket materials may be used to construct the gasket 31 .
- the gasket 31 may be, as shown in FIG. 4 , compressed between the lower lip 103 and the perimeter material shown retaining the glass 30 and fastenable to latch 32 , but without the glass sheet 30 itself. That is, in less preferred embodiments the glass sheet 30 may be omitted with the structure shown in FIG. 4 still providing isolation between the reflector interior 101 and the cooling chamber 300 . As shown, the housing 200 cooler lower edge 210 may be formed so as to maintain a substantially sealed lower edge 210 portion of the cooling chamber 300 .
- the inventor discovered horticulture applications not requiring the thermal protective aspects (i.e. to protect plants growing under the fixture from burning) benefit from increase light projected from the lamp and reflector interior 101 when a glass sheet 30 is not used with the fixture. Without the glass sheet 30 , the inventor discovered, an open (i.e. no glass) air cooled horticulture lighting fixture is provided that beneficially isolates cooling air flow from the lamp, which the inventor discovered in turn improves light performance from the fixture.
- the fixture 1 may comprise an air cooled horticulture lighting fixture having the cooling chamber 300 and other features previously described, except configured with a different flow disruptor 560 as shown in FIG. 5 which is a front end view of a fixture 1 having a different flow disruptor 560 structure than shown in FIG. 3 .
- the cooling air stream 310 flows in through a first duct 235 and is diverted by a disruptor 560 , with part of the moving air diverted to one side of the reflector exterior 102 by a first angled surface 502 and part of the moving air diverted to the other side of the reflector exterior 102 by a second angled surface 504 .
- the diverted cooling air stream 310 is redirected within the fixture 1 such that moving air is discouraged from pressuring any apertures, gaps, or through holes in the reflector 100 .
- a disruptor such as the disruptor 560 is oriented in one or the other of the first duct 235 or the second duct 245 , or both the first duct 235 and the second duct 245 , as illustrated in FIG. 2 .
- a disrupter 560 is oriented in the first duct 235 but not the second duct 245 .
- FIG. 6 is a rear end view of the fixture depicted in FIG. 5 , according to preferred embodiments, with the cooling air stream 310 flowing over and around the reflector exterior 102 and out of the second duct 245 .
- FIG. 7 is a top view of the fixture depicted in FIGS. 5 and 6 , according to preferred embodiments
- FIG. 8 is a bottom view of the fixture depicted in FIGS. 5-7 , showing incorporation of a single ended lamp socket 830 protruding from an aperture 805 in the reflector interior surface 101 , according to preferred embodiments.
- FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the fixture shown in FIGS. 5-8 , as viewed from below, according to preferred embodiments.
- the socket 830 preferably receives a single ended high pressure sodium horticulture lamp, orienting the (tube shaped) lamp (not shown) to extend from the socket 830 nearest the first duct 235 longitudinally in a direction toward the second duct 245 .

Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/665,381 filed on Mar. 23, 2015, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/945,794 filed on Jul. 18, 2013, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,016,907 issued on Apr. 28, 2015, and is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Design Patent Application Serial No. 29/493,634 filed on Jun. 11, 2014, now U.S. Design Patent D748,849 issued on Feb. 2, 2016.
- This invention relates generally to horticulture light fixtures for growing plants indoors, and particularly to an air cooled fixture used in confined indoor growing spaces that burns a high intensity horticulture lamp.
- Horticulture light fixtures used for growing plants in confined indoor spaces must provide adequate light to grow plants, while not excessively raising the temperature of the growing environment. Removal of the heat generated by the fixture is commonly achieved by forcing cooling air around the lamp and through the fixture, exhausting the same out of the growing environment. The air used for cooling the fixture is not mixed with the growing atmosphere, as the growing atmosphere is specially controlled and often enhanced with Carbon Dioxide to aid in plant development and health.
- Innovations in electronic ballast technology made feasible for use in the indoor garden industry an improved high pressure sodium TIPS' grow lamp that is connected to power at each end of the lamp, thus the term “Double Ended”. The double ended lamp as powered from each end is also supported by sockets at each end, thereby eliminating the need for a frame support wire inside the lamp as required in standard single ended HPS lamps. The absence of frame wire eliminates shadows that commonly plague single ended HPS lamps. The double ended lamp further benefits from a smaller arc tube that is gas filled rather than vacuum encapsulated. The smaller arc tube equates to a smaller point source of light, thereby improving light projection control and photometric performance. The double ended HPS lamp proves to be more efficient than its single ended HPS lamp equivalent, last longer than like wattage HPS lamps, and produces more light in beneficial wavelength for growing plants than any single ended HPS lamps of the same light output rating.
- The double ended HPS lamp, with all of its light output performance advantages, has a significant particularity in operation, specifically when cooling the lamp. Operating temperatures at the lamp envelope surface must be maintained within a narrow operating range else the double ended HPS lamp's efficiencies in electrical power conversion into light energy are significantly reduced. When impacted by moving air, the double ended HPS lamp draws excessive electrical current which may cause failure or shutdown of the ballast powering the lamp. When bounded by stagnant air held at constant operating temperature the double ended HPS lamp proves more efficient in converting electricity to light energy and produces more light in the plant usable spectrum. This particularity in the double ended HPS lamp makes it an excellent grow lamp, but also thwarted earlier attempts to enclose, seal, and air cool the double ended HPS lamp to be used in confined indoor growing application due to the lamp's substantial sensitivity to moving cooling air.
- Another challenges not resolved by the prior art involves sealing the glass sheet to the bottom of the fixture. The reflector interior temperatures when burning a double ended HPS lamp cause failures of gasket materials. Further, the ultraviolet and infrared light energies produced by the double ended HPS lamp degrade and make brittle rubber, neoprene, and most other gasket materials suitable for sealing the glass sheet.
- Gavita, a lighting company from Holland produces various fixtures utilizing the double ended HPS lamp. The usual configuration includes a reflector with a spine, the spine having a socket on each opposing end such that the double ended lamp is suspended under a reflector over the plants. The reflector is not sealed from the growing environment, nor is there a housing enclosure or ducts to facilitate forced air cooling. The Gavita fixtures provide the benefit of the high performing double ended HPS lamp, but lacks air cooling capability which is necessary in many indoor growing applications as discussed above.
- What is needed, are horticulture lighting fixtures and methods for using such fixtures that address particular aspects of the high intensity horticulture lamps use in such fixtures.
- In view of the foregoing, one object of the present invention is to provide an air cooled double ended HPS lamp fixture for growing plants in confined indoor environments.
- A further object of this invention is to provide a fixture construct wherein the excessive heat generated by the lamp is removed using a stream of forced air.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a stagnant air space around the lamp that is maintained at constant temperatures within the reflector during operation to prevent the lamp from drawing excessive current when subjected to temperatures differentials, or direct moving cooling air.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a positive air tight seal between the fixture and the growing environment using a gasket that is protected from the lamp's damaging light.
- This invention further features turbulence enhancement of the cooling air stream by a diverter that disrupts the air stream creating eddies over the top of the reflector.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a horticulture lighting fixture that allows for improved operation of single ended high pressure sodium horticulture lamps.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a horticulture lighting fixture that allows for improved operation of a high intensity horticulture lamp tube oriented horizontally and substantially parallel to the fixture opening.
- An object of the present invention is to provide alternative structures for an air cooled horticulture lighting fixture that utilizes a cooling chamber to remove heat conducted through reflective material isolating the lamp from the cooling chamber.
- Other objects, advantages, and features of this invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when contemplated with the accompanying drawings.
- Elements in the figures have not necessarily been drawn to scale in order to enhance their clarity and improve understanding of these various elements and embodiments of the invention. Furthermore, elements that are known to be common and well understood to those in the industry such as electrical power connection are not necessarily depicted in order to provide a clear view of the various embodiments of the invention, thus the drawings are generalized in form in the interest of clarity and conciseness.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the fixture shown inFIGS. 5-8 , as viewed from below, according to preferred embodiments. -
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of an air flow diverter or disruptor structure, according to various preferred embodiments. - As depicted and shown in the FIGS., a “heat sink” is a component used for absorbing, transferring, or dissipating heat from a system. Here, the
reflector 100 acts as the “heat sink” for thelamp 2 which is isolated from thecooling air stream 310 within the reflectorinterior side 101. Thereflector 100 convectively transfers heat generated by thelamp 2 into thecooling air stream 310. “Convectively transfers” refers to the transport of heat by a moving fluid which is in contact with a heated component. Here, the fluid is air, specifically thecooling air stream 310 and the heated component is thereflector 100. Due to the special prerequisite criteria that the double ended high pressure sodium (HPS)lamp 2 be isolated from moving air, and specifically thecooling air stream 310, the heat transfer is performed convectively from the reflectorexterior side 102 to thecooling air stream 310. The rate at which the heat transfer can convectively occur depends on the capacity of the replenishable fluid (i.e. cooling air stream 310) to absorb the heat energy via intimate contact with the relatively high temperature at thereflector exterior surface 102. This relationship is expressed by the equation q=hAΔT, wherein, “h” is the fluid convection coefficient that is derived from the fluid's variables including composition, temperature, velocity and turbulence. “Turbulence” referring to a chaotic flow regime wherein the fluid/air undergoes irregular changes in magnitude and direction, swirling and flowing in eddies. “Laminar” flow referring to a smooth streamlined flow or regular parallel patterns, generally having a boundary layer of air against the surface over which the laminar flow moves. When cooling with a heat sink device within a cooling medium such as air, turbulent flow proves more effective in transferring heat energy from the heat sink into the flowing air. Turbulent flow acts to scrub away the boundary layer or push away the stagnant layer of air that is closest to the heat sink, thereby enhancing the fluid convection coefficient increasing heat transfer. Turbulent flow also increases velocities and pressures on the surface to be cooled, increasing thermal transfer. The term “Turbulator” as referenced herein is a device that enhances disruption of a laminar flow into a more turbulent flow. - Although repeated reference may be made to a preferred embodiment, and although preferred embodiments may be described in the context of a horticulture lighting fixture configured to use a double ended high pressure sodium lamp, various embodiments are described that the inventor discovered apply to other types of lamps and especially high intensity lamps used for horticulture applications and those lamps that benefit from various aspects of the various embodiments. The various inventive aspects are separable and may apply to lighting fixtures generally, to lighting fixtures requiring cooling, to lighting fixtures with air cooling features and using lamps that have improved performance when the lamp is isolated from moving air used to cool the fixture, to lighting fixtures that use a single ended type high intensity horticulture lamp, or to other applications.
- Referring now to
FIG. 1-2 , a preferred embodiment of the fixture comprises areflector 100 captured within ahousing 200 defining acooling chamber 300 within the air space located between the reflectorexterior side 102 andhousing interior 220, the coolingchamber 300 being in air communication with a first duct and second duct. A coolingair stream 310 is disposed through thecooling chamber 300 between thefirst duct 235 and thesecond duct 245. Twolamp sockets 230A-B located partially through two opposingreflector apertures 105A-B provide the install location for the double ended HPS lamp within the reflectorinterior side 101. Aflow disruptor 160 fixates over eachsocket 230A-B andaperture 105A-B diverting moving air from entering the reflectorinterior side 101 while further creating air eddies and local air turbulence within thecooling chamber 300 between the sockets over thereflector top 104 at the reflector's 100 hottest spot, substantially above thelamp 2. Theflow disruptor 160 interference with the coolingair stream 310 creates air eddies, increases local vortex velocities within thecooling chamber 300, scrubs away boundary layers of air proximal to thereflector exterior side 102 that reduce heat transfer, thereby enhancing convective heat transfer from thereflector 100 into the coolingair stream 310. - With reference to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , the fixture 1 includes ahousing 200, areflector 100 captured within thehousing 200, acooling chamber 300 defined by the air space between thehousing 200 interior and thereflector exterior side 102. The coolingchamber 300 being in air communication with afirst duct 235 andsecond duct 245, located substantially on opposite sides of thehousing 200. Between thefirst duct 235 and thesecond duct 245 flows the coolingair stream 310 through thecooling chamber 300, the coolingair stream 310 which is pushed or pulled by remote fan not shown but commonly used in the prior art, connected by hose or ducting to thefirst duct 235. - Before flowing over the
reflector top 104, the coolingair stream 310 is split or deflected by theflow disruptor 160 enhancing turbulent flow thereby increasing thermal transfer from the reflectorinterior side 101, through thereflector 100, convectively transferring from thereflector exterior side 102 into the coolingair stream 310. The hottest area of thereflector 100 is thereflector top 104 directly above thelamp 2, which is the closest structure to the light source. As captured within thehousing 200, thereflector 100 has a reflector top air gap 104A defined between thereflector top 104 and thehousing interior 220. The reflector top 104 air gap 104A for the preferred embodiment using a 1000 watt double ended HPS lamp is ⅜ of an inch, which providesample cooling chamber 300 space for turbulent air movement as between thereflector top 104 and thehousing interior 220 facilitating adequate cooling while maintaining an acceptably airinsulated housing 200 exterior temperature. - By cutaway illustration with dashed lines in
FIG. 2 , thelamp 2 is shown installed by its ends into thesockets 230A-B within the reflectorinterior side 101 near thereflector top 104. Thelamp 2 is shown oriented parallel to the coolingair stream 310, however, the robust design allows for thelamp 2 to be oriented within thereflector 100 at any diverging angle relative to the coolingair stream 310. - As shown diagrammatically by sectioned view in
FIG. 3 , cooling air directions being depicted by arrows illustrates the coolingair stream 310 as impacted by theflow disruptor 160. In operation, the coolingair stream 310 is being forced to move with a fan (not shown) either by fan push or fan pull through thefirst duct 235, then into and through thecooling chamber 300 to be exhausted out thesecond duct 245. The coolingair stream 310 is diverted and split by aflow disruptor 160 directing part of the air over one side of thereflector exterior 102, the other part over the other side of thereflector exterior 102. The divertedcooling air stream 310 is redirected within the fixture 1 such that moving air is discouraged from pressuring any apertures, gaps, or through holes in thereflector 100. - As depicted in
FIG. 3 and shown inFIG. 3A , theflow disruptor 160 constructed to be deflecting and disrupting to moving air and arranged to attach over at least one socket 230 and enclose at least one aperture 105 such that cooling air moving through thecooling chamber 300 is diverted and disrupted into a more turbulent flow than a laminar flow regime. A preferred embodiment locates theflow disruptor 160 to encourage deflection of moving air away from the sockets 230 and aperture 105 as discussed above, essentially fulfilling two functions, creating turbulence within thecooling chamber 300 while also redirecting moving air away fromreflector areas 100 that may be subject to leaks. Theflow disruptor 160 location is not limited to enclosing the sockets 230 or apertures 105, as aflow disruptor 160 located within thefirst duct 235 or secondannular duct 245, depending on which receives the incomingcooling air stream 310, is effective at introducing turbulence into the coolingair stream 310, and depending on which configuration may be preferred.Additional flow disruptors 160 working independently or in cooperation may be included within thecooling chamber 300 mounted to thereflector 100 or thehousing 200. - The preferred embodiment design of the
flow disruptor 160 shown inFIG. 3A is simply constructed from a firstsheet metal portion 160A and a second sheet metal portion 160B, the preferred metal being steel over aluminum, as the thermal conductivity of theflow disruptor 160 is not as important as the costs associated with manufacture, but in practice both metals are suitable. As shown inFIG. 3A , theflow disruptor 160 is impervious to moving air to facilitate the dual function of deflecting moving air away from the reflector apertures 105 while also creating turbulence within thecooling chamber 300. - As shown in
FIG. 3B , anenhanced flow disruptor 160 havingturbulators 161 illustratively depicted as rows of through holes. Theturbulators 161 could also be fins, blades, vents, or grating, most any disrupting structure, redirecting channel, or obstacle for the coolingair stream 310 will cause turbulence and thereby increase thermal conductivity from thereflector 100 into the coolingair stream 310. - As discussed above, the
reflector 100 is a thermally conductive component of the fixture acting as a heat sink for thelamp 2. Thereflector 100 preferably is constructed from aluminum, which is the favored material because of its relatively high thermal conductivity, easily shaped and formed, and highly reflective when polished. The high thermal conductivity of aluminum provides beneficial heat transfer between the reflectorinterior side 101 to thereflector exterior side 102 thermally transferring or heat sinking through thereflector 100. Steel is also a suitable material, however the lower thermal conductivity makes aluminum thepreferred reflector 100 material. - As shown in the FIGS., openings, gaps, or spaces through the
reflector 100 are preferably filled, blocked, or covered such that the reflectorinterior side 101 is substantially sealed from moving air. As assembled and captured within thehousing 200, afirst socket 230A is disposed to fill areflector 100first aperture 105A sealing thefirst aperture 105A from moving air. A second socket 230B is disposed to fill the second aperture 105B sealing the second aperture 105B against moving air. Thefirst socket 230A and second socket 230B constructed and arranged to cooperatively receive the ends of the double endedHPS lamp 2 as located within the reflectorinterior side 101 between the twosockets 230A-B. As shown from the side inFIG. 2 and by depiction inFIG. 3 , flowdisruptors 160 attach over thesockets 230A-B and over bothapertures 105A-B within the path of the coolingair stream 310. In this way, theflow disruptors 160 enclose any opening or space between eithersocket 230A-B andaperture 105A-B respectively, thereby diverting air moving through thecooling chamber 300 away from any potential opening into the reflectorinterior side 101. Filling of eachaperture 105A-B by partial insert of eachsocket 230A-B requires precise manufacturing tolerances or specially formed sockets 230 in order to prevent or substantially stop moving air from traveling around the socket 230 into the reflectorinterior side 101. Heat resistant sealing mediums like metal tape or high temp calk are available to positively seal the aperture 105 to the socket 230 thereby diverting the coolingair path 310 from entering the reflectorinterior side 101. However, high temperature sealing mediums tend to be expensive, and application of the sealing medium as performed manually is often messy, slow, and leaves one more step in the manufacturing process subject to human error. As discussed herein, a preferred embodiment utilizesflow disruptors 160 constructed from sheet metal that are impervious to air rather than sealing mediums. However sealing mediums if properly applied will work in the place of aflow disruptor 160 for the limited purpose of sealing thereflector interior 101, but lack the aerodynamic structure necessary to disturb the coolingair stream 310 creating turbulence between thefirst socket 230A and second socket 230B for enhanced convective transfer of heat from thereflector 100 into the coolingair stream 310. - In
FIG. 4 a sectional view with a close up of the bottom corner of the fixture 1 showing by illustration thecooling chamber 300 as defined between thereflector 100 and thehousing 200. The coolingchamber 300 is shown in cross section demonstrating from top to bottom the relative size of air space between thereflector 100 and thehousing 200 for the preferred embodiment. As shown, there is only onecontinuous cooling chamber 300, however severalsmaller cooling chambers 300 split bydisruptors 160 or mounting fins between thehousing interior 220 and thereflector 100 provide greater control of the movement of the coolingair stream 310 through the fixture 1. - The lower left close up view shown in
FIG. 4 of the bottom corner of the fixture 1 demonstrates thelower lip 103 of the reflector 100 location as captured within thehousing 200, wherein thelower lip 103 is adjacent to and slightly extending below the housinglower edge 210. As captured, the reflector's 100lower lip 103 and housinglower edge 210 thermally transfer heat energy. This heat sinking occurring between the reflector's 100 hotterlower lip 103 and thehousing 200 coolerlower edge 210 makes thelower lip 103 the coolest part of thereflector 100, making for the most suitable place to seal thereflector 100 using agasket 31. A specially formedreflector lip 103 protectively shadows thegasket 31 from damaging light energy produced by the double endedHPS lamp 2 thereby preventing premature failure of thegasket 31 during operation. As compressed, the gasket seals against the housing edge surface slightly deforming 31A to further seal against thereflector lip 103. In this way, a double redundant seal is provided between the fixture interior and the growing environment, while also providing a positive air tight seal between the coolingchamber 300 and the reflectorinterior side 101 that is not as susceptible to premature seal failure. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , a compressive sealing between aglass sheet 30 and thehousing edge 210 with agasket 31 sandwiched in between thereby seals the growing environment from the fixture interior, in preferred embodiments. Thegasket 31 being located relative to thereflector 100 such that the reflectorlower lip 103 shadows or blocks direct light 2A produced by the lamp from impacting thegasket 31. As shown, theglass sheet 30 is preferably held in place compressively by at least onelatch 32 with enough compressive force to deform thegasket 31. The deformed gasket 31A sealingly contacts thelower lip 103 making a second redundant seal against the coolest part of thereflector 100 at thelower lip 103 which is shadowed and protected from the direct light energy produced by thelamp 2. For a preferred embodiment thegasket 31 is constructed of a porous neoprene material, however many suitable heat resistant gasket materials may be used to construct thegasket 31. - In less preferred embodiments, the
gasket 31 may be, as shown inFIG. 4 , compressed between thelower lip 103 and the perimeter material shown retaining theglass 30 and fastenable to latch 32, but without theglass sheet 30 itself. That is, in less preferred embodiments theglass sheet 30 may be omitted with the structure shown inFIG. 4 still providing isolation between thereflector interior 101 and thecooling chamber 300. As shown, thehousing 200 coolerlower edge 210 may be formed so as to maintain a substantially sealedlower edge 210 portion of thecooling chamber 300. The inventor discovered horticulture applications not requiring the thermal protective aspects (i.e. to protect plants growing under the fixture from burning) benefit from increase light projected from the lamp andreflector interior 101 when aglass sheet 30 is not used with the fixture. Without theglass sheet 30, the inventor discovered, an open (i.e. no glass) air cooled horticulture lighting fixture is provided that beneficially isolates cooling air flow from the lamp, which the inventor discovered in turn improves light performance from the fixture. - In some embodiments, the fixture 1 may comprise an air cooled horticulture lighting fixture having the cooling
chamber 300 and other features previously described, except configured with adifferent flow disruptor 560 as shown inFIG. 5 which is a front end view of a fixture 1 having adifferent flow disruptor 560 structure than shown inFIG. 3 . The coolingair stream 310, as shown, flows in through afirst duct 235 and is diverted by adisruptor 560, with part of the moving air diverted to one side of thereflector exterior 102 by a firstangled surface 502 and part of the moving air diverted to the other side of thereflector exterior 102 by a secondangled surface 504. The divertedcooling air stream 310 is redirected within the fixture 1 such that moving air is discouraged from pressuring any apertures, gaps, or through holes in thereflector 100. - In some embodiments a disruptor such as the
disruptor 560 is oriented in one or the other of thefirst duct 235 or thesecond duct 245, or both thefirst duct 235 and thesecond duct 245, as illustrated inFIG. 2 . In one embodiment, as shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 , adisrupter 560 is oriented in thefirst duct 235 but not thesecond duct 245.FIG. 6 is a rear end view of the fixture depicted inFIG. 5 , according to preferred embodiments, with the coolingair stream 310 flowing over and around thereflector exterior 102 and out of thesecond duct 245. -
FIG. 7 is a top view of the fixture depicted inFIGS. 5 and 6 , according to preferred embodiments, andFIG. 8 is a bottom view of the fixture depicted inFIGS. 5-7 , showing incorporation of a single endedlamp socket 830 protruding from anaperture 805 in the reflectorinterior surface 101, according to preferred embodiments.FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the fixture shown inFIGS. 5-8 , as viewed from below, according to preferred embodiments. - The
socket 830 preferably receives a single ended high pressure sodium horticulture lamp, orienting the (tube shaped) lamp (not shown) to extend from thesocket 830 nearest thefirst duct 235 longitudinally in a direction toward thesecond duct 245. The lamp when fit into thesocket 830 is preferably oriented substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis extending between thefirst duct 235 and thesecond duct 245. In preferred embodiments, the lamp when fit into thesocket 830 is oriented substantially parallel to a plane formed by thelower edges 210 of thehousing 200, or parallel to a plane formed by thelower lip 103 of thereflector 100, and on thereflector interior 101 side of thereflector 100, isolated from the coolingchamber 300. - In preferred embodiments, the portion of the
socket 830 extending through theaperture 805 in thereflector 100 comprises structure that discourages air flow from pressuring theaperture 805, and preferably comprises structure in common with thedisruptor 560.FIG. 10 is a perspective view of an air flow diverter ordisruptor 560 structure, according to various preferred embodiments. Preferably theflow disruptor 560 shown inFIG. 10 is simply constructed from a firstsheet metal portion 560A and a secondsheet metal portion 560B. Also preferably, thedisruptor 560 comprises diverter surfaces 502 and 504 on one end, with similarly angled diverter surfaces on the other end, so that air moving longitudinally in either direction to or from thefirst duct 235 or thesecond duct 245 is diverted around theaperture 805 in thereflector 100 and portions of thesocket 830 extending into thereflector exterior side 102. - The various embodiments described herein may have cooling air pushed or pulled through the
cooling chamber 300 by fan or other forced air apparatus, and in either direction. The robust fixture 1 cools effectively with either a negative pressure or positive pressure within thehousing 200 due to theisolated reflector 100interior side 101. Two fans used in cooperation may be implemented without diverging from the disclosed embodiment, and linking fixtures together along one cooling system is also feasible, similar to current ‘daisy chaining’ configurations. - Also illustrated in
FIGS. 8 and 9 are surface regions ofreflector interior 101, shown numbered consecutively from 852 to 869. Each surface region is preferably (as shown) a flat interior surface of thereflector interior 101. The inventor discovered that using different surface finishes for different regions affect the light intensity directed to particular target areas. Depending upon the particular type of lamp bulb used, choosing a mirror reflective finish, in one embodiment, for regions in the corners—shown numbered consecutively from 852 to 859—and a hammertone reflective surface finish in the side and end regions—shown numbered consecutively from 860 to 869—may soften hot spots in the light projected from the fixture 1 that would otherwise exist if a mirror reflective finish were used. In another embodiment, choosing the reverse—mirror finish in the side and end regions and hammertone finish in the corners—may achieve the softening of hot spots, depending upon the particular type of lamp bulb used, for example whether a double ended HPS bulb or a single ended HPS bulb is used in the horticulture lighting fixture 1 as shown and described in the FIGS. In similar fashion, the inventor discovered that any particular region—any one or more of the regions consecutively numbered from 852 to 869—may comprise a hammertone finish with the rest of the regions being a mirror reflective finish, to maximize the amount of light directed to the plant growing target and selectively soften hot spots that may be characteristic for particular types or manufacture of horticulture high intensity lamp bulbs. - The foregoing detailed description has been presented for purposes of illustration. To improve understanding while increasing clarity in disclosure, not all of the electrical power connection or mechanical components of the air cooled horticulture light fixture were included, and the invention is presented with components and elements most necessary to the understanding of the inventive apparatus.
