Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electric incandescent lamp in which a tungsten filament is arranged in a bulb which is pervious to light.
  • the bulb contains, in addition to an inert filling gas, a reactive transport gas the object of which is to prevent blackening of the bulb during burning by means of a regenerative cyclic process in which the tungsten which evaporates from the filament is converted into a volatile compound which decomposes in the proximity of or on the filament.
  • a tungsten filament is understood to include wires or coiled wires of tungsten.
  • the construction of the lamp must be such that the comparatively cold parts of tungsten during burning assume a temperature above approximately 800 C. and the wall of the bulb assumes a temperature above approximately 250 C.
  • a cylindrical bulb of quartz in which a filament of tungsten is arranged along the axis of the cylinder.
  • Such a lamp has a greater efiiciency expressed in lumen/watt than normal incandescent lamps have, while maintaining a substantially constant lumen/Watt output during the whole life of the lamp.
  • the filament fuses at a comparatively hot point.
  • tungsten crystals in the form of dendrites are formed at the ends of the filament, at the points Where the filament is supported, and at, the comparatively cold regions along the filament.
  • the temperature of the entire filament in the presence of chlorine would have to be at least approximately. 2500" C., and in the presence of bromine at least approximately 1700 C. during burning. Structurally this is difiicult to realize with the present materials known for lamp manufacture.
  • iodine as the transport gas provides many drawbacks. For example, it is difiicult to introduce the exact quantity of iodine required in a lamp.
  • the vapor pressure of iodine at room temperature is lower than the pressure required in the lamp for a proper functioning of the tungsten-iodine cycle.
  • the filling is consequently performed usually at temperatures higher than room temperature. In that case it is necessary to accurately control the temperature of the filling device and of the lamp during filling.
  • iodine is very reactive with respect to many metals; consequently the iodine filling device must consist of iodine-resistant material.
  • the tungsten-iodine cycle has been found tobe particularly sensitive to all kinds of impurities. This sensitivity requires that all the materials used for the lamp have to be subjected to an extensive cleaning process. This is particularly true in the case of the tungsten filament.
  • the colour of iodine is undesired in certaincases, in the visible light an absorption of 4 to 5% occurs.
  • an incandescent lamp comprising a tungsten filament, an envelope means containing said filament which has 'a low permeability to hydrogen, an inert filler gas within said envelope, and a gaseous mixture within said envelope selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and chlorine, or hydrogen and bromine.
  • chlorine and hydrogen, and bromine and hydrogen is considerably simpler than of iodine, because these elements are gases or are volatile at room temperature or can be dosed via volatile or gaseous compounds which, in addition, are usually less reactive than iodine.
  • volatile or gaseous compounds are, for example, hydrogen chloride and chlorinated hydrocarbons which, in the case of hydrogen chloride in decomposition supplies chlorine and hydrogen, or in the case of the chlorinated hydrocarbons which, in decomposition form, chloroform, methylene chloride, ethylene dichloride, mixtures of these, or of methane and carbon tetrachloride.
  • the gaseous compounds hydrogen bromide and brominated hydrocarbons which on decomposition, supply bromine and hydrogen in the case of hydrogen bromide and bromoform, methylene bromide, methyl bromide, ethylene-dibromide, mixtures of these or of methane and other hydrocarbons with carbon tetrabromide in the case of the brominated hydrocarbons.
  • chlorinated or brominated hydrocarbon if required together with hydrogen chloride or hydrogen bromide respectively and/or chlorine or bromine and/or hydrogen a carbon getter may also be introduced into the lamp for gettering oxygen which element may disturb the regenerative cyclic process.
  • the filling pressure of hydrogen chloride to be chosen depends in a complicated manner upon the temperature of the filament during burning of the lamp, on the geometry of the lamp and the filling pressure of the inert gas.
  • the most favourable filling pressure of hydrogen chloride can be determined by simple experiment.
  • a favourable filling pressure usually lies between 7 and 14 mm. with respect to hydrogen chloride.
  • the reactive transport gas comprising hydrogen and chlorine need not contain accurately equivalent quantities of chlorine and hydrogen although this is to be preferred.
  • a small excess of hydrogen may be favourable in certain conditions, while a small excess of chlorine need not have a disturbing influence.
  • the best results are obtained when the ratio in gram atoms between chlorine and hydrogen in the gas mixtures lies between 4:5 and 5:4.
  • the lamp In order to lose no tungsten by condensation of tungsten chlorides on the wall of the bulb, iti s to be preferred to construct the lamp so that the wall of the bulb during burning reaches a temperature of approximately 350 C. or higher. Structurally, this can easily be realized. Since no blackening of the bulb occurs by condensation of tungsten on the wall of the bulb the distance between the filament and the wall of the bulb may be chosen to be very small.
  • the wall of the bulb of a lamp containing hydrogen bromide remains transparent. It has been found in addition that a lamp, the wall of the bulb of which is blackened by tungsten deposition, becomes entirely bright after having been filled with HBr or a HBr-supplying substance or mixture of substances after a short period of burning.
  • the filling pressure of hydrogen bromide to be chosen depends upon the temperature of the filament during burning of the lamp, upon the geometry of the lamp and the filling pressure of the inert gas. However, the most favourable filling pressure of hydrogen bromide can be determined for each type of lamp with a restricted series of simple experiments. It has been found that this filling pressure is of minor eriticalness and may lie between 1 mm. and 1 atm. HBr.
  • the reactive transport gas preferably contains nonequivalent quantities of bromine and hydrogen.
  • An excess of hydrogen has been found to be very favourable for the life of the lamp. The best results are obtained when the ratio in gram atoms between bromine and hydrogen in the gas mixture lies between 1:1 and 1:7, although ratios to 1:10 and higher may give good results also; however, the absolute quantity of hydrogen may not become so high that the heat conductivity of the filling gas becomes too great as a result.
  • the lamp In order to lose no tungsten by condensation of tungsten bromides on the wall of the bulb it is recommendable to construct the lamp so that the wall of the bulb during burning reaches a temperature of approximately 300 C. or higher. structurally, this can be simply realized. Since no blackening of the wall occurs by condensation of tungsten on the wall of the bulb the distance between the filament and the wall of the bulb may be chosen to be very small.
  • the lamp may be constructed so that during operation of the lamp at the voltage for which the lamp is designed the temperature of the filament is so high that the resulting life of the filament is already ended before the comparatively cold tungsten parts in the lamp are damaged as a result of chemical attack by chlorine or bromine in a manner which is detrimental to the life of the lamp.
  • Such lamps may be used in optical systems in which it is not so much the long life of the lamp but rather the maintenance of a substantially constant luminous efiiciency per watt during the whole life of the lamp that matters. Examples hereof are, for example, projection lamps, film lamps and photographic lamps, motorcar lamps and lamps for other special uses in which the filament temperature in general exceeds 3000 K. and the guaranteed life of the lamp usually is 15 to hours. It has been found to be very readily possible however to manufacture lamps comprising hydrogen and bromine having life-times of 1000 hours and more.
  • the bulb may also be manufactured from a type of quartz which is less permeable to hydrogen than is melted silicon dioxide. Alternatively, high-melting-point types of glass which do not pass hydrogen could be used.
  • the bulb of a material which passes hydrogen may be provided in a bulb which does not pass hydrogen and the space between the two bulbs may be filled with hydrogen gas or a mixture of hydrogen and an inert gas.
  • a further advantage is that the hydrogen-chlorine and hydrogen-bromine compounds in question substantially always are colourless and that consequently no loss of light occurs by absorption.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-section of an incandescent lamp comprising an inner bulb and an outer bulb wherein the filament is arranged in the inner bulb and a hydrogencontaining gas is present between the inner bulb and the outer bulb, and

  • a coiled filament :1 of tungsten which is connected to molybdenum plates 2 is arranged in a cylindrical bulb 3 of quartz.

  • the metal holders 4 and 5 which also serve as current conductors to the filament 1.
  • the lamp is fixed in an outer bulb 6 of glass or another transparent and gas-tight material.

  • the inner bulb had an inside diameter of 7 /2 mm., a length of 150 mm., and the coiled tungsten filament has a length of approximately 150 cm. and a diameter of 1 mm.
  • the filament had 225 v. applied thereto for a 1000 watt output with a luminous efficiency of 20 lumen/watt.
  • the inner bulb was filled with a mixture of argon and hydrogen chloride which contained 1.6% by volume of hydrogen chloride (partial pressure hydrogen chloride 11.2 mm.) to a pressure of 700 mm.
  • the space between the inner bulb and the outer bulb was filled to a pressure of 200 mm. with a mixture of argon and hydrogen of which the hydrogen content was varied between and 1.0 Torr (00.5% by volume) according to Table 1 below which shows the life of the lamp in accordance with this percentage of hydrogen.
  • the load of the filament was chosen to be so that the life thereof was shorter than the time at which a variation of the chlorine-hydrogen ratio by loss of hydrogen occurred which was detrimental to the life.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross-section of a so-called photographic lamp of 1000 watt, 3400 K. colour temperature at 225 volts and 32 lumen/watt luminous efficiency.
  • the lamp comprises a bulb 3 of quartz having the following dimensions: inside diameter 7.5 mm., length 89 mm.,
  • Reference characters 7 and 8 indicate supports, and 2 indicates a molybdenum plate.
  • the lamps were filled with a mixture of argonnitrogen (8%) and 1.6% by volume of HCl, filling pressure 700 mm.
