Definitions
- the invention relates to a discharge lamp. More specifically, the invention relates to a high intensity discharge lamp with a discharge vessel and an outer bulb arranged around the discharge vessel.
- Discharge lamps specifically HID (high-intensity discharge) lamps are used for a large area of applications where energy efficiency and high light intensity are required. Especially in the automotive field, HID lamps are used as vehicle headlamps.
- a discharge lamp comprises two electrodes arranged at a distance within a discharge vessel. An arc discharge is generated between the electrodes. Different types of fillings within the discharge vessel are known, distinguishing mercury vapor, metal halide and other types of lamps.
- lamps for use in a vehicle head-light have an outer bulb which is arranged around the discharge vessel at a distance therefrom.
- a known type of such a lamp is designed for a nominal power of 35 W and achieves a high efficacy of 80-90 lm/W. After starting such a lamp, a run-up current of, for example, 2.7-3.2 A is necessary, and a run-up power of 75-80 W is used.
- the complete HID system comprising lamp, ballast and igniter must be able to operate as these values.
- US-A-2005/0248278 shows an example of an automotive head lighting discharge lamp with a power of 30 W.
- the lamp has a ceramic discharge vessel comprising the electrodes, which is surrounded by an outer bulb. The distance between the electrode tips is 5 mm.
- the discharge vessel has cylindrical shape with an internal diameter of 1.2 mm.
- the wall thickness of the discharge vessel is 0.4 mm.
- the discharge vessel comprises a filling which is free from mercury and comprises NaPrI and ZnI 2 as well as Xe with a filling pressure of 16 bar.
- the outer bulb is made of quartz glass and is arranged at a distance of 0.5 mm to the discharge vessel.
- the outer bulb is filled with N 2 with a filling pressure of 1.5 bar at room temperature.
- thermal design of the lamp needs to be adapted to the lower power.
- the “coldest spot”-temperature needs to be maintained at a high level to achieve good lamp efficacy.
- thermal load on a “hot spot” needs to be constrained in order to achieve good durability. This has led the inventors to propose a lamp with a relatively small discharge vessel, leading to reduced heat radiation, while still maintaining a sufficiently thick wall of the discharge vessel to not only withstand high internal pressure, but specifically to allow heat conduction from the hot upper side (“hot spot”) to the colder lower side.
- the discharge vessel is maintained with a substantial wall thickness of 1.4-2 mm, and preferably also a relatively small inner diameter from 2-2.7 mm.
- An outer bulb is arranged around the discharge vessel.
- the outer bulb is sealed and has a gas filling with a thermal conductivity ⁇ .
- the thermal conductivity ⁇ of the outer bulb filling is taken at 800° C.
- the geometry of the outer bulb (here specifically: the distance d 2 between the discharge vessel and the outer bulb) and the gas filling are chosen to achieve a certain, limited heat flow from the discharge vessel to the outside.
- the thermal conductivity ⁇ of the gas filling and the distance d 2 are chosen to obtain a desired heat transition coefficient ⁇ /d 2 calculated as the thermal conductivity ⁇ divided by the distance d 2 . According to the invention, this coefficient is below 150 W/(m 2 K).
- the distance d 2 is measured in cross-section of the lamp taken at a central position between the electrodes.
- the outer bulb therefore plays an important part in the thermal design of the lamp. While on one hand thermal radiation is limited by the limited size of the discharge vessel, heat conduction in radial direction of the lamp is further limited by the geometry and filling of the outer bulb. As will be explained in relation to the preferred embodiment, the amount of heat transported per time unit between the discharge vessel and the outer bulb, both at their constant operating temperature, is roughly proportional to the defined heat transition coefficient. Thus, by choosing the heat transition coefficient to be below 150 W/(m 2 K), cooling is limited, such that sufficient high coldest spot temperatures, and thus high efficacy are maintained. To achieve a desired, high enough coldest spot temperature the heat transition coefficient is preferably equal to or less than 130 W/(m 2 K), most preferably even lower ⁇ 100 W/(m 2 K). It is further preferred for the heat transition coefficient to be at least 10 W/(m 2 K), further preferred at least 15 W/(m 2 K).
- a lamp according to the invention is especially suited for a nominal power of 20-30 W.
- the filling of the discharge vessel is preferably free of mercury and may comprise one or more metal halides and a rare gas.
- the filling of the discharge vessel comprises one or more of the following: NaI, ScI 3 , ZnI 2 .
- the outer bulb is preferably made out of quartz glass and may be of any geometry, e.g. cylindrical, generally elliptical or other. It is preferred for the outer bulb to have an outer diameter of at most 10 mm.
- the outer bulb is sealed and has a gas filling at a pressure of 10 mbar to 1 bar, preferably below 1 bar, most preferably 50 mbar to 300 mbar.
- the gas filling may essentially consist (i.e. comprise more than 50%, preferably more than 90%) of one or more of the following: Xe, Ar, N 2 , O 2 .
- the distance d 2 between the outer bulb and the discharge vessel is preferably 0.1-1.4 mm, most preferably 0.3-0.8 mm.
- the filling gas, pressure and distance d 2 may only be chosen dependent on one another to achieve the desired heat transition coefficient.
- the discharge vessel is made from quartz glass.
- the distance between the electrodes is preferably 2.5-5.5 mm.
- the optical distance i.e. the distance as viewed from the outside, taking into account magnification of the discharge vessel wall acting as a lens
- the discharge vessel has a shape such that in a cross-section taken at the central position between the electrodes the wall of the discharge vessel is at least substantially circular.
- the discharge vessel when viewed in longitudinal section, has at least substantially elliptical outer shape and may have either elliptical or cylindrical inner shape.
- the wall thickness w 1 it is preferred for the wall thickness w 1 to be in the range from 1.55-1.85 mm.
- the discharge vessel when viewed in longitudinal section, has elliptical or cylindrical inner shape and concave outer shape, i.e. starting from the central position between the electrodes the outer diameter of the discharge vessel increases towards both sides.
- the wall thickness w 1 it is preferred for the wall thickness w 1 to be in the range from 1.4-2 mm.

- FIG. 8 shows a graph representing measured values of lumen output over time (run-up) for a lamp according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of a first embodiment 10 of a discharge lamp.
- the lamp comprises a socket 12 with two electrical contacts 14 which are internally connected to a burner 16 .
- the burner 16 is comprised of an outer bulb 18 of quartz glass surrounding a discharge vessel 20 .
- the discharge vessel 20 is also made of quartz glass and defines an inner discharge space 22 with projecting electrodes 24 .
- the glass material from the discharge vessel further extends in longitudinal direction of the lamp 10 to seal the electrical connections to the electrodes 24 which comprise a flat molybdenum foil 26 .
- the outer bulb 18 is arranged around the discharge vessel 20 at a distance, thus defining an outer bulb space 28 .
- the outer bulb space 28 is sealed.
- the discharge vessel 20 has an outer wall 30 arranged around the discharge space 22 .
- the discharge space 22 is of ellipsoid shape.
- the outer shape of the wall 30 is ellipsoid.
- the discharge vessel 20 is characterized by the electrode distance d, the inner diameter d 1 of the discharge vessel 20 , the wall thickness w 1 of the discharge vessel, the distance d 2 between the discharge vessel 20 and the outer bulb 18 and the wall thickness w 2 of the outer bulb 18 .
- the values d 1 , w 1 , d 2 , w 2 are measured in a central perpendicular plane of the discharge vessel 20 , as shown in FIG. 2a .
- the lamp 10 is operated, as conventional for a discharge lamp, by igniting an arc discharge between the electrodes 24 .
- Light generation is influenced by the filling comprised within the discharge space 22 , which is free of mercury and includes metal halides as well as a rare gas.
- the filling of the discharge space 22 comprises about 17 bar cold xenon pressure and as metal halides 36 wt % NaI, 24 wt % ScI 3 and 40 wt % ZnI 2 .
- the geometric design of the lamp 10 is chosen according to thermal considerations.
- the “coldest spot” temperature should be kept high to achieve high efficacy.
- the thickness of the wall 30 should be small enough to allow a quick run-up with limited run-up current, but should not be too small in order to still achieve good heat conduction from the “hot spot” in order to reduce thermal load.
- the inner diameter d 1 should not be too small in order to reduce excessive thermal load at the “hot spot”.
- the outer bulb 18 instead of a significant reduction of the thickness w 1 of the wall 30 .
- this has proven to also serve to maintain a good lamp lifetime.
- the outer bulb 18 is sealed and filled with a filling gas of reduced heat conductivity. Especially Argon and Xenon are preferred here, but O 2 or N 2 could be used as well.
- the outer bulb filling is provided at reduced pressure (measured in the cold state of the lamp at 20° C.).
- a suitable filling gas has to be made in connection with the geometric arrangement in order to achieve the desired heat conduction from discharge vessel 20 to outer bulb 18 via a suitable heat transition coefficient ⁇ /d 2 .
- the heat conduction to the outside may be roughly characterized by a heat transition coefficient ⁇ /d 2 , which is calculated as the thermal conductivity ⁇ of the outer bulb filling divided by the distance d 2 between the discharge vessel 20 and the outer bulb 18 .
- ⁇ dot over (q) ⁇ ⁇ grad ⁇
- ⁇ dot over (q) ⁇ the heat flux density, i.e. the amount of heat transported per time between discharge vessel and outer bulb.
- ⁇ is the thermal conductivity
- grad ⁇ is the temperature gradient, which here may roughly be calculated as the temperature difference between discharge vessel and outer bulb, divided by the distance:
- FIG. 7 shows the dependence of the heat transition coefficient ⁇ /d 2 on the distance d 2 for different outer bulb fillings. It is clearly visible how Argon, and especially Xenon (provided here at a reduced pressure of 200 mbar) have significantly lower heat conductivity than air, and that the heat transition coefficient ⁇ /d 2 is further reduced with increasing distance d 2 . The heat transition coefficient was found to differ more strongly with the gas composition, and less with the pressure, if it is in the range from about 10 mbar to about 1 bar.
- FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the invention.
- a lamp 110 according to the second embodiment comprises a discharge vessel 120 of different internal shape.
- the remaining parts of the lamp correspond to the lamp 10 according to the first embodiment.
- Like elements will be designated by like reference numerals, and will not be further described in detail.
- the discharge vessel 120 of the lamp 110 has external ellipsoid shape, identical to the discharge vessel 20 according to the first embodiment.
- the internal discharge space 22 is cylindrical. Both the length and diameter of the inner discharge space 22 however are as in the above first embodiment. It should be noted that the term “cylindrical” used here refers to the central, largest part of the discharge space 22 and does not exclude—as shown—conical end portions.
- the wall 130 surrounding the discharge space 22 is consequently of varying thickness, with the thickness being greatest at a position corresponding to the center between the electrodes 24 , and decreasing towards both sides.
- FIGS. 3-4a A lamp 110 according to the second embodiment again in large parts corresponds to the lamp 10 according to the above first and second embodiments. Like elements will be designated by like reference numerals and will not be further described in detail.
- the lamp 210 differs from the lamp 10 by the concave outer shape of the discharge vessel 120 .
- the inner discharge space 22 remains roughly ellipsoidal as in the first embodiment.
- the wall 230 surrounding the discharge space 22 has a varying wall thickness such that its outer shape is concave.
- geometrical parameters d 1 , w 1 , d 2 , w 2 are measured in a central plane of the discharge vessel 220 .
- FIG. 6 shows a fourth embodiment of the invention, which in large parts corresponds to the third embodiment according to FIG. 4-5a .
- like elements are designated by like reference numerals and will not be further described in detail.
- a lamp 310 has a discharge vessel 320 with a concave outer shape, but an inner discharge space 22 of cylindrical shape.
- the thickness of the wall 230 , 330 surrounding the discharge space 22 varies such that it is minimal in a position corresponding to the center between the electrodes 24 and increases towards both sides. This leads to a lens effect, such that the electrode distance d will appear to the outside smaller than it actually is.
- the real electrode distance may be, e.g. 4.8 mm in the third and in the forth embodiment. The possibility to thus increase the real electrode distance d but maintain the optical distance gives to the lamp designer a further degree of freedom. Since the operating voltage increases with the electrode distance, it is possible to obtain a higher voltage.
- This may be used to provide a lamp which is compatible with ECE R99 geometrically (optical distance 4.2 mm), but—as a mercury-free-lamp—fulfills the electric requirements of a D2 lamp (voltage more than 68 V).
- the first and second embodiment (elliptical outer shape) it is also possible to provide a larger electrode distance to obtain a lamp, which is not according to ECE R99, but may be operated with higher voltage.
- FIG. 8 shows measurement results of run-up tests, where a 25 W lamp according to the above example 1 was compared to a reference lamp (35 W lamp). The lumen output was measured and is shown in FIG. 8 over the time since ignition of the lamp. As is known for starting the lamps, in a first phase, the current is limited to a maximum value, and in a second phase, the power is controlled.
- the reference lamp reaches about 50% of the total lumen output after 4 seconds. But this requires a maximum run-up current of 3.2 A, resp. a maximum power of around 75 W.
- the 25 W lamp according to example 1 was first driven with a current limitation in the first phase of 1.1 A. Here, the results (less then 30% after 4 seconds) were not satisfactory. However, with a run-up current limitation of 1.5 A (maximum power about 50 W), the lamp according to example 1 shows a quite comparable behavior to the reference, whereas the run-up current is less then half and the maximum run-up power is reduced by about 30%.
- the lifetime performance within the first 1500 hours of operation for lamps according to the above embodiments corresponds to the reference (a 35 W lamp).
- the above embodiments provide lamps with good lifetime, good efficacy and good run-up behavior, which all correspond to the reference lamps, but at lower required run-up current and lower steady-state power.
