Low Pressure And Amalgam Uv Lamp

Our low pressure pellet amalgam lamps function with equal efficiency in both horizontal and vertical operations.

Low pressure and amalgam uv lamp.

First light technologies inc. Offers amalgam lamps that deliver up to 3 times the uvc output of standard low pressure uvc lamps. Amalgam lamps use a mercury amalgam mix to control mercury vapor pressure. Low pressure germicidal lamps have an operating lifetime of up to 12 000 hours and convert up to 40 of the lamp s electrical power into uvc offering an efficient and cost effective alternative to medium pressure mercury lamps for water air and surface.

Our companies provide high quality spot amalgam and pellet amalgam lamps in standard and custom configurations. The 800 watt amalgam uv lamp features a specially design secondary control circuit that allows the uv lamp to run at operational powers of only 30 power. Specialty coating eliminates the common problem of accelerated depreciation so often associated with higher intensity lamps. These lamps have a special coating that allows for transmission at 254nm only or 254nm and 185nm for ozone production.

If synthetic quartz glass is used as the lamp material 185 nm uv radiation vacuum uv is emitted in addition to 254 nm for oxidation processes such as the. Compared to 330 watt lamps which can become unstable and extinguish below 60 power the 800 watt amalgam lamp will safely operate between 100 power and 30 power 70 turndown providing significant flexibility to. The lamps tend to be long length around 100cm and emit uv at a high intensity. New high power amalgam lamps are significantly more powerful than low pressure lamps.

The low pressure amalgam lamps achieve ten times the uv power density of standard low pressure lamps and five times more ozone production while operating at a higher temperature than conventional low pressure mercury lamps. Uv low pressure and germicidal lamps heraeus noblelight offers a broad range of uv low pressure lamps manufactured from high quality quartz glass for disinfecting water air and surfaces. Uv technik speziallampen gmbh has been developing manufacturing and marketing uvc low pressure lamps for more than 25 years. Rather than a cold spot the lamp s amalgam spot on pellet regulates mercury vapor pressure during operation and yields up to three times the uvc output of a standard low pressure mercury lamp of the same length.

The uv lamps are suitable for most applications in air and water. Low pressure pellet amalgam lamps function with equal efficiency in both horizontal and vertical operations. Even though more cleaning may be required for medium and amalgam lamp based systems because they have a smaller number of lamps in the uv unit these systems can cost effectively incorporate automatic cleaning systems to remove fouling. These lamps have an operating life of up to 16 000 hours maintaining an end of life uvc output of 85.
