ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION LAMP AND SOURCE MODULE AND TREATMENT SYSTEM CONTAINING SAME

摘要

The invention relates to an ultraviolet radiation lamp. The lamp comprises a
substantially sealed cavity comprising a mercury-containing material; a
filament disposed in the sealed cavity; and an electrical control element in
contact with the filament, the electrical control element configured to adjust
or maintain a temperature of the mercury-containing material with respect to a
prescribed temperature. Such a constructions allows the present ultraviolet
radiation lamp to be operated at optimal efficiency without the need to use
additional components to add heat to and/or remove heat from the mercury-
containing material.
