Equipment for accelerated solar ageing, comprises a parabolic reflector enclosing a xenon lamp which encircles a white glass sample receptacle and emits luminous pulses equivalent to sunshine

摘要

A sample (6) in a flask (7) is contained in a receptacle (4) with a lid (5). The inner wall (8) of the receptacle is made from white glass and is encircled by a xenon lamp(3) in a container (9) which holds a thermo-optical coupling liquid and a parabolic reflector (10). Electronic/electrical equipment (2) enables the lamp to emit luminous pulses of 5-2000 microseconds and a fan (12) and fins (11) provide cooling
