LAMP SYSTEM WITH CONDITIONED WATER COOLANT AND DIFFUSE REFLECTOR OF POLYTETRAFLUORETHYLENE (TPFE)

摘要

A lamp system with a very soft high-intensity output is provided over a large area by water cooling a long-arc lamp inside a diffuse reflector of polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) white pigment. The water is kept clean and pure by a one micron particulate filter and an activated charcoal/ultraviolet irradiation system that circulates and de-ionizes and biologically sterilizes the coolant water at all times, even when the long-arc lamp is off.
