Abstract:
A plasma illumination device with microwave pump contains a hermetic housing, provided with a lid with an aperture, in which are axially-positioned a magnetron, and a power source which feeds power to the magnetron. The device contains: a microwave resonator, which is positioned coaxially with the housing and has a translucent side wall and end wall, and a reflective bottom which is installed in the aperture of the housing lid; and an electrodeless plasma lamp, installed in the microwave resonator, in the region of the antinode of the oscillations, with the ability to rotate on a support rod, which rod is affixed by the other end thereof to a drive shaft, and the axis of which is coaxial to the axis of the housing. A coaxial line of communication passes parallel to the axis of the housing and allows for transmitting microwave energy from the magnetron to the microwave resonator, and is provided with a communication loop at the end thereof, said loop being positioned in the microwave resonator. The illumination device contains: a plurality of heat sinks, which are positioned on the inner walls of the housing and which transfer heat from, installed in the housing, the magnetron and power source, which generate heat which is drawn into the external environment via the wall of the housing; and also a translucent hermetic hollow cylinder, which is installed coaxially and hermetically on the lid of the housing above the microwave resonator, and which is used for protecting the microwave resonator against the effects of the external environment.

Abstract:
An article treatment system and method utilizing an air-cooled lamp and having reduced cooling requirement. A power supply responds to a sensor sensing the presence of an article at an article treating location by providing power to an air-cooled lamp, causing the lamp to project radiation onto the article at a radiation level sufficient to effectively treat the article. An air blower blows air onto the lamp, and a blower driver is responsive to the level of the power being provided to the lamp to drive the air blower at a speed blowing air onto the lamp with an air pressure having a non-linear relationship with the power level.
