摘要:
An ultraviolet flux multiplying air sterilization chamber comprises inner surfaces having a diffuse reflective behavior. The sterilization chamber includes an inlet aperture and an outlet aperture for air to flow through said chamber and a light source emitting an ultraviolet light. Due to the reflectivity of the inner surfaces of the chamber, a flux of the ultraviolet light is multiplied by reflecting multiple times from the inner surfaces of the chamber. The inlet and outlet apertures are advantageously configured to reduce the amount of light that escapes from the chamber and increase the amount of photons available in the chamber. In an exemplary embodiment, perforated end panels having diffuse, reflective interior surfaces may be provided over at least a portion of the inlet and outlet apertures.
摘要:
In an apparatus for curing photosensitive inks and coatings comprising an ultraviolet light emitting lamp unit comprised of a tubular elongated ultraviolet lamp and a reflector, and means for moving a substrate, on which said inks or coatings are deposited, under said lamp unit the improvement wherein said reflector is comprised of a first reflecting means for providing a region of peaked relatively high intensity illumination on said substrate and a second reflecting means for providing a region of relatively lower illumination upstream of said high intensity illumination for pre-curing the ink or coating on said substrate.
