Abstract:
A fluid cooled light emitting diode and associated lighting unit is disclosed. A fluid, preferably a liquid, cools and stabilizes the p-n junction of the Sight emitting diode thereby reducing the energy required to power the fight emitting diode, lengthening its usable lifetime, and outputting more consistent light The fluid cools the lens surrounding the light emitting diode, a printed circuit board on which the light emitting diode resides, or other heat transferring elements proximate to the lens of the light emitting diode.

The present invention relates to a cooling device for an LED light source using a non- conductive liquid includes an LED light source where a PCB having a plurality of LEDs mounted thereon is received in a transparent device. The cooling device for an LED device includes a heat-dissipation device communicated with the transparent device by the a liquid circulation tube based on the heat-dissipation device directly attached to the transparent device of the LED light source; a cooling fan that is provided at the central portion of the heat-dissipation device; a buffer plate that is disposed at a lower portion of the cooling fan and has a function of preventing a leakage of liquid from the heat-dissipation device; a non-conductive liquid that is filled and circulated inside the transparent device of the LED light source; and a pump that is installed on the liquid circulation tube to circulate the non-conductive liquid.
Abstract:
A liquid circulation cooling system for electronic devices comprising pumping means, refrigerant liquid cooling means and a heat exchange device in thermal contact with at least one heat-generating electronic device, said heat exchange device comprising a channel through which flows the refrigerating liquid, said channel having a tri-dimensional configuration. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the channel is formed by the gap enclosed by two substantially conical surfaces substantially concentric to each other. The walls of the channel may be provided with turbulence inducing elements to enhance the thermal energy transfer to the refrigerating liquid. According to yet another feature of the invention, the efficiency of the thermal energy transfer is enhanced by means of an area increase of the surface in contact with the refrigerant liquid by providing unevenness in said surface. According to a further feature of the invention, said unevenness consists of concave or convex elements provided in said surface. According to another feature of the invention, in preferred embodiments the increase in thermal energy transfer is provided by turbulence-inducing elements provided in the channel through which the refrigerant liquid circulates.
Abstract:
Water or air is directed through a hood (100) or double cylinder cooling device (110) for providing cooling to one or more light bulbs (150) used in growing plants in greenhouses, aquarium, and hydroponic applications. A water recirculation system with a reservoir and a pump may provide a flow of cooling water through tubing to the hood. The hood provides a housing and a tube which contains one or more light bulbs which can be accessed or replaced through an end of the tube which projects through the housing. The light holder includes an enclosed electric box and a plurality of curved fins which expand against the inside glass tube. Various reflector housing shapes and reflectors direct light to plants. The end cap is bolted to a split ring flange attached to the outer tube.

Gemäß der Erfindung besteht das Gehäuse (1,3) aus einem isolierenden Material und weist einen Zulauf (5) und einen Ablauf (6) für ein an dem Leuchtmittel (8) vorbeiströmendes Kühlmittel auf.
Abstract:
A protection device that avoids contact between a high intensity radiation source and particulate matter such as dust and debris generated by it. The protection device comprises a housing member lined with a reflective coating and in contact with a cooling unit, at least one radiation source, at least one bend in the housing device, and an opening. Any direct route from the opening to the radiation source is eliminated by the bend, reducing the possibility that particulates will contact the radiation source. This risk can be further diminished by the inclusion of at least one fluid shield generator, such as a fan. The protection device is particularly useful for protecting white light arc lamps, while in use.
Abstract:
A device for trapping all available light and organizing it into any given beam by means of an optical device which, by forcing a fluid to rotate in a suitably-shaped space (1) (revolution or non-revolution of a logarithmic spiral arc), enables a temperature gradient to be created, thus causing a refractive index gradient to be maintained in a fluid chosen for its ability to transmit or absorb part of the light flux according to the wavelength thereof. All the light may be concentrated and channeled in the desired direction while the heat energy not needed for visual projection is removed. A spotlight or still picture projector having excellent optical efficiency (no heat-absorbing glass) and unlimited power may thereby be obtained.
Abstract:
A lighting assembly is disclosed which comprise a housing (12), a transparent or translucent lens (24) fitted to the housing and a light source (44) behind the lens. The lens (24) comprises a front wall and a rim (48) encircling the front wall on the rear side of the front wall. The light source (44) is located in the space between the front wall of the lens (24) and the rearward facing free edge of the rim (48). The assembly can further include an air / water mixing element (1 10) within the housing (12), the mixing element (1 10) including a channel (120) which increases in cross-sectional area from its inlet towards its outlet end. There is a water inlet to said housing. The water inlet is connected to the inlet end of the channel (120). An air inlet to said housing (12) is provided, the air inlet also being connected to the channel (120) so that mixed air and water flows along said channel to its outlet end.
