There is a close relationship between the luminous efficiency of halogen lamps and the temperature of tungsten wires. The following is a detailed analysis of this relationship:
- The effect of tungsten wire temperature on the luminescence of halogen lamps
As the temperature rises, the luminous efficiency increases:
When the tungsten wire temperature of a halogen lamp rises, its luminous efficiency will also increase accordingly. This is because the tungsten wire can emit more visible light at high temperatures, which increases the brightness of the halogen lamp.
Temperature range:
When the halogen lamp is working, the temperature of the tungsten wire can reach about 2500 to 3000 degrees Celsius. This high temperature range is the basis for the halogen lamp to emit bright white light.
- The specific relationship between luminous efficiency and tungsten wire temperature
Thermal radiation principle:
The luminous principle of halogen lamps is mainly based on thermal radiation. When current passes through the tungsten wire, the tungsten wire heats up due to resistance heating, and then emits light. As the temperature rises, the thermal radiation intensity of the tungsten wire increases, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the halogen lamp.
Limitations of improving light efficiency:
Although increasing the temperature of the tungsten wire can increase the light efficiency of the halogen lamp, excessively high temperature will also accelerate the evaporation and loss of the tungsten wire. Therefore, the design of halogen lamps needs to strike a balance between luminous efficiency and life. By filling halogen gas and optimizing the filament structure, the service life of the halogen lamp can be extended while ensuring sufficient brightness.
- The role of halogen gas in improving light efficiency
Halogen cycle:
The halogen gas (such as iodine or bromine) filled inside the halogen lamp will react chemically with the evaporated tungsten atoms at high temperature to generate tungsten halogen vapor. These tungsten halogen vapors will decompose into tungsten atoms and halogen gas again when they diffuse to colder areas, and the tungsten atoms will be deposited back on the surface of the filament. This process is called the halogen tungsten cycle or regeneration cycle.
Slowing down the loss of filaments:
The existence of the halogen cycle can slow down the loss rate of the filament, thereby extending the service life of the halogen lamp. At the same time, halogen gas can also increase the brightness of the bulb, making the halogen lamp have a higher light efficiency at the same power.
