Polycrystal translucent alumina ceramic tube (PCA tube) and electric arc tube
 

PCA tube for ceramic metal halide lamp

It is the extremely pure sintered aluminum oxide ceramic tube with an exceptional degree of translucency. The design of PCA shape is the first step to be considered in the production. It is not only to ensure that molding easily but also to meet the requirements of arc tube packaging and lifetime. Based on the study of the theory of the latest technology, we got a certain understanding about the complex process of plasma discharge when CMH working, then simulated modeling experiment through computer, balanced the relationship between forming and lifetime. We calculated and designed PCA diameter, electrode tube length, R radian and thickness, and fully considered discharge inside volume, internal surface area and wall load, finalized the dimensions of our PCA. Good design will be enable the lamp to keep many advantages such as excellent color rendering, high color stability and light color consistency, high light efficiency and long life.

Electric arc tube for making high pressure sodium lamp

Our electric arc tube are made from our PCA tube of type FTW, FTT and ZTT with high quality electrodes of columbium tube or columbium wire by special equipments. They are the main components in HPS lamp.  The arc tube has a high pressure inside for higher efficiency. Sodium, mercury and xenon are usually used inside the arc tube. The arc tube is made of aluminum oxide ceramic which is resistant to the corrosive effects of alkalis like sodium. We can supply European standard and American standard and the other special types according to the requirement.
