Definitions
- This invention relates to a filter for use with ventilated electrical equipment.
- Ventilated electrical equipment especially lighting, suffers from the entry of moisture, dirt and corrosive chemicals into what appear to be sealed areas of the equipment. This entry causes deterioration and ultimate breakdown of the equipment.
- the root cause of the entry of potentially harmful fluids/contaminants is primarily the result of the expansion and contraction of air within the electrical equipment caused by changes in temperature.
- FIG. 1 is a standard light fitting. It is however understood the process is equally applicable to many other types of electrical equipment such as motors, transformers, junction boxes and cables.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a conventionally sealed lighting system in which enclosure E contains a light bulb L and a cover C closes off the enclosure via a peripheral gasket or seal S.
- enclosure E contains a light bulb L and a cover C closes off the enclosure via a peripheral gasket or seal S.
- the air immediately surrounding the lighting equipment is indicted as SA the ambient air is indicated as A.
- Step 1 At installation the light is connected and closed up, trapping air inside the enclosure. The air is now at ambient temperature and pressure.
- Step 2 The lamp is energised and starts to radiate 80% or more energy as heat into the trapped air, heating the air quite effectively. The increased temperature increases the internal pressure.
- Step 3 The pressurised internal air now finds ways to escape into the ambient air, which is at a lower pressure and temperature than the air inside the light. This escape is notwithstanding the presence of seals. The escape of the pressurised internal air takes place until the internal pressure is equal to the ambient pressure.
- Step 4 The lamp is then switched off, allowing the internal air to cool and the pressure decreases which reverses the process in step three and causes entry of air into the enclosure.
- This process is exasperated by some still further less obvious activity, such as the air in the immediate vicinity of the light is warmed by radiated heat from the light.
- This heating would initially lower the relative humidity of the air immediately surrounding the light but is quickly balanced by diffusion from the ambient air, effectively creating a pocket of warm air at the same relative humidity as the ambient air.
- This warm air enters the enclosure when the light is switched off. When the light reaches ambient temperature the excess moisture trapped inside cannot diffuse into the external air but condenses onto some surface like the lens of the light.
- step 1 When the lamp is energised again and step 1 starts the heated air expands and leaves the light much faster than the condensate can evaporate. Thus most of the collected moisture remains inside the light.
- the internal pressure stabilises, the internal air warms up and the remaining condensate evaporates into it.
- the lamp is later switched off, another load of slightly more humid air enters the light. This soon forms a heavy deposit of condensate collecting on the inside of the enclosure.
- the entry of air also has the habit of drawing in fine dust and any other corrosive materials that might be present in the air. Electrical faults occur when the condensate or carbon deposits create alternative circuits. In acid or salt laced air the conductivity of the trapped condensate may be several orders higher than fresh water, thus further contributing to breakdown of the electrical system.
- the cyclic system described above concentrates the contaminates in the condensate and while the lamp supplies heat that speeds up the corrosive action compared with the same material at lower concentration and temperatures.
- the normally insignificant contribution of capillary action is increased significantly by the suction of a cooling light.
- seals are very effective to stop particulate and liquids entering an enclosure, this effectiveness is particularly increased if they can be compressed into seats. This is not always possible particularly where the equipment has to be readily dismantled for service.
- an electrical equipment comprises a sealed chamber in which an electrical appliance is housed, and a multi-stage breather filter attached to the sealed chamber whereby in use heat generated by the electrical appliance causes air flow through the filter and also dries moisture collected by the filter.
- the multi-stage filter comprises a filter housing defining an airflow passageway, the passageway including successive filter stages defined by
- the passageway defines an air inlet at one end and an outlet at the other, the outlet being coupled to the electrical equipment.
- FIG. 2 which is a schematic illustration of a light fitting incorporating a filter in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a driving light incorporating a filter of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of a light fitting that comprises a rectangular enclosure 10 that contains a light bulb 11 .
- the enclosure 10 is sealed by an external cover 12 via a peripheral seal or gasket 13 .
- a filter 20 in the form of a cascade filter is adapted to be coupled to the enclosure.
- the cascade filter comprises a cylindrical housing 21 open at both ends 22 and 23 to define a fluid passageway. One end 23 is in fluid communication with the enclosure 10 .
- the cylindrical housing 21 includes a block 25 of silica gel granules adjacent the end 23 that is attached to the housing 11 .
- the block 25 of gel is positioned slightly spaced apart from a block 26 of activated carbon granules.
- a membrane barrier 27 is positioned on top of the activated carbon block 26 in close proximity to the outlet 22 of the housing 21 .
- the filter 20 is designed so that air can flow in and out of the filter as described below.
- the filter operates in the following manner. Initially the light goes through the three steps described in the introduction of the specification. Step 4 starts when the lamp 11 is switched off and the internal air starts to cool and the pressure decreases whereby drawing air into the enclosure 10 through the cascade filter 20 .
- the air first passes through the micro-porous membrane 27 that is fabricated from PTFE or other such material. This membrane 27 filters out particulate matter to a predetermined size, typically to sub-micron level.
- the membrane also forms a vapour barrier that stops water entering. This can include pressurised water and detergents from high pressure cleaners.
- the air then passes through the activated carbon block 26 that strips most corrosive chemicals and free radical oxidants through adsorption. After leaving the activated carbon block 26 the air passes through silica gel 25 that dehydrates the air further. The air then enters the enclosure 10 at ambient temperature and pressure containing no moisture or corrosive agents. When the light is switched on and starts to radiate 80% or more energy as heat into the trapped air, the air heats up effectively increasing its temperature and pressure. The pressurised internal air now exits the filter 20 until the internal pressure is equal to the ambient pressure. When the lamp is switched off the operation is repeated. In this manner the cyclic turning on and off of the lamp does not draw moisture or corrosive elements into the enclosure.
- the filter 20 effectively cleans the air mechanically and chemically to a level that prevents deterioration of the optical surface through corrosion and contamination. This ensures that the light effectively retains the light output and distribution to which it was originally designed, whilst extending its operational life significantly. Because the exiting air is hot and at a higher pressure than the ambient air, it dries out the silica gel 25 on the way out removing the moisture to the atmosphere. Thus all the benefits of higher volumetric moisture capacity of warm air accrues to the recycling system.
- the PTFE membrane 27 is self cleaning because dirt does not stick to it.
- FIG. 2 is merely a schematic illustration of the introduction of the filter it will be understood that electrical equipment would be designed to incorporate the filter at the design phase of the product.
- FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of a driving light for a vehicle that incorporates a breather filter 20 of the kind described above.
- the driving light 30 shown in FIG. 3 includes a lens 31 that is in sealed attachment to a parabolic reflector 32 that in turn houses an appropriate light bulb 33 contained in the optical cavity 35 .
- the reflector 32 lens 31 and light bulb 33 are all supported by a housing 34 that surrounds the rear of the reflector and includes a mounting bracket 39 .
- the housing 34 is also coupled to an electrical lead 36 that is wired to the rear of the light bulb through a sealed cap 37 at the rear of the optical cavity 35 .
- the housing 34 includes an air cavity 38 to the rear of light that is in fluid communication with the optical cavity 35 .
- the multi-stage filter 20 Interposed in series with the optical cavity 35 and the air cavity 38 is the multi-stage filter 20 .
- the air cavity 38 is in direct communication with the external atmosphere.
- the multi-stage filter 20 comprises microporous filter mediums 40 and 41 at the air entry side and optical cavity 35 side of the filter. Between the two microporous filters is a cavity 42 filled with deactivated carbon on the optical cavity side and a cavity 43 filled with silica gel on the air entry side of the filter.
- the wavy line on FIG. 3 indicates the air path in and out of the optical cavity 35 via the multi-staged filter 20 .
- Suitable filter media should have a collection efficiency over a wide range of particle sizes. There are many adequate filter media that have adequate flow and resistant properties.
- absorbent materials include: physisorbers (e.g. silica gel, activated carbon, activated alumina, molecular sieves, etc.); chemisorbers (e.g. potassium permanganate, potassium carbonate, potassium iodide, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, powered metals or other reactants for scavenging gas phase contaminants); ion exchange materials; catalytic fillers; as well as mixtures of these materials.
- physisorbers e.g. silica gel, activated carbon, activated alumina, molecular sieves, etc.
- chemisorbers e.g. potassium permanganate, potassium carbonate, potassium iodide, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, powered metals or other reactants for scavenging gas phase contaminants
