Abstract: 4677. Blondel, A. Feb. 26. Arc lamps.-In an enclosed arc-lamp using mineralized electrodes, gase3 from the arc pass upwards through an orifice, and, after purification, are returned through a second orifice below the arc and coaxial with the first, circulation being obtained either by the division of the purifying-chamber by a vertical heat-insulating partition, or by the use of an electrically-driven fan. A cover 13, Figs. 1 and 3, preferably extending a little way into the globe, closes the latter except for the orifice 8. When natural circulation is relied on, the purifying - chamber 10, Fig. 1, is annular and the partition 20 cylindrical; the outer wall of the chamber may be corrugated, grooved, or ribbed to promote cooling. Chemicals 27 such as alkaline carbonates, ferrous salts, or iron shavings, adapted to absorb nitrous fumes, may be placed within the chamber. Tubes 16 convey the gases to the lower orifice 9, and are provided with plugs 19 to allow access for cleaning. Both carbons are movable, the upper one through an " economiser " 6. The regulating-mechanism is contained in a box 1. A lamp with downwardlyconverging electrodes is similarly arranged, except that both electrodes pass through the economizer. Fig. 3 shows the chamber 10, which here contains baffle-plates 25, netting 26, chemicals 27, and a fan 21, arranged above the regulating-mechanism and communicating by tubes 17, 18 with two orifices. The fan 21 is driven by a motor 22, preferably having its armature and field coils connected in parallel with each other and in series with the arc. A glass cup 28 is arranged as shown. In two other lamps each having the regulating-mechanism above the purifying-chamber, the latter is cylindrical and has a cylindrical partition, the gases passing upwards through the inner space thus provided. A fan is arranged either at the upper end of the chamber or in a box under the globe, through which vertical tubes extend in the latter case. The upper electrode in each of these lamps is of non- consuming material such as metal. The invention is applicable to multiple-carbon lamps.
