Medium Pressure Mercury Lamp Wavelength

Unlike most other uv sources the medium pressure lamp mpl has a polychromatic spectral distribution from 190 nm up to the infrared spectrum.

Medium pressure mercury lamp wavelength.

Medium pressure mercury lamps produce characteristic bands at 313 and 365 nm. Mercury lamps emit sufficient energy above 300 nm at only certain wavelengths which are very useful for monochromatic irradiation and so the spectrum can also be used as a point light source providing uniform irradiation. The uv lamps for water treatment consist of specialized low pressure mercury vapor lamps that produce ultraviolet radiation at 254 nm or medium pressure uv lamps that produce a polychromatic output from 200 nm to visible and infrared energy. The distribution of energy over the wavelength ranges is depicted on the left.

The unfiltered medium pressure mercury lamp provides a broad radiant output of wavelengths between 220 nm and 600 nm. In medium pressure mercury lamps a plasma that emits uv light is generated by applying electrical voltage. In medium pressure mercury vapor lamps the lines from 200 600 nm are present. Even though more cleaning may be required for medium and amalgam lamp based systems because they have a smaller number of lamps in the uv unit these systems can.

For this reason vapourtec offers a range of 9 wavelength filters for use with the medium pressure mercury lamp. Medium pressure lamps produce the greatest uv output per unit length of lamp of the 3 lamp types. Medium pressure mercury arc ushio produces standard and custom uv emitters. The high intensity medium pressure mercury lamp has a broad radiant output providing wavelengths from 220 nm to 600 nm.

Vapourtec offer a range of 9 wavelength filters for use with the mercury pressure mercury lamp. They emit primarily in the blue and green. High pressure mercury vapor lamps are commonly used for general lighting purposes. The uv lamp never contacts the water.

The lamps can be constructed to emit primarily in the uv a around 400 nm or uv c around 250 nm. Our production facility is designed to meet specific customer requirements to produce customized one off lamps as well as achieve consistent quality in mass production.
