A SIMULATION MODEL OF HID LAMPS BASED UPON AN ENERGY BALANCE

摘要

A simulation model of HID lamps based upon an energy balance has been investigated. For the high pressure sodium lamps, calculated results were compared with measured results and a good agreement has been attained over the wide lamp parameter region. For the Sc-Na metal halide lamp, comparatively good agreement has been obtained and more refinement of used chemical and physical data is necessary. For the inductively coupled electrodeless metal halide lamp, simulation model is at the starting point.
