  7. UV Lamp (Cont.) • The lamp is the heart of the UV system. • Lamp power is up to 200 W/cm (36kW). • The lamp, by nature, cannot be switched On or Off instantly. • When the machine is in Idle mode: • The lamp switches to the reduced power level of 30%. • The shutters are closed. • Lamp’s operating temperature is 650°C - 850°C.

  10. Reflectors The Reflectors Upper Shutter Confidential

  11. Reflectors (Cont.) • The reflectors are manufactured from pure aluminum, anodized for protection and treated to give maximum UV reflectivity. • The reflectors absorb heat and reflect UV. • The reflectors minimize the IR power and maximize the UV power. Confidential

  14. Quartz Plate Filter Quartz Plate Filter • The purpose of the quartz plate filter is to: • Prevent the media from touching the reflectors and the UV lamp. • Prevent ink fumes from entering the lamp head. Confidential

  15. Air Extraction Windows Air Extraction Windows • The purpose of the air extraction windows is to: • Allow the lamp head to cool down by extracting the heat fromits vicinity. • Remove the small quantities of ozone that are generated around the lamp. Confidential

  16. Water Tubes and Ducts • The purpose of the water is to cool down the UV lamp head. • The ducts are located around the UV lamp head. Confidential
