Just when Italy becomes a leading player in aerospace research, IREM confirms itself as a leader in the production of igniters for powering short arc Xenon lamps for solar simulation technology.
The areas of use of Xenon lamps range from aerospace research to scientific research up to industrial processes and material qualification.
In the context of solar simulation, the light source is fundamental: typically consisting of a powerful Xenon gas discharge lamp capable of emitting white light very close to the solar spectrum (about 6000 K) whose performance, duration and stability depend on the quality of the power supplies and igniters used to power it.
The main features of the power supplies and specific igniters for DC Xenon gas discharge lamps for solar simulation produced by IREM are:
IREM electronic ballasts
- Reliability
- Low current ripple
- Stabilized lamp current
- Programmable and monitorable lamp parameters
- High efficiency
- Single-phase versions with PFC from 150W up to 3000W
- Three-phase versions from 1000W up to 10kW
- Analogue remote control (dry contacts)
- Digital remote control (RS-232, RS-485 – IREM protocol)
- Limited dimensions and weights
- Rack mount versions
IREM igniters
- Reliability
- Limited dimensions and weights
- Suitable for hot re-ignition
