Cooling voltage, sources

In the TSDC considered here, a sample is cooled to a low temperature ( 100K) and illuminated with 3 X 10 lx hght for a time tp ( 4min) in the presence of an applied DC field (E = 5 X 10" V/cm). Then, the light and voltage are switched off the structure is short-circuited and, after a delay period necessary for sample relaxation (to reach equihbrium between the free and the trapped carriers), the sample is heated in the darkness at a constant rate Vt while the TSDC is measured. We preferred TSDC experiments because of the absence of noise due to a voltage source and the strongly reduced influence of the intrinsic conductivity. 

PAFC systems are commercially available from the ONSI Corporation as 200-kW stationary power sources operating on natural gas. The stack cross sec tion is 1 m- (10.8 ft"). It is about 2.5 m (8.2 ft) tall and rated for a 40,000-h life. It is cooled with water/steam in a closed loop with secondary heat exchangers. The photograph of a unit is shown in Fig. 27-66. These systems are intended for on-site power and heat generation for hospitals, hotels, and small businesses. Another apphcation, however, is as dispersed 5- to 10-MW power plants in metropolitan areas. Such units would be located at elec tric utihty distribution centers, bypassing the high-voltage transmission system. The market entiy price of the system is 3000/kW. As production volumes increase, the price is projec ted to dechne to 1000 to 1500/kW. 

Beyond the complexities of the dispersive element, the equipment requirements of infrared instrumentation are quite simple. The optical path is normally under a purge of dry nitrogen at atmospheric pressure thus, no complicated vacuum pumps, chambers, or seals are needed. The infrared light source can be cooled by water. No high-voltage connections are required. A variety of detectors are avail-... 

Where a.c. supplies exist, transformer-rectifiers are the most economical source of d.c. for cathodic protection systems. In the case of pipelines, standard transformer-rectifiers, either oil or air cooled, can be employed. They range in size from 5A, 5V for small systems to 100 A, 48 V for major pipeline schemes. A typical output for a well-coated cross-country pipeline in the UK would be 5 A, 48 V. In the case of sea-water jetties where the voltage required is usually low because of the lower sea-water resistivity, a typical rectifier size for a major installation would be 500 A, 18 V. For offshore pipelines and loading platforms where a fire hazard exists, it is usual to employ certified flameproof or intrinsically safe rectifiers to overcome any possibility of fire hazard should faults develop in the unit. 

The etch experiments were performed using a commercial ICP etcher equipped with an ICP source and a load lock. The substrate susceptor was cooled by He through a chilled fluid. The coil, which was connected to a 13.56 MHz RF power supply, was located on the lid of a ceramic chamber to generate a high density plasma. A bias voltage induced by RF power at... 

Tunneling electric current through the normal metal insulator superconductor junction is accompanied with heat flow out of normal metal when property voltage is biased. The phenomenon enables cooling of electrons and phonons (under special conditions) in the region below 1K. At lower bath temperatures, two parasitic heat sources decrease refrigerator performance ... 

Fig. 5.12. DIP of a JEOL JMS-700 sector instrament for use with El, chemical ionization (Cl) and field ionization (FI). The copper probe tip holds the glass sample vial and is fitted to a temperature-controlled heater (left). The heater, a thermocouple, and circulation water cooling are provided inside. The (white) ceramics insulator protects the operator from the high voltage of the ion source.

Klystrons. The most commonly used radiation source is a klystron these tubes are available at discrete frequencies between 2.5 and 220 GHz. Many klystrons can be tuned over a range up to 3 % of the nominal frequency by a control that varies the physical dimensions of a resonant cavity inside the tube. Finer adjustment of the frequency is achieved by varying the voltage applied to the resonator and reflector electrodes. Thermal stability is obtained by immersion of the entire tube in an oil bath, or by water or air cooling. A feedback circuit provides automatic frequency control (AFC) to continuously correct the output frequency to the resonance frequency of the cavity. The power output of the klystrons used in EPR spectrometers is generally about 300-700 mW. The most widely used frequency for EPR spectrometers is 9.5 GHz, which is called X-band.
