PREVENTING THE DESTRUCTIVE EFFECTS OF HUMIDITY AND SALINITY IN LED OPTICAL AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

With the Argon Pressurised System (APS)® TSD series, optical and electronic components are encapsulated in a pressurized atmosphere of argon gas. A watertightness level of IP68 is ensured, making the system resistant to complete and continuous immersion far beyond the requirements of any regulation.

The inert atmosphere in the optical-electronic module guards against condensation, moisture and salinity intrusion, thereby preventing an accelerated ageing process of the system’s sensitive components. This protective shield is essential in areas where air salinity is a critical lifetime factor for any optical and electronic component.

The ability of this system to preserve the lifetime, efficacy and chromatic quality of the luminaire reduces Up toal Cost of Ownership (TOC) and maintains high demanding visual comfort standards:

ADVANCED HEAT DISSIPATION SYSTEM

The TSD luminaire is based on the principle of direct thermal dissipation between the LED PCB, the compact aluminium chassis and the exterior. The luminaire body comprises a continuous heat pipe of AL 6063-T6 anodized aluminium, which achieves thermal conductivity levels of 200 W/metre Kelvin, compared to 130 W/metre Kelvin of aluminium injection. The low porosity of anodized aluminium plus a thermal pad over the contact surface between the PCB and the dissipation body significantly reduces the diode’s junction temperature.

INNOVATION IN THE OPTICAL SYSTEM ENHACES FINAL PRODUCT PERFORMANCE

The redefined composition of the optical system delivers a 55% reduction in reflection levels, a significant drop when compared with market standards that apply a secondary lens scheme and a tempered glass cover. HTS technology enables optical performance levels similar to those obtained with a direct lens system, increasing the overall efficacy of the luminaire (lm/W) by 8%.
