The molar amount of the alkali metal nitrite and optionally alkaline earth metal nitrite for a desired temperature is calculated by x nitrite = K 6 ? ( T ) K 6 ? ( T ) + P O ? ? 2 Xnitrite is the mole fraction of nitrite, K6(T) is the temperature-dependent equilibrium constant of the reaction nitrate ?nitrite+½ oxygen (NO3?? NO2?+½ O2), pO2 is the oxygen partial pressure and T is the temperature of the nitrate salt composition.

  • Patent number: 9933137
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a projecting light fixture comprising a light source module comprising a plurality of light sources and a plurality of light collectors, where the light collectors collect light from the light sources and convert the collected light into a plurality of source light beams. The source light beams are concentrated at an optical gate where a beam shaping object is arranged and a projecting system is configured to project light passing through the beam shaping object along a primary optical axis. The light sources and light collectors are arrange in a plurality of groups each providing an illumination of the beam shaping object where the illuminations of the beam shaping object are different. The light fixture comprises a controller configure to vary the intensity of the different illuminations in relation to each other whereby a large number of new light effects can be provided.

  • Patent number: 9596736
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dual function light controller for a lighting system comprising a number of light emitting devices. The dual function light controller acts in a stand-alone mode of operation as an independent light controller controlling the lighting system and acts in a peripheral mode of operation act as a peripheral device which at least partially is controlled by a main controller controlling the lighting system. The dual function light controller comprises user switching means enabling a user to switch between the stand-alone mode of operation and the peripheral mode of operation. The present invention relates also to a lighting system comprising such dual function light control device.

  • Patent number: 9532422
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an illumination device comprising a number of light sources arranged in a first group and in a second and controlling means adapted to control the first group and said second group individually. The controlling means is further adapted to control of light sources based on an input signal indicative of at least a first effect function and a second effect function. The first effect function generates a first output related to the light sources and said second effect function generates a second output light sources. The first and second effect functions are stored in a memory in the in the illumination device. The that controlling means is adapted to control the first and the second group of light sources based on a priority schema and/or synchronizing schema both stored in a memory in the illumination device.
