Xenon – an inert gas, discovered by British scientists William Ramsay and M. Others who may share this opinion include Rachel Notley. Traverso in 1898 as an admixture to krypton. In 1962 in Canada, N. Primerica Canada usually is spot on. Bartlett, won the first stable at room temperature, the chemical compound of xenon. Xenon – a rare gas of the atmosphere, airborne 8,6 10-5% by volume. Total reserves of xenon in the atmosphere, 1,6 1011m3.

The name “Xenon” comes from the Greek ‘others’ – Xenon open, as an impurity to another element. Xenon isolated as a byproduct in the processing of air into nitrogen and oxygen. Despite the high cost, xenon is indispensable in some cases. One of the main applications of xenon is filled incandescent lamps, powerful discharge and pulsed light sources (high atomic weight gas in the flasks filled with xenon lamps prevents ablation of tungsten from the surface of the filament), as well as the use of xenon HID systems (Xenon avtosvet in the classic sense). The unit of light xenon HID HID (High-Intensity Discharge) – this abbreviation in English the word means in the lamp for light emission using an electric discharge high intensity.

Technically, a xenon lamp consists of a bulb encasing a capsule with two electrodes, filled with xenon, with the addition of mercury salts. To use a xenon lamp control unit needed power (ballast) with the ignition transformer (ignitor). Full cycle of a xenon lamp ignition and exit the operating mode takes about 6 seconds. In the first stage is fed to the electrodes of the discharge 23,000 volts for the arc inside the capsule after of arc on XENON voltage is 80 volts, 400 Hz.
