PHILIPS/NORELCO - 17593 - SO₂ Sulfur Dioxide Lamp 12VDC, 50W.
The Philips/Norelco 17593 is a vintage SO₂ lamp (Sulfur Dioxide Lamp) often referred to as a biochemical analyzer lamp used in specialized electronic equipment and/or Medical Diagnostical Equipment.
An SO₂ lamp (Sulfur Dioxide lamp) is a specialized ultraviolet (UV) light source primarily used inside environmental monitoring instruments to detect and measure sulfur dioxide (SO₂) gas levels in the air.
Rather than lighting a room, these lamps act as the critical scientific tool inside industrial and environmental gas analyzers.
Product Specifications
• Brand/Manufacturer: Philips / Norelco
• Part Number / SKU: 17593
• Model Type: SO₂ lamp (Sulfur Dioxide Lamp)
• Voltage (Rated): 12 VDC
• Wattage: 50 Watts
• Base: Rectangular Ceramic Base Measuring Approximately 0.86” x 0.525”
• Contact Pins are 0.090” and 0,1225” Diameter
• Overall Length: 1.821”
• Optimal Operating Voltage: 9.5 VDC (for maximizing the operational life of the lamp)
Maximum Lifespan Rating: To achieve maximum operating hours, the system should be continuously supplied at 9.5 VDC. Operating at a full 12V will dramatically increase brightness but degrade the filament life exponentially.
Applications: Cleveland Controls SO₂ Stack / Opacity Monitor and Medical Equipment.
Made in Holland
Genuine Philips/Norelco – Rare – Difficult SO₂ lamp to Find.
PHILIPS/NORELCO - 17593 - SO₂ MONITOR LAMP 12VDC, 50W
An SO₂ lamp (Sulfur Dioxide lamp) is a specialized ultraviolet (UV) light source primarily used inside environmental monitoring instruments to detect and measure sulfur dioxide (SO₂) gas levels in the air.
Rather than lighting a room, these lamps act as the critical scientific tool inside industrial and environmental gas analyzers.
How it Works
The lamp operates on a principle known as UV fluorescence:
1. Excitation: The lamp pulses high-intensity UV light (usually at a wavelength of around 214 nm) into a sampling chamber.
2. Absorption: If SO₂ molecules from the air are present in the chamber, they absorb this specific wavelength and become "excited".
3. Fluorescence: As those SO₂ molecules cool down and return to their normal energy state, they emit a new UV light at a longer wavelength (around 330–390 nm).
4. Measurement: A detector measures the brightness of this emitted light. The brighter the light, the higher the concentration of sulfur dioxide in the air.
Common Applications
Because SO₂ is a toxic byproduct of burning fossil fuels, these lamps are critical components in:
• Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS): Tracking pollution directly from factory and power plant smokestacks.
• Ambient Air Quality Stations: Government and environmental monitoring networks that track urban smog and acid rain risks.
• Industrial Safety Detectors: Protecting workers in chemical manufacturing, mining, and oil refining industries from dangerous gas leaks.
