Adaptations in aquatic invertebrate resting eggs that confer protection from natural catastrophic events also could confer protection from treatments applied to ballast water for biological invasion vector management. To evaluate the potential efficacy of physical ballast water treatment methods, the present study examined the acute toxicity of heat (flash and holding methods), ultraviolet (UV)...

Design and analysis of a new singleswitch soft-switching class-E electronic ballast with high input power factor is presented. Design equations for the optimum operating condition are derived and complete computer analysis performed. It is shown that low duty-cycle control of the class-E ballast can reduce the voltage stress of the controlled switch. A 40-W fluorescent lamp ballast is implement...

A digitally addressable digital dimming ballast has been developed. It conforms to DALI standard requiring very few parts and operates at very low power. Applications include building management or studio lighting where it is desired to control single or groups of lamps for conserving energy, performing lamp maintenance or creating prefect light quality. The design includes the digital dimming ...

This paper presents a high-frequency electronic ballast for HID lamps. A new fixed frequency dimming method with low EMI features is developed in this research. The proposed electronic ballast has the advantages of high power density, simple circuit and low EMI features. The circuit operating principle and design procedures are described in detail. A laboratory prototype was built and tested. T...

A novel single-stage push–pull electronic ballast with high input power factor is presented in this paper. The proposed electronic ballast combines the front-end power-factor corrector and push–pull converter into a single-stage converter. Compared to the single-stage class-D electronic ballast, the proposed circuit does not require an isolated driver. The control of the circuit is easier and t...

The use of electromagnetic induction lamps without electrodes has increased because of their long life and energy efficiency. The control of the ignition and luminosity of the lamp is provided by an electronic ballast. Beyond that, the electronic ballast also provides a power factor correction, allowing the minimizing of the lamps impact on the quality of service of the electrical network. The ...

A novel ballast resistor network is proposed to achieve a better thermal management in HBT power cells without degrading the RF performances. Experiments were conducted on two HBT power amplifiers. They occupy same area. One was designed using conventional ballast network. The other uses proposed novel network. Temperature comparisons were made based on the same current density. Infrared camera...

Abstract Pollution of the marine environment has become a global issue, including pollution from ballast water. The impact is it can damage ecosystems and even affect humans. Therefore, water something that must be prevented by treatment. In this research, author carried out modeling simulation on heat exchanger with mechanical-type treatment method utilizing generated ship’s engine. Heat used ...
