Why does the hot glass of a kerosene lamp cracks when wet with water?

The glass of a kerosene lamp while glowing is hot. When water falls on it, there is a sudden change in temperature, which causes the glass to break.


What is the temperature of an imax 3D light bulb?

Bulbs of the movie theater type are large high pressure xenon DC arc lamps. To ask what temperature they are does not make much sense. The arc itself is 600 K. The lamp envelope is quartz or sapphire and while it would certainly sizzle your finger, the temperature depends on the cleanliness of the bulb, the cooling airflow, the wattage, the type of lamp and the age of the lamp. They are 15kW lamps. Imax projectors use 2 of them. Each lamp produces 600,000 lumens. If you put a log in front of it, it would spontaneously combust... Asking the temperature of the lamp makes a lot of sense. The 600k that you mention should be 6000k and is the colour temperature and has nothing to do with the actual temperature of the lamp whilst operating. It is merely the best way to describe the colour of the light when compared to the black body locus on the CIE Chromaticity Map. The clear quartz glass jacket of the lamp has an operating surface temperature of about 1,300 degrees. To prevent the lamp from overheating, it has coolant "jackets" that allow cool distilled water to be pumped around the electrodes at a rate of a little over 30 litres per minute at about 100 psi. In addition, an exhaust fan removes about 34 cubic metres of air per minute from the lamp housing.


What are the chemicals in a lava lamp?

The chemicals in a lava lamp are: water (H2O) and wax (hydrocarbon).


Can water evaporate under a lamp?

Yes, it is possible.


Where in the ceiling would you install a heat lamp?

The heat lamp would be installed where it is needed. The only place the lamp is not permitted to be placed is over a doors swing radius. This is in the electrical code to prevent a door that is left opened and in a position directly under the lamp. The heat from the lamp has the ability to raise the temperature of the door to its combustion point and set it alight.

How do you test a temp sensor?

Remove from vehicle. Place in a jar of water and heat on the stove with thermometer in the water. Connect a battery and lamp to the terminals.The sensor acts as a switch. See what temperature the lamp lights and compare to spec. If you have an ohmmeter connect it across sensor and note resistance. It should drop dramatically at set temperature.
