ENHANCED NEW SCREENED KELVIN™
MAKES A SPLASH
|
|  |
BIRNS recently introduced enhancements to the popular BIRNS
Kelvin™, the world's most durable and dependable fuel pool lighting fixture.This unique system is seismically qualified per IEEE-344, and trusted in
 nuclear power plants worldwide--a blazing 3200K tungsten white light that's
easily decontaminated, and relamps in just 60 seconds with a choice of wide,
medium or narrow beam lamps.It mounts on a special BIRNS pan-and-tilt yoke,
hangs from a suspension assembly or secures (solo or dual) to any of the BIRNS
mounting poles.The new model (5813) includes advanced safety features like
rugged stainless steel mesh coverings, and a Lexan protector with specially designed
Lexan plugs for the finger holes.
This powerful system features a 120v/1,000w lamp with instant
ON/OFF and hot-restrike capability and is designed for underwater use in areas
with high levels of radiation and nuclear contamination. It's ideal for
long-term illumination of fuel pools and transfer canals, and is extensively
used in reactor cavity illumination during fuel movement or other large-scale
activities.The rugged BIRNS Kelvin requires no heavy ballast to operate, and its
housing is free-flooding for high-efficiency water cooling, yet is compatible
with all commercial grade Class A GFCIs (ground-fault circuit interrupters).
