電子式照明設備之船用性能評估

Performance Assessment of Electronic Lighting Equipment for Marine Vessels

船用傳統照明設備效率不高，目前已逐漸被高效率電子式燈具取代。然而，這些電子式照明設備均屬於陸用，忽略海用對於照度、溫度、振動等特殊需求。為確認陸用電子式燈具於海上環境之適用性，本文針對幾款常見的電子式燈源，以船用照明規範進行廠內及實船測試，並與傳統燈源性能進行分析比較。測試結果建議因應電子式燈源的導入，既有船舶照明規範，在照度及振動測試要求，必須作適當加強，且一般陸用電子式燈源，在散熱與振動上必須強化。分析結果可協助船廠與船東選用適當的電子式照明設備，亦可提供有用的資訊供燈具製造廠開發適合船舶電子式燈源之燈具。 Traditional lighting equipments on-board are energy-inefficient and gradually being replaced by land-based electronic lighting equipment. However, they may be not suitable for marine use that has special requirements of illumination, ambient temperature, and vibration, etc.. In order to verify the applicability of the energy-efficiency lighting equipment to marine use, several common traditional lamps on-board are selected and replaced by commercial electronic lamps for experimental investigations according to marine vessel lighting rules. Performances of these lighting equipment are ensured and compared through the factory acceptance and on-board tests. According to information in the lest results, it suggests that the illumination and vibration test requirements in the existing rules should be appropriately revised and the performances of heat dissipation and anti-vibrating of the existing electronic equipment should be enhanced due to introduction of electronic lamps. Analysis results can assist ship building corporations and ship owners in determining proper electronic lighting equipment and can also provide manufacturers useful information to develop suitable electronic lighting equipment on-board for electronic lamps.
