Abstract:
An article treatment system and method utilizing an air-cooled lamp and having reduced cooling requirement. A power supply (26) responds to a sensor (46) sensing the presence of an article (10) at an article treating location (12c) by providing power to an air-cooled lamp (34), causing the lamp to project radiation onto the article (10) at a radiation level sufficient to effectively treat the article. An air blower (28) blows air onto the lamp, and a blower driver (30) is responsive to the level of the power being provided to the lamp to drive the air blower at a speed blowing air onto the lamp with an air pressure having a non-linear relationship with the power level.
