Headlight for a vehicle with a cooling device for a semiconductor illuminant
A headlight for a vehicle with a cooling device for a semiconductor illuminant, wherein the cooling device comprises a fluid circuit with an evaporator, on or in which the semiconductor illuminant is arranged and a cooling medium can be evaporated, and wherein the cooling device further comprises a condenser on or in which the cooling medium can be condensed. The cooling medium comprises a first coolant, which has a first lower evaporation temperature and the cooling medium comprises a second coolant, which has a second higher evaporation temperature.
1. A headlight for a vehicle with a cooling device for a semiconductor illuminant, the cooling device comprising:
a fluid circuit with an evaporator, on or in which the semiconductor illuminant is arranged and in which a cooling medium is evaporated; and
a condenser in which the cooling medium is condensed,
wherein the cooling medium comprises a first coolant having a first evaporation temperature and a second coolant having a second evaporation temperature, the first evaporation temperature being lower than the second evaporation temperature,
wherein at least one of the first coolant or the second coolant has a perfluorinated chemical compound which is derived from an ethyl isopropyl ketone, and
wherein the first coolant and the second coolant form a mixture.
2. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein the first evaporation temperature of the first coolant lies below a nominal operating temperature of the semiconductor illuminant.
3. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein the second evaporation temperature of the second coolant lies below a damage temperature of the semiconductor illuminant.
4. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein a steam line extends between the evaporator and the condenser, through which the first coolant and the second coolant are conducted from the evaporator to the condenser and wherein a liquid line extends from the condenser to the evaporator through which the first coolant and the second coolant are conducted from the condenser to the evaporator.
5. The headlight according to claim 4 , wherein the steam line and the liquid line are formed separately from each other.
6. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein, in relation to an installation position of the headlight in a vehicle, the evaporator has a lower geodetic height position than the condenser, such that an uppermost surface of the evaporator is positioned below a lowermost surface of the condenser.
7. The headlight according to claim 6 , wherein the condenser is arranged outside a housing of the headlight.
8. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein the condenser is arranged outside a housing of the headlight.
9. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor illuminant is brought into direct contact with the mixture of the first coolant and the second coolant by being at least partially encapsulated in the mixture.
10. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein both the first coolant and the second coolant have a perfluorinated chemical compound which is derived from an ethyl isopropyl ketone.
