Abstract

Nowadays,
energy resources are rapidly depleted and energy costs have risen. Therefore,
the efficient use of energy resources has gained importance. The use of
energy-saving fiber optic lighting systems has increased. In this study, PMMA
and PS (crystal) polymers with high optical properties were used. The
manufacture of fiber optic cable for the purpose of lighting by extrusion
method was realized experimentally. The samples were manufactured at four
different temperatures, three different production rates and two different
forms. Fiber optic cables with different lengths and forms were compared in
terms of light intensity. As a result of the study, the sample manufactured in
PMMA was found to be better than the samples in PS. The best light intensity
values of PMMA samples were observed at 2.2 m min at 220 ^oC. On the
other hand, the best light intensity was achieved in PS samples at 205 ^oC
at 2.4 m/min. In addition, it was observed that there was an increase (10-17%)
in the light intensity hollow rod samples compared to rod samples.

Ekstrüzyon Yöntemiyle Büyük Çaplı Fiber Optik Kablo Üretimi ve Proses Parametrelerinin İyileştirilmesi

Abstract

Enerji kaynaklarının hızla tükenmekle birlikte enerji
maliyetlerinin yükseldiği günümüzde enerji kaynakları en verimli şekilde
kullanmak gerekmektedir. Enerji tasarrufu sağlayan fiber optik aydınlatma
sistemlerinin kullanımı günümüzde giderek artmaktadır. Yapılan bu çalışmada,
optik özellikleri yüksek olan PMMA ve PS (kristal) polimerler kullanılmıştır.
Ekstrüzyon yöntemiyle aydınlatma amaçlı fiber optik kablo üretimi deneysel
olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen 
numuneler; dört farklı sıcaklık, üç farklı üretim hızında ve  iki farklı formda gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Farklı boy ve formlardaki ışık şiddetleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Yapılan çalışma
sonucunda PMMA’dan  üretilen numune PS’ye
göre daha iyi sonuç verdiği görülmüştür. PMMA numunelerde ışık şiddetlerinde en
iyi değer 220oC sıcaklıkta 2,2 m/dak da gerçekleşmiştir. PS numunelerde ise
205oC sıcaklıkta 2,4 m/dak da en iyi ışık şiddetine ulaşılmıştır. Dairesel
delikli forma sahip numuneler, dolu formlu numunelere kıyasla ışık şiddetinde
(%10-17) artış gözlenmiştir.
