36 RADIDTUBES G BEREACTIATED Bureau of Standards Gives Simple Process for Use of Set Owners. Radio tubes, like some of the older humans, eventually lose their “pep” under the strain of constant work and require a rest or need to be rejuvenated. This rejuvenating proc ess, as applied to vacuum tubes, is not as serious an operation, how- ever, as the one some humans un- dergo in the search for youth. It s known as “reactivation” and is said by the Bureau of Standa radio experts to renew the sensitivit of electron tubes of the thoriated tungsten filament type. Concerning this method of reacti- vation the burean has issued the fol. wing report, so skilled listeners can pep up” their tubes themselves: Electron tubes in radio recelving sets eventually lose their sensitivity. This sometimes progresses to the point where the receiving set op- erates very poorly or not at all, even though the tube filament is not burned out. The user of the set fre- quently confuses this condition with that due to an exhausted B battery. If the tubes are of the thoriated tungsten (X-L) filament type they { can usually be rejuvenated by a sim ple proce: and made to serve as well as new tubes in the receiving set. Two Cannot Be Reactivated. “It happens that most of the tubes now used are of the thoriated tung- sten type, and it therefore becomes of quite general interest for the public to know how to secure the full life of their electron tubes. The WD-11 and WD-12 types of tubes are the only ones extensively used which can- not be reactivated. In these tubes the source of the electrons is a coat- ing of certain oxides on the surface of the filament, and when this has been used up no process can re- new it. “The thoriated tungsten filaments, however, used in most of the various other types of tubes, contain the oxide of thorium throughout the whole mass of the tungsten filament, this oxide having been originally put in incandescent lamps to keep the filaments from being too fragile. The filaments are give a treatment which produces a layer of atoms of thorium on the surface of the tungsten, and this thorium, which is radioactive, emits electrons much more copiously than the tungsten would, After long use, or after burn- ing the filament too brightly, the layer of thorium atoms is evaporated off, and so few electrons are then emitted that the tube does not func- tion properly. Reactivation 1is a process which bolls additional thorium atoms out of the interior of the fungsten filament and for! a new layer of thorium atoms on the sur- face. Process Successful. “The tharfated filament was de neral Electric Co., | oped the methods of re-| S t type.

The process is essentfally the operation of the fila- ment for a very brief interval at a Specified high voltage (called “flash ing”), followed by a lower voltage for ! a longer time (called “aging”), all of this with no grid or plate voltage.| The flashing reduces some of the thorium oxide in the wire to thorium the aging forms the re- quired sur The following schedule of these operations is the result of extensive experience of the Radio Corporation of America, and is published here by courtesy of that FLASHING Time. 10 min. 10 min. 10 min; OX and UV 109, & Tx and UV 201-A.. 0X-120 .. “ . me procedures ap- ply for tubes as for the UX tubes of corresponding number. Thus, C and CX-289 correspond to U and 9 and CX-301-A to U and UX-201-A and CX-220 to UX-120. “In carrying out this schedule it is absolutely essentfal to have a volt- meter of a good degree of accuracy and to use a watch. No grid or plate voltages are used. Either alternat. ing or direct current may be used for heating the filaments. Must Need Treatment. “It is important that reactivation not be attempted until the tube user has assured himself that the tubes actually need this treatment; that is, he should make certain that his bat. terfes are not run down and that other parts of the receiving set are in proper order. The schedule above should be followed with great care. The process is useful only for the thoriated tungsten filament type of tubes. “The apparatus necessary for carry- ing out the process is simple. The filament is connected to the neces- sary source of voltage, nothing being connected to the grid and plate. A voltmeter {s connected across the fila- ment terminz If alternating cur- rent is available the source of voltage can be a smail transformer, such as those for running doorbel tric toys. The voltage tap nearest the voltage specified should be select- ed and a rheostat in series with the filament used to adjust to the exact voltage. The voltmeter must be one for alternating current. “If alternating current and a trans- former are not avallable, dry batteries or storage batteries may be used as a source of voltage. A single dry cell when new will furnish approximately 1.5 volts. A rheostat should be con- nected In serfes to give the exact filament terminal voltage as indicated on a direct-current voltmeter. “There are several manufacturing companies that advertise tube reacti- vators at varying prices.

Smith had been looking over circuit diagrams and was interested to note that {n the majority of them there was provision for the insertion of a GL in the circult just before the grid of the detector tube. It apparently was in serfes with what he had come to rec- ognize as the grid condenser. “I don’t quite understand this,” he said, pointing to the mysterlous little radio unit on one of the dlagrams. “Understanding the function of the GL is simply a matter of going over your first lessons in the activities in a vacuum tube,” I explained, “The GL is the grid leak, and it is very well named.” “Maybe you had better tell me gested. It was the logical step, so T ex- plained the first principles, reminding him of the nature of the radio fre- quencles which were coming in over the aerial and which, after being suit- ably tuned in the tuning apparatus, were being fed to the grid of the de- tector tube. The nature of alternat- ing current, which is radio frequency current, is such that in a group of oscillations the current is built up negatively to maximum, and then drops back to zero, builds up to a makimum positive charge again, only to return to zero before the next group of oscillations commences. “Earlier in your experience as a radio fan you learned that a con- denser was a true reservoir of elec- tricity,” I explained. “Its function in connection with the grid circuit is to provide the applied potentials. Gen- eradly speaking, it assists in getting the radio type of alternating current to the grid of the detector tube in the way it should, first positive and then negative. T Understand,” Smith said. “Now what happens when the grid is posi- tively charged?” Action of Grid. “That's easy when you realize what is happening in the tube when there is nothing coming in at the grid, as is the case when the set isn’t tuned in. There is heat in the tube because the fllament has been lighted. There is a strong charge of positive current on the plate of the tube because the plate is connected to the ‘B’ battery. From the heated filament of the tube electrons are being shot into the space of the tube and they finally reach the plate. Electrons are always negative, you know, and -since unlike electric currents attract each other the elec: trons are attracted to the plate. for. e foliowed John Smith in his dail radio, and i 0w Re has taken v, be, amused ‘and profie by his” ememing 0 it will pay “finding out tAings,” sunday Lrar" cath eer: gxperts know as the norm: a flow of current.

They can't get over to the plate and so the plate current decreases, Process Alternates. “This process is going on, alter- nately, at an astounding rate, but the grid isn't cleared of electrons at the end of each cycle.

That, in a nutshell, is why you must use a grid leak. This excess negative potential must be drained off. The grid leak is noth- ing more than a resistance connected across the grid condenser terminals. It provides an automatic leak when the maximum charge has accumulated on the grid. Of course, there are dif- ferent kinds of grid leaks and different ways of using them. Going back to the grid condenser you can see now how the condenser serves to lead the incoming radio frequencies to the grid without loss in the grid leal Next Week, No. 35—Economizing on Current.
