Do not throw it out, utilize it, rebuild it!

I would like to present in this short description how harmful for our environment if we throw out
the electronic machines into the garbage. We really have to think and care about the future of the
nature. I mean in particular the bad CFL electronics and PCs, the intact recycling and usage
opportunities of a power-supply unit. I would like to present this whole issue. The basic problem is
the following: there is not a constructed service network for the PCs, if it goes wrong it is throw out
or in better case it is being gathered. The correction could be really expensive, for the correction
price (or with a little money appropriation) we can buy a new power-supply unit so it is a really
critical question that is the repairing worth it at all?

The continuously scrapped compact light tube electronics are producing increasingly more and
more waste by way of CFL. Nowadays there are a lot of opportunities for handling the waste, one of
these is recycling which is the best way I think to support our environment. For example: for the
bad cars repairing there is an separate industrial branch in the USA already which works really
properly.

I would like to present shortly the function of the power-supply unit. The network tenseness directs
the buffer with the help of the control the primer side performance with switch elements 40-80 K
Hz in a province.
The energy of the network tenseness is transformed into one with little tenseness in half bridge
topology generally 3,3 V 5 V from a one with bigger current with a tenseness of 12 V 3-20-35 A
values. The network one has 50-60 Hz bigger frequency with a switch firm the nutriments are made
easy and bugdet one.

The prototype
Beside smaller weight and a size available the necessary performance, even it output power above
750 W. CFL electronics the transformed electronics works some other way here performance
generally value between only 10-30 W.
A product analysis would be worthy at devices, here!

An other important factor could appear here. The inverse that is reverse production is a
technological analysis. We they ripened on this? To give a thought to it in the phase of the planning
already that it a power-supply unit and CFL were made ready how repairable and this the planning
and in the course of the constructional compilation into attention to have bought, for example how
easy to test a given component or to solder correction from the aim of troubleshooting ?

In more cases the capacitors mainly the ever-ready one and the power-supply unit could work
reliably yet with the exchange of the secondary side capacitors. Would be worthy to examine that
onto existence could be this to bring efficient technology it my tall oozing price and ESR were used
up with a value providing onto the recycling of capacitors.

Already the metal house of the old power-supply units and his cables the network joining useful
ones examining. The production of a nutriment with new electronics could happen more cheaply
already hereby.

It would be possible to take it into consideration that a repaired or rebuilt nutriment a smaller or pl
with a medium performance could function ledes lighting as a nutriment source.
Because pl. if the refrigerator is fan in a bad nutriment operational i mean the components a big heat
load is not received.

His big part can be utilized would be. Pl the capital supply trafó too can be tested would be
reliability and electric strength from a viewpoint. The supply trafó a recycled power-supply unit
may mean his transformer already.

The first capital step could be the consciousness framing that the electronics examining to
circumscribe that the mistake you are the primer one on the secondary side yes. If the mistake can
be circumscribed how much would be complicated and bugdet to repair?

An example turns out after testing that the primer side switch element transistor wrong the
component would be worthy beside changed it too to examine why the component went wrong
because of a big heat load or an other reason ? To examine, to test that the control of the power-
supply unit works well ? Today already in a favourable price available on the market half bridge fet
electronic circuits controlling a connection.

I it IR2153-as integrated circuit 2 pieces IRF I built up a plain half bridge with the help of 740 fet
and some additional components. With this solution the pc it went wrong in nutriment control little
can be substituted with this solution this nutriment like this yet very much plain did not save neither
too current against a blockade. Cannot be regulated the tenseness does not rescue it.

The too current protection with the building in of a current bill which can be untied easily and his
feedback fettel and complemented with a voltage divider ct traced back to foot it is can be set the
protection how the ic should come to a stop above a what kind of performance.

The current bill coil from the ring seed of a compact light tube taken to pieces preparable. The other
very good plain solution the the used or bad compact light tube with the transformation of
electronics plain önrezgő half bridge can be built. I mean the power-supply unit is able to start up
without a secondary side load and to work.

The capital part of the transformation the little ring seed winding concerned the fourth current
watcher the output tenseness does not vacillate about the function of the load so much with the
inauguration of a coil.
the transistors fettek the substitution of truth the effect heads and getting warm improve by way of
this smaller with what the fettek his connection loss smaller.

Like this very plain and half bridge with cheap drive can be manufactured this would be my capital
aim with considerable recycling and for me moreover !

The output current and the tenseness onto a regulation diverse opportunity one are many times more
complicated more components i the primer side pl TL 494 or KA7500 with the use of ic the other
opportunity that the raw tenseness going out and current we regulate it on the secondary side.

The electronic circuit on the other hand 1 A / 10 V i mean it is necessary to cool it above 10 W
because DC is getting warm significantly/DC converter the reverse side of a part

With this description not the new electronics products I wish to ruin the market of formation but to
point at it that the new electronics the formation of products breast the power-supply units built with
the recycled used components would have grounds with this arose reduced on the land
unnecessarily and senselessly waste. Thank you for the attention.
