Amplifier Chameleon class G H. Chameleon mask for welding: filter classification and mask selection Equipment and reagents

Chameleon type welding helmets are so named because the light filter automatically changes the degree of darkening depending on the intensity of the light flux. It is much more comfortable than a regular face shield or an old style mask with a replaceable filter. Putting on a chameleon, you can see everything well even before welding: the filter is almost transparent and does not interfere with your work. When the arc is ignited in a matter of seconds, it darkens, protecting the eyes from burns. After the arc goes out, it becomes transparent again. You can carry out all the necessary manipulations without removing the mask, which is much more convenient than raising and lowering the protective screen and many times better than holding a shield in your hand. But an extensive selection of copies of different prices can be confusing: what is the difference, and which one is better? How to choose a chameleon mask will be described below.

Masks for welding a chameleon are presented in a wide variety. The choice is not an easy task. It's not so much the looks that matter, but the quality.

Light filter in a chameleon: what is it and which is better

That small glass that is installed on the welding helmet is a real miracle of science and technology. It contains the latest achievements in optics, microelectronics, liquid crystals and solar energy. This is the "glass". In fact, this is a whole multi-layered pie, which consists of the following elements:


The main and main advantage of the chameleon welding mask is that even if it did not have time to work, it will not miss ultraviolet and infrared radiation (if the mask was lowered). And the degree of protection from these harmful effects does not depend on the settings. In any case and with any settings, you are protected from these types of harmful influences.

But this is only if the appropriate filters are present in the “pie” and they are of the proper quality. Since it is impossible to check this without special devices, you have to focus on certificates. And they must have masks. Moreover, only two centers can issue them on the territory of Russia: VNIIS and FGBU at the All-Russian Research Institute of Labor Protection and Economics. To be sure that the certificate is genuine, its number can be found on the official website of the federal service of Rosakkredditatsiya here at this link.

This is a form on the Rossaccreditation website for checking the certificate. You can fill in only the number, leaving all other fields empty (To increase the size of the picture, click on it with the right mouse button)

Enter the certificate number in the appropriate field and get the date of validity, information about the applicant, manufacturer. A small note: the abbreviation RPE stands for "optical action personal protective equipment." This is the name of the welder's mask in bureaucratic language.

If there is such a certificate, the following message will appear. By clicking on the link you will see the text of the certificate (To increase the size of the picture, click on it with the right mouse button)

The most important thing is that you make sure that this product (compare, by the way, both the name and the model) is safe for your health.

Classification of automatic welding filters

Since the light filter and its quality is a key element in this product, the choice of a chameleon mask must begin with it. All its indicators are classified according to the EN379 standard and must be displayed on its surface through a fraction.

Now in more detail what is hidden behind these numbers and what they should be. Each of the positions can contain a number from 1, 2, 3. Accordingly, "1" is the best option - the first class, "3" is the worst - the third class. now about in which position which characteristic is displayed and what it means.

Explanation of EN37 classification

Optical class

It reflects how clearly and without distortion the picture will be visible to you through the filter. Depends on the quality of the protective glass (film) used and the build quality. If the first place is "1", the distortion will be minimal. If the value is greater, you will see everything, as if through a crooked glass.

Light scattering

Depends on the purity and quality of the optical crystals used. Shows the degree of "turbidity" of the transmitted picture. You can compare it with wet car glass: as long as there are no meetings, the drops almost do not interfere. As soon as a light source appears, everything blurs. To avoid this effect, it is necessary that the second position be "1".

Uniformity or homogeneity

Shows how uniformly the filter is shaded in different parts. If there is a unit in the third position, the difference can be no more than 0.1 DIN, 2 - 0.2 DIN, 3 - 0.3 DIN. It is clear that it will be more comfortable with uniform dimming.

Angle dependency

Reflects the dependence of dimming on the viewing angle. Here, too, the best value is "1" - the first class changes the dimming by no more than 1 DIN, the second - by 2 DIN and the third - by 3DIN.

This is how the difference between a high-quality mask and a not-so-good filter looks “live”

From all this it is clear that the more units in the characteristic of the light filter, the more comfortable it will be for you to work in a mask. This is what you need to focus on when choosing a chameleon welder mask. Professionals prefer at least such parameters 1/1/1/2. Such masks are expensive, but even with prolonged use, the eyes do not get tired.

Amateur welders, for work from time to time, can get by with simpler light filters, but the 3rd class is considered the “last century”. Therefore, it is probably not worth buying masks with such filters.

And one moment. Sellers usually refer to this entire classification with one term “Optical class”. It's just that this wording quite accurately reflects the essence of all the characteristics.

There are a few more chameleon settings that allow you to fine-tune the dimming mode for a given situation. They can be located inside, on the light filter, or they can be taken out in the form of handles on the left side of the mask. These are the following options:


Chameleon mask how to choose

In addition to the filter parameters, there are many other settings and features that can affect the choice.

  • Number of arc detection sensors. There can be 2, 3 or 4 of them. They react to the appearance of an arc. Visually, they can be seen on the front panel of the mask. These are small round or square "windows" on the surface of the filter. For amateur use, 2 pieces are enough, for professionals - the more the better: if some of them are blocked (blocked by some object when welding in a difficult position), then the rest will react.

  • Filter response speed. The spread of parameters here is large - from tens to hundreds of microseconds. When choosing a mask for home welding, drill one whose chameleon will darken in no later than 100 microseconds. For professionals, the time is less: 50 microseconds. We sometimes do not notice light strikes, but their result is tired eyes, and professionals need them all day. So the requirements are tougher.
  • Filter dimensions. The larger the glass, the more visibility you get. But the size of the filter greatly affects the cost of the mask.
  • Smooth or stepwise adjustment of the degree of dimming. Better - smooth. If the filter is darkened / clarified, it will jump, you will quickly get tired. In addition, he washes to start “blinking” from glare, which will not please.
  • The initial degree of dimming and the range of adjustment. The lighter the filter in its original state, the better you will be able to see before welding. It is also desirable that there be two dimming ranges: to small degrees up to 8DIN when working with argon or when manual arc welding in low light. Also, a smaller blackout may be needed for a person of age. and in good light, dimming up to 13 DIN is necessary. So it's better if there are two modes: 5-8DIN/8-13DIN.
  • Power supply. Most auto-darkening welding helmets have two types of power cells: solar and lithium batteries. Such a combined power supply is the most reliable. But at the same time, the lithium battery compartment must open so that it is possible to replace failed batteries. In some cheap masks, the batteries are integrated: you can only remove them by cutting the plastic (which sometimes our craftsmen do).

  • Weight. Masks can weigh from 0.8 kg to 3 kg. If you have to wear a three-kilogram weight on your head for seven or eight hours, by the end of the shift your neck and head will be like wooden ones. For amateur welding, this parameter is not very critical, although it is also not at all comfortable to work in a heavy mask.
  • Ease of attachment to the head. There are two systems for attaching the headband and the shield itself, but for these masks they are almost unimportant: you don’t need to raise / lower the mask every time. It can be omitted throughout the work. The important thing is how many adjustments there are and how tightly they allow you to fit the headband. It is also important that all these straps do not press, do not rub, so that the welder is comfortable.
  • The presence of an adjustment that allows you to move the shield away from the face. This is important if you need glasses for normal vision. Then the shield must be carried away from the face to fit your lenses.

Of the useful, but optional modes, there is also the ability to switch poppies from welding mode to grinding mode. With this switch, you actually turn off the power of the filter, your mask becomes a regular shield.

Brands and manufacturers

You know how to choose a chameleon mask for welding, but how to navigate among the mass of manufacturers? In fact, everything is not very difficult. There are trusted brands that always supply quality products and confirm their warranty obligations. Here are not very many:

  • SPEEDGLAS from Sweden;
  • OPTREL from Switzerland;
  • BALDER from Slovenia;
  • OTOS from South Korea;
  • TECMEN from China (don't be surprised, the masks are really good).

For home use, choosing a chameleon mask is not easy. On the one hand, it is necessary that it be of high quality, but obviously not everyone can afford to pay 15-20 thousand for it, and it is not cost-effective. Therefore, European manufacturers will have to be forgotten. They even produce good masks, but their prices are no less than $70.

There are many Chinese masks on the market at very low cost. But buying them is risky. If you want a trusted Chinese brand, TECMEN is the one for you. Here they have really certified factory-quality chameleon masks. The model range is quite wide, prices - from 3 thousand rubles to 13 thousand rubles. There are first-class filters (1/1/1/2) and a little worse, with all the settings and adjustments. After the update, even the cheapest mask for 3000 rubles (TECMEN DF-715S 9-13 TM8) has a replaceable battery, an enlightenment delay from 0.1 to 1 second, smooth adjustment and a “grinding” mode of operation. The photo below shows its technical characteristics. It's hard to believe, but it costs only 2990 rubles.

Owners speak well of Resant welding masks. There are not very many models, but MS-1, MS-2 and MS-3 are a good choice for little money (from 2 thousand rubles to 3 thousand rubles).

Resant MS-1 and MS-3 masks have smooth adjustment, which is undoubtedly more convenient. But in the chameleon MS-1 there are no sensitivity adjustments. They are unlikely to suit professionals, but are quite suitable for home use.

Technical characteristics of Resanta chameleon masks

Very good masks are produced by the South Korean company OTOS (Otos). It has slightly higher prices than the ones above, but there are two relatively inexpensive models: OTOS MACH II (W-21VW) for 8700 rubles and ACE-W i45gw (Infotrack ™) for 13690 rubles.

Specifications OTOS MACH II W-21VW This chameleon mask is a worthy choice even for professional use

Operation of the welding chameleon

The main requirement for the care of the mask: the light filter must be protected: it is easily scratched. Therefore, it is impossible to put the mask “face down”. Wipe it only with a completely clean and soft cloth. If necessary, you can dampen the cloth with clean water. DO NOT wipe with alcohol or any solvents: the light filter is covered with a protective film that dissolves in these liquids.

There is one more feature of any welding chameleons: at low temperatures they begin to “slow down”. That is, they work with a delay, and in both directions - both for darkening and for enlightenment. The feature is very unpleasant, so it will not work normally in them in winter even if the operating temperature is indicated from -10 ° C, as on TECMEN DF-715S 9-13 TM8. Already at -5 ° everyone cannot darken in time. So in this regard, OTOS turned out to be more honest, indicating the starting operating temperature from -5 ° C.

Finally, watch a video on how to choose a chameleon mask for welding.

They brought me an automatic welder's mask etaltech et8f with a complaint - it is unstable. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture of it, it’s like this, only the sticker is different:

Let's see the instructions:

It says in black and white that it is powered by solar panels. I open it and...

Two lithium batteries, tightly soldered into the board. Here are some solar panels for you. Unfortunately, there are no mask schemes on the Internet. The board says artotic s777f - This is a Chinese manufacturer of these masks, as usual, a large Chinese factory rivets products, and we only hang a brand - corvette, etalon, craton, caliber ...

Lithium batteries are connected in series and go through a diode to the VCC bus. The board has a 27L2C operational amplifier, two BU4551BF quad two-channel analog multiplexers, and one HCF4047 multivibrator. I reverse-engineered the circuit a little, often I had this expression on my face: Oh, but I managed to understand something.

The multiplexers are always powered by VCC. Since they are CMOS, they only draw current during switching. The solar battery is connected to the base of the transistor in such a way that, in the presence of illumination, it opens the transistor and through the transistor with VCC, through the filter, power is supplied to the operational amplifier. The mask has two variable tuning resistors - the degree of dimming and sensitivity. There are two switches inside - the welding-sharpening mode, and the speed of glass growth after the arc stops. Two photodiodes connected in parallel are used as sensors. Moreover, in the “sharpening” mode, they short-circuit, sitting on the ground. It turns out that the solar battery is used only as a sensor. After 2-3-5 years, the batteries will turn sour and the mask will be thrown away, buying a new one. So cunningly the Chinese provide a constant stream of orders. No ionistors and charging circuits are provided.

What else did you find out. Glass is a double sandwich of LCD filters, that is, two glasses are used for guaranteed shading. True, the quality of the glasses is not high, and I clearly saw a difference in shading between the center and the edges. The glass is connected between the outputs Q and! Q of the multivibrator 4047. At the same time, there is a meander on the glass, the amplitude of which is the degree of shading. When changing the degree of shading from minimum to maximum, the amplitude of the meander changes from 4.2V to 6V. To implement this tricky trick, the voltage at the power input of the multivibrator is changed. Why feed the glass with a rectangular voltage - I don’t know, either to reduce the phenomenon of polarization, or for what else. I tried to play around with glass just like that, if voltage is applied to it - it charges like a container and grows for quite a long time when the voltage is removed - it should take 5-7 seconds before it becomes transparent.

UPD. Alternating current to power the LCD light filter is used to eliminate the phenomenon of electrolysis, if you power the glass with direct current, then one of the transparent electrodes will dissolve over time. The supply voltage is different - for fubag optima 11, the glass supply voltage is 24 V alternating with a frequency of 0.5 Hz.

The sensors themselves - photodiodes in a tinted plastic case, are sharpened for IR radiation, so the mask stubbornly did not want to work on an energy-saving lamp. But it reacted sharply to the LCD monitor, and worked well on an incandescent lamp.

That's it. Given the lack of mask control circuits on the Internet at all, it seems like an interesting task to rivet an open source mask control circuit on a microcontroller. With normal solar charging, smart signal processing from sensors and some additional features. For example, by automatic shading tightly if the temperature is below the threshold, it still won’t work quickly in the cold - so we’ll completely shade and become just a welding mask.

It was agreed that at power over 600 W it is better to use a two-level power supply, which allows you to quite seriously offload the output stage and get more power on a smaller number of terminal transistors. To begin with, it is worth explaining what it is - a two-level power supply.
We hope there is no need to explain what a bipolar power supply is, the same option can be called "four-polar", since there are 4 different voltages relative to the common wire. A schematic diagram of such a source is shown in Figure 1.

Picture 1.

However, the supply voltage must be supplied to the final stage of the amplifier, but what if there are 2 of these voltages? That's right - you need an additional control circuit for this very power supply. According to the control principle, 2 main classes are distinguished - G and H. They differ from each other primarily in that class G changes the supply voltage at the final stage smoothly, i.e. power transistors of the power management system operate in an amplifying mode, and in class H, the power switches of the power management system are supplied stepwise, i.e. they are either fully closed or fully open...
The timing diagrams are shown in Figures 2 and 3, in Figure 2 - class G, in Figure 3 - class H. The blue line is the output signal, the red and green lines are the supply voltage of the final stage of the power amplifier.


Figure 2.


Figure 3

We sort of figured out how power should be supplied to the final stage, it remains to find out which set of elements to do this ...
To begin with, consider class H. Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of a power amplifier operating in class H.


Figure 4 ENLARGE .

Blue indicates the voltage and power for a load of 4 ohms, red for a load of 8 ohms, the figure also shows the recommended power source. As can be seen from the diagram, its backbone consists of a typical class AB, however, the power supply to the amplifier voltage is already supplied from a higher-voltage "branch" of the supply, and the effect of the output signal on the supply voltage of the amplifier voltage is reduced (the resistance R36, R37 is reduced, sometimes the value of these resistors has to be reduced up to 68 ohms, especially at powers above 1 kW), since when the "second floor" of the power supply is connected, a small surge is observed on the output signal, which not everyone can catch with the ear, but it affects the stability of the circuit quite seriously ...
The control of the power supplied to the final stages is carried out by comporators LM311, the threshold of which is regulated by trimming resistors R73 and R77. Correct tuning will require either VERY good hearing or, preferably, an oscilloscope.
After the comporators, there are transistor drivers that work directly on the gates of mosfites of different structures. Since the power control power mosfites operate in switch mode, the heat generated on them is quite low, for them the maximum current flowing through the open drain-source junction is much more important. For these purposes, we use transistors IRFP240-IRFP9240 for amplifiers up to 700 W, the same, but 2 in parallel for powers up to 1 kW and IRF3710-IRF5210 for powers over 1 kW.
Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of a 1400 W class H power amplifier. The circuit differs from the previous version in that 6 pairs of transistors are already used in the final stage (4 pairs are needed for a 1000 W amplifier), and IRF3710-IRF5210 power control power switches.


Figure 5. ENLARGE

Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the Chameleon 600 G amplifier, operating in class G and with an output power of up to 600 W, both for a load of both 4 ohms and 8 ohms. In fact, the control of the "second floor" of the power supply is carried out by repeaters of the output signal voltage, only they are preliminarily supplied with an additional reference voltage of 18 volts, and as soon as the output voltage approaches the value of the "first floor" voltage by more than 18 volts, the repeaters begin to supply voltage from " second floor." The advantage of this circuitry is that there is no switching interference characteristic of class H, however, improving the sound quality requires quite serious sacrifices - the number of transistors in the control of the supply voltage of the final stage must be equal to the number of terminal transistors themselves and this will be practically at the OBR limit, i.e. e. Requires fairly good cooling.


Figure 6 ENLARGE

Figure 7 shows an amplifier circuit for power up to 1400 W box G, which uses 6 pairs of both terminal and control transistors (4 pairs are used for powers up to 1000 W)

It is recommended to adjust the protection on a real speaker by connecting the AC resistance of 6 ohms in parallel and achieving a steady glow of the VD7 LED at 75% of the maximum power

Unfortunately, this amplifier has one drawback - at high supply voltages, the differential stage starts to heat up spontaneously due to too much current flowing through it. Reduce the current - increase the distortion, which is highly undesirable. Therefore, the use of heat sinks for transistors of the differential stage was applied:

LECTURE #4
Methodology for solving problems,
including a "chain" of transformations

Classification of problems with transformation schemes

In the tasks of the All-Russian Chemistry Olympiad for schoolchildren at any stage and for any age parallel of the participants, there are always tasks with schemes of successive transformations of one substance into another, which characterize the relationship between the main classes of organic and inorganic substances. A multi-stage scheme for the transformation of one substance into another in a certain sequence is often called a "chain". In the "chain" part or all of the substances can be encrypted.

To perform these tasks, it is necessary to know the main classes of inorganic and organic compounds, the nomenclature, laboratory and industrial methods for their preparation, chemical properties, including products of thermal decomposition of substances, reaction mechanisms.

"Chains" is the best way to test a large amount of knowledge (in almost all sections of general, inorganic and organic chemistry) in one task.

Schemes of transformations of substances can be classified as follows.

1) By objects:

a) inorganic;

b) organic;

c) mixed.

2) By types or mechanisms of reactions (mainly in organic chemistry).

3)In the form of a "chain".

a) All substances are given without indicating the reaction conditions.

b) All or some substances are encrypted with letters. Different letters correspond to different substances, the reaction conditions are not indicated.

(In schemes, the arrows can point in any direction, sometimes even in both directions. And this is not a sign of reversibility! Such reactions, as a rule, contain different reagents.)

c) The substances in the scheme are fully or partially encrypted with letters and the reaction conditions or reagents are indicated.

d) In the diagrams, instead of substances, the elements that make up the substances are given in the corresponding oxidation states.

e) Schemes in which organic substances are encrypted in the form of gross formulas.

Schemes can be linear, branched, in the form of a square or other polygon (tetrahedron, cube, etc.).

Tactics and strategy for solving Olympiad problems with "chains"

In this lecture, we will stick to the classification of tasks in form presented in the "chain" of successive transformations of one substance into another.

In order to correctly solve any problem of compiling reaction equations according to the scheme, it is necessary:

1) put the numbers under or above the arrows - number the reaction equations, pay attention, which way arrows are directed in the chain of transformations;

2) decipher the substances represented by letters, properties or gross formulas (the answer should be motivated, i.e. it is necessary not only to write down the formulas of the deciphered compounds, but to give detailed explanations of the decryption);

3) write down (under the appropriate numbers) all the reaction equations;

4) carefully check whether the coefficients are set correctly;

5) write down the reaction conditions, if necessary.

There are many ways to transform one substance into another. For example, CuO can be obtained from Cu, Cu(OH) 2, CuSO 4, Cu(NO 3) 3, etc. Any correct solution. For some problems, alternative solutions are given.

Let's illustrate almost all types of "chains" that are given at the regional (III) stage. The level of these tasks is close to the program for applicants to chemical universities. Therefore, these will be examples not only from the sets of the regional stages of the All-Russian Olympiad, but also from the entrance exam tickets in chemistry at Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov. In addition, assignments from the Olympiads of recent years preceding these exams are used (for example, from the Conquer Sparrow Hills contest and the Lomonosov Olympiad). When solving tasks in which there are encrypted substances, detailed explanations of the decoding of a particular compound are given.

Let's start with the easiest tasks.

All substances are given without indication of reaction conditions

Task 1.

Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 -> FeI 2 -> Fe(OH) 2 -> Fe(OH) 3 -> Fe 2 O 3 -> Fe -> Fe 2 (SO 4) 3.

Solution

Let's number the chain:

To carry out the first reaction, both a reducing agent and a compound capable of removing the sulfate ion from the reaction sphere are needed at the same time. For example, barium iodide.

The third reaction requires an oxidizing agent. Most suitable is hydrogen peroxide, ie. only one reaction product is produced. Let's write the reaction equations.

1) Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 + 3BaI 2 = 2FeI 2 + I 2 + 3BaSO 4;

2) FeI 2 + 2NaOH = Fe(OH) 2 + 2NaI;

3) 2Fe(OH) 2 + H 2 O 2 = 2Fe(OH) 3;

4) 2Fe(OH) 3 = Fe 2 O 3 + 3H 2 O;

5) Fe 2 O 3 + 2Al \u003d 2Fe + Al 2 O 3;

6) 2Fe + 6H 2 SO 4 (50%) = Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 + 3SO 2 + 6H 2 O.

Task 2. Write the reaction equations corresponding to the following scheme:

Solution

1) CH 3 COONa + HCl = CH 3 COOH + NaCl;

2) 5CH 3 COCH 3 + 8KMnO 4 + 12H 2 SO 4 = 5CH 3 COOH + 5CO 2 + 8MnSO 4 + 4K 2 SO 4 + 17H 2 O;

3) 2CH 3 COOH + CaСO 3 \u003d (CH 3 COO) 2 Ca + H 2 O + CO 2;

4) CH 3 COCH 3 + 8NaMnO 4 + 11NaOH = CH 3 COONa + 8Na 2 MnO 4 + Na 2 CO 3 + 7H 2 O;

5) (CH 3 COO) 2 Ca + 2NaOH = 2CH 3 COONa + Ca(OH) 2

(CH 3 COO) 2 Ca + Na 2 CO 3 \u003d 2CH 3 COONa + CaCO 3;

6) (CH 3 COO) 2 Ca (tv.) \u003d CH 3 COCH 3 + CaCO 3.

Task 3.

Write the reaction equations corresponding to the following scheme:

Solution

1) 2СuCl + Cl 2 = 2CuCl 2;

2) CuCl (solid) + 3HNO 3 (conc.) = Cu (NO 3) 2 + HCl + NO 2 + H 2 O;

3) Cu + 4HNO 3 (conc.) = Cu(NO 3) 2 + 2NO 2 + 2H 2 O;

4) Cu + Cl 2 = CuCl 2;

5) 2Cl + 2NaOH + O 2 = 2CuO + H 2 O + 2NaCl + 4NH 3;

6) C 3 H 3 Cu (in reaction 6) can only be a salt of propyne (C 3 H 4), because alkynes with terminal
C = The CH-group is CH-acids with which complexes of copper and silver react.

Cl+CH = C–CH 3 = CuC = C–CH 3 + NH 3 + NH 4 Cl;

All or some substances are encrypted with letters.
The reaction conditions are not specified.

Task 4. The transformation scheme is given:

Write the equations for the reactions indicated by arrows. Name the unknown substances.

Solution

Determination of unknown substances. CuSO 4 can be obtained by dissolving Cu, CuO or Cu 2 O in sulfuric acid. Cu 2 O is not suitable, because this substance is already in the chain. Thus, the first two reactions can be the following:

1) 2Cu 2 O + O 2 = 4CuO (X 1 = CuO);

2) СuO + H 2 SO 4 = CuSO 4 + H 2 O.

1) Cu 2 O \u003d Cu + CuO

or Cu 2 O + H 2 \u003d Cu + H 2 O (X 1 \u003d Cu);

2) Cu + 2H 2 SO 4 (conc.) = СuSO 4 + SO 2 + 2H 2 O.

It is known that freshly prepared copper(II) hydroxide oxidizes aldehydes. As a result of the reaction, an orange precipitate of Cu 2 O is obtained. Therefore, X 2 - Сu (OH) 2.

3) CuSO 4 + 2NaOH \u003d Na 2 SO 4 + Cu (OH) 2;

4) 2Cu(OH) 2 + R–CHO = R–COOH + Cu 2 O + 2H 2 O

RCHO + NaOH + 2Cu(OH) 2 = RCOONa + 3H 2 O + Cu 2 O.

Answer. X 1 is either copper or copper (II) oxide; X 2 is freshly prepared copper (II) hydroxide.

Task 5(Department of Chemistry, Moscow State University, 1998). Write the equations of chemical reactions corresponding to the following sequence of transformations:

Solution

The starting (key) link in this scheme is the substance E - aldehyde. Consider reactions 4, 5, and 1. It is known that a qualitative reaction for aldehyde is its interaction with freshly prepared Cu(OH) 2 . The result is a carboxylic acid corresponding to the aldehyde and Cu 2 O. It is likely that the substance F is Cu 2 O, since substance B should be obtained from substance F. Since substance B is also obtained during the thermal decomposition of Cu (OH) 2, it is clear that B is CuO. It follows that the substance C is H 2 O. D is an alcohol, which is reduced with the help of CuO to an aldehyde. And finally, reaction 2: alcohol (D) is obtained by hydration of an alkene (in the scheme, alcohol is obtained from water!), Which means that it must contain at least two carbon atoms in the chain.

A - Cu(OH) 2 ; B—CuO;

C - H 2 O; D - RCH 2 CH 2 OH;

E, RCH 2 CHO; F - Cu 2 O.

Reaction equations:

1) Cu(OH) 2 CuO + H 2 O;

2) H 2 O + R–CH=CH 2 = R–CH 2 –CH 2 OH;

3) R–CH 2 –CH 2 OH + CuO = R–CH 2 –CH = O + Cu + H 2 O;

4) R-CH 2 -CH \u003d O + 2Cu (OH) 2 \u003d R-CH 2 -COOH + Cu 2 O + 2H 2 O

RCHO + NaOH + 2Cu(OH) 2 = RCOONa + 3H 2 O + Cu 2 O;

5) 2Cu 2 O + O 2 4CuO

Cu 2 O \u003d Cu + CuO.

Task 6 (for independent solution).

Write the reaction equations corresponding to the following scheme of successive transformations:

Name the substances X 1 and X 2 .

Substances in the scheme are fully or partially encrypted with letters
and specified flow conditions or reagents

Task 7. Write the equations of chemical reactions corresponding to the sequence of transformations:

Identify unknown substances.

Solution

When iron reacts with hydrochloric acid, iron(II) chloride is obtained. (This is due to the fact that hydrogen at the time of release does not allow iron to oxidize to an oxidation state of +3.) In the 2nd reaction, it is oxidized to, and sulfuric acid can be reduced to sulfur or SO 2. The resulting solution of iron(III) salts has an acidic environment, because These are salts formed by a weak base and a strong acid. When soda is added - a salt of a strong base and a weak acid - a joint hydrolysis occurs, which proceeds to the end, i.e. a precipitate (Fe(OH) 3) and gas (CO 2) is formed. The hydrolysis of each salt enhances the hydrolysis of the other.

X 1 - FeCl 2; X 2 - Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 and FeCl 3 (mixture);

X 3 - Fe (OH) 3 (or CO 2, or NaCl and Na 2 SO 4).

Reaction equations:

1) Fe + 2HCl = FeCl 2 + H 2;

2) 6FeCl 2 + 4H 2 SO 4 = Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 + 4FeCl 3 + S + 4H 2 O

6FeCl 2 + 6H 2 SO 4 = Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 + 4FeCl 3 + 3SO 2 + 6H 2 O;

3) 4FeCl 3 + Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 + 9Na 2 CO 3 + 9H 2 O \u003d 6Fe (OH) 3 + 9CO 2 + 12NaCl + 3Na 2 SO 4.

Task 8. Write the equations of chemical reactions corresponding to the following chain of transformations:

Solution

We number the reaction equations in the "chain":

Reaction 1 is the trimerization of acetylene (a typical method for producing benzene). Next (reaction 2) is the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene in the presence of the Lewis acid AlBr 3 . Bromination in the light (reaction 3) proceeds in the side chain. An alcoholic solution of alkali in reaction 4 is a reagent for obtaining alkyne from a dihalogenated alkane. Next comes the exchange reaction (reaction 5): hydrogen at a triple bond in alkyne and a silver ion in an ammonia solution of silver oxide. And, finally (reaction 6), the resulting silver phenylacetylenide enters into an exchange reaction with methyl iodide, as a result of which the carbon chain is lengthened.

Reaction equations:

1) 3C 2 H 2 \u003d C 6 H 6;

2) C 6 H 6 + C 2 H 5 Br \u003d C 6 H 5 -C 2 H 5 + HBr;

3) C 6 H 5 -C 2 H 5 + 2Br 2 \u003d C 6 H 5 -CBr 2 -CH 3 + 2HBr;

4) C 6 H 5 -CBr 2 -CH 3 + 2KOH \u003d C 6 H 5 -C = CH + 2KBr + H 2 O;

5) C 6 H 5 -CCH + OH \u003d AgC = C–C 6 H 5 + 2NH 3 + H 2 O;

6) AgC = C–C 6 H 5 + CH 3 I = AgI + CH 3 –C = C–C 6 H 5 .

So, encrypted substances:

In the diagrams, instead of substances, elements are given,
constituent substances in the corresponding oxidation states

Task 9. Write the reaction equations illustrating the transformation scheme:

Solution

We number the reaction equations in the chain:

In reaction 1, the Fe(II) compound is oxidized to the Fe(III) compound (these can be salts, hydroxides, oxides, etc.). Dichromates or chromates, permanganates, halogens, etc. can be taken as an oxidizing agent.

In reaction 4, iron is reduced from the +3 oxidation state to a simple substance. Usually, metallic iron is obtained by reducing its oxides (for example, chromium or aluminum at high temperatures - metallothermy).

Iron(III) oxide can be obtained by thermal decomposition of its salts or hydroxide (reaction 3). Reaction 2 is most likely exchange. Reaction 5 - the interaction of metallic iron with a non-oxidizing acid (HCl, HBr, CH 3 COOH, etc.).

Consider three of all possible solutions to this problem.

First option:

1) 2Fe 2+ + Cl 2 = 2Fe 3+ + 2Cl -;

2) Fe 3+ + 3OH - = Fe (OH) 3;

3) 2Fe(OH) 3 = Fe 2 O 3 + 3H 2 O (calcination);

5) Fe + 2H + = Fe 2+ + H 2.

Second option:

1) 2Fe(OH) 2 + H 2 O 2 = 2Fe(OH) 3;

2) Fe(OH) 3 + 3HNO 3 = Fe(NO 3) 3 + 3H 2 O;

3) 4Fe(NO 3) 3 = 2Fe 2 O 3 + 12NO 2 + 3O 2 (calcination);

4) Fe 2 O 3 + 2Al = Al 2 O 3 + 2Fe;

5) Fe + 2HCl \u003d FeCl 2 + H 2.

Third option:

1) 4FeO + O 2 = 2Fe 2 O 3;

2) Fe 2 O 3 + 3H 2 SO 4 = Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 + 3H 2 O;

3) 2Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 \u003d 2Fe 2 O 3 + 6SO 2 + 3O 2 (calcination);

4) Fe 2 O 3 + 2Al = Al 2 O 3 + 2Fe;

5) Fe + 2HCl \u003d FeCl 2 + H 2.

Schemes in which organic substances
encrypted as gross formulas

Task 10. Write the reaction equations corresponding to the following transformation scheme:

In the equations, indicate the structural formulas of the substances and the reaction conditions.

Solution

The key link in the chain is a substance with the formula C 3 H 4 O 2. According to reaction 1, the substance is reduced (an additional four hydrogen atoms appear in the gross formula), and according to reaction 3, it is oxidized (an additional two oxygen atoms appear in the formula). It is most likely that C 3 H 4 O 2 is propandial (CHO–CH 2 –CHO), then C 3 H 4 O 4 is propanediolic acid (COOH–CH 2 –COOH), and C 3 H 8 O 2 is propanediol- 1.3 (CH 2 OH–CH 2 –CH 2 OH). Arguing similarly (calculating changes in the number of atoms in a molecule), we conclude that reaction 4 yields propanediolic acid double ethyl ester (C 2 H 5 OOC–CH 2 –COOC 2 H 5). Reaction 5 - alkaline hydrolysis of the ester, which results in C 3 H 2 O 4 Na 2 - salt (NaOOC-CH 2 -COONa), and reaction 6 with the help of halomethane produces propanediolic acid double methyl ester (CH 3 OOC-CH 2 –COOCH 3).

Reaction 2 - interaction of propanediol-1,3 with methanal to form dioxane-1,3

Reaction equations:

Task 11.

Write the reaction equations corresponding to the following transformation scheme:

In the equations, indicate the structural formulas of substances and the conditions for the reactions to occur.

(Sign S N indicates that the reaction proceeds by the mechanism of nucleophilic substitution.)

Solution

We number the reaction equations in the chain:

The molecule of the substance C 8 H 9 Cl, obtained through one stage from benzene, apparently contains a phenyl radical - this follows from the ratio of carbon and hydrogen in the compound (C 6 H 5 C 2 H 4 Cl). Then X can be a substance C 6 H 5 -CH 2 -CH 3, which turns into C 6 H 5 -C 2 H 4 Cl when exposed to chlorine in the light; or X may be a substance C 6 H 5 -CH=CH 2 that gives C 6 H 5 C 2 H 4 Cl when exposed to HCl. In both cases, chlorine goes to the secondary carbon atom C 6 H 5 CHCl–CH 3.

Substance Y is obtained by the reaction of nucleophilic substitution of chlorine, most likely by an OH group (reaction 3). Then reaction 4 will be a dehydration reaction. C 8 H 8 in the context of this task, probably C 6 H 5 –CH=CH 2 . In this case, reaction 5—oxidation at the double bond with permanganate in a neutral medium—results in the formation of a diol with the empirical formula C 8 H 10 O 2 . And, finally, the appearance in the final "chain" formula (compared to substance Z) of four more carbon atoms, four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms means the esterification reaction of diol and acetic acid.

Reaction equations:

1) C 6 H 6 + CH 2 \u003d CH 2 C 6 H 5 -C 2 H 5;

2) C 6 H 5 –C 2 H 5 + Cl 2 C 6 H 5 –CHCl–CH 3 + HCl;

3) C 6 H 5 –CHCl–CH 3 + NaOH + H 2 O = C 6 H 5 CH(OH)–CH 3 + NaCl;

4) C 6 H 5 –CH(OH)–CH 3 C 6 H 5 CH=CH 2 + H 2 O;

5) 3C 6 H 5 CH=CH 2 + 2KMnO 4 + 4H 2 O = 3C 6 H 5 CH(OH)–CH 2 (OH) + 2MnO 2 + 2KOH;

6) C 6 H 5 CH(OH)–CH 2 (OH) + 2CH 3 COOH =

In conclusion, we give examples of tasks that were presented at the federal district* And final stages of the All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren in chemistry. At these stages, the transformation chains become more complex. In addition to the chain itself, additional information about the properties of encrypted substances is given. To decipher substances, it is often necessary to carry out calculations. At the end of the text of the task, it is usually proposed to answer several questions related to the properties of substances from the "chain".

Task 1 (federal district stage 2008, 9th grade).

« A, B And IN are simple substances. A reacts quickly with B when heated to 250 °C, forming dark red crystals of the compound G. Reaction B With IN after preliminary initiation proceeds very violently, leading to the formation of a colorless substance D, gaseous under normal conditions. G, in turn, can react with IN at a temperature of 300-350 ° C, while the red crystals turn into a white powder E and a connection is formed D. Substance A reacts with D only at a temperature of about 800 ° C, while forming E And IN. Substance G can easily be sublimated at reduced pressure and temperatures below 300 ° C, but when heated above 500 ° C, its vapors decompose to form a substance B and again connections E.

1. Identify Substances AE.

2. Write the equations for all the mentioned reactions in accordance with the diagram.

3. How will the substances interact? G And E with aqueous solutions of sodium sulfide and iodide, with an excess of concentrated potassium cyanide solution? Write reaction equations.

4. Write the equations of reactions occurring during the interaction of substances G, D And E with concentrated nitric acid.

Solution

1. Let's pay attention to percentages: connection D, consisting of two elements B And IN, gaseous and contains only 2.74% IN. Such a small percentage indicates that either the atomic mass of the element IN very small, or in the formula D high index on element B. Given that D at n.o. is a gas, it is most likely that IN is hydrogen. Let's test our hypothesis. If the composition D express the formula H X E at, That

2,74: (97,26/M E) = X : at.

Note that the connections where at is not equal to 1, cannot be obtained by direct interaction of the element with hydrogen during the "violent reaction after preliminary initiation". Rearranging the equation, we get M E = 35.5 X, which has a unique reasonable solution for X= 1. Thus, IN- hydrogen, B- chlorine.

Let's define the substance E, which includes 55.94% chlorine. It is formed during the reaction of a simple substance A with hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen is released, which suggests: E- chloride of the element that forms a simple substance A. For connection ECl x :

(55,94/35,45) : (44,06/M E) = X.

From here M E = 27.92 X. At X= 1 and 3, respectively, silicon (28) and krypton (84) are obtained, but this contradicts their valence capabilities and the condition of the problem, but at X= 2, iron (56) is obtained, which, in reaction with hydrogen chloride, actually forms FeCl 2 . During the direct reaction of iron with chlorine, another chloride is formed - FeCl 3.

So, encrypted substances:

A– Fe; B– Cl2; IN– H2;

G– FeCl 3 ; D– HCl; E- FeCl 2 .

2. Reaction equations in the chain:

3. 2FeCl 3 + 3Na 2 S = 2FeS + S + 6NaCl;

FeCl 2 + Na 2 S \u003d FeS + 2NaCl;

2FeCl 3 + 2NaI \u003d 2FeCl 2 + I 2 + 2NaCl

(reactions are possible:

2FeCl 3 + 6NaI \u003d 2FeI 2 + I 2 + 6NaCl

6FeCl 3 + 18NaI = 2Fe 3 I 8 + I 2 + 18NaCl);

FeCl 3 + 6KCN = K 3 + 3KCl;

FeCl 2 + 6KCN = K 4 + 2KCl.

4. FeCl 3 + 4HNO 3 \u003d Fe (NO 3) 3 + NOCl + Cl 2 + 2H 2 O;

3HCl + HNO 3 \u003d NOCl + Cl 2 + 2H 2 O;

2FeCl 2 + 8HNO 3 \u003d 2Fe (NO 3) 3 + 2NOCl + Cl 2 + 4H 2 O.

Task 2 (federal district stage 2007, 10th grade).

"Under AE(except IN) substances containing transition metals are encrypted.

Quantitative composition of substances A And WITH:

A:(Cu)=49.3%, (O)=33.1%, (S)=16.6%.

C:(Co)=50.9%, (O)=34.5%, (S)=13.8%.

1. Identify Substances AE and write the reaction equations.

2. In which case in the above scheme the substance IN it turns out amorphous and in what crystalline? Propose one alternative method for the synthesis of crystalline and amorphous substances IN.

3. What is the trivial name of the substance D

Solution

1. Adding up all the given mass fractions (as for a substance A, and for the substance WITH), we will not get 100%. This means that these substances contain at least one more element!

Substance A:

Given the small mass fraction of the unknown element, we can assume that it is hydrogen. Then the gross formula of the compound A: Cu 3 S 2 O 8 H 4, or Cu 2 SO 3 CuSO 3 2H 2 O.

Substance WITH:

Similarly to the previous case, we can assume that here the unknown element is hydrogen. Then the formula of the substance WITH will be Co 2 (OH) 2 SO 3 .

Substance IN is Al(OH) 3 . When aluminum sulfate reacts with sodium sulfite, amorphous aluminum hydroxide is formed. In the second case, when triethylammonium chloride reacts with Na, crystalline aluminum hydroxide is formed.

When interacting IN And WITH when heated, cobalt aluminate is formed - Co (AlO 2) 2.

In an alkaline environment, the reduction of the permanganate ion goes either to the oxidation state of +6 or to +5, respectively E- K 2 MnO 4 or K 3 MnO 4.

A– Cu 2 SO 3 CuSO 3 2H 2 O; B– Al(OH) 3 ; C– Co 2 (OH) 2 SO 3; D– CoAl 2 O 4 ; E- K 2 MnO 4 or K 3 MnO 4.

Reaction equations in the "chain":

1) 3CuSO 4 + 3Na 2 SO 3 \u003d Cu 2 SO 3 CuSO 3 2H 2 O + 3Na 2 SO 4 + SO 2;

2) 3Na 2 SO 3 + Al 2 (SO 4) 3 + 3H 2 O \u003d 2Al (OH) 3 + 3Na 2 SO 4 + 3SO 2

(along with aluminum hydroxide, basic sulfates of various compositions will be present in this phase, but it is traditionally believed that amorphous aluminum hydroxide is formed);

3) Na + Cl \u003d Al (OH) 3 + NaCl + NEt 3 + H 2 O;

4) 2CoSO 4 + 2Na 2 SO 3 + H 2 O \u003d Co 2 (OH) 2 SO 3 + SO 2 + 2Na 2 SO 4;

5) Co 2 (OH) 2 SO 3 + 4Al (OH) 3 2CoAl 2 O 4 + SO 2 + 7H 2 O;

6) 2KMnO 4 + Na 2 SO 3 + 2KOH = 2K 2 MnO 4 + Na 2 SO 4 + H 2 O

KMnO 4 + Na 2 SO 3 + 2KOH = K 3 MnO 4 + Na 2 SO 4 + H 2 O.

2. Solutions of aluminum salts have an acidic environment:

3+ H + + 2+ 2H + + + .

When an alkali (or an aqueous solution of ammonia), carbonates, or hydrocarbonates is added, an increase in the pH of the solution leads to a shift in the equilibrium to the right and the polymerization of aquahydroxo complexes through bridging hydroxo and oxo groups into polynuclear complexes. As a result, a product of composition Al 2 O 3 x H 2 O ( X > 3) (amorphous precipitate with no constant composition).

Amorphous aluminum hydroxide production method:

Al 2 (SO 4) 3 + 6KOH \u003d 2Al (OH) 3 + 3K 2 SO 4

Al 2 (SO 4) 3 + 6KHCO 3 \u003d 2Al (OH) 3 + 3K 2 SO 4 + 6CO 2.

The method for obtaining crystalline aluminum hydroxide is to slowly pass CO 2 through a solution of sodium tetrahydroxoaluminate:

Na + CO 2 \u003d NaHCO 3 + Al (OH) 3.

In the second case, a product of a certain composition is obtained - Al (OH) 3.

3. Cobalt aluminate has the trivial name "thenar blue".

Task 3 (final stage 2008, 10th grade).

"The scheme below shows the transformations of compounds ATO containing the same element X.

Additionally known:

Element X occurs naturally as a mineral A(content by mass: Na - 12.06%,
X - 11.34%, H - 5.29%, the rest is oxygen);

B- a binary compound containing 15.94% (by mass) X;

IN is a colorless gas with an air density of about 1;

Compound D used in medicine in the form of an alcohol solution;

d-modification W similar to graphite in physical properties;

Substance AND is widely used in organic synthesis as a reducing agent;

Molecule TO(almost flat) has an axis of symmetry of the third order (with a complete rotation around this axis of symmetry, the molecule TO reproduces its position in space three times); in the 1H NMR spectrum of the compound TO two signals are observed.

1. Define an element X. Support your answer with a calculation.

2. Give formulas of compounds AAND. Name the mineral A.

3. Draw Structural Formula TO and name this connection.

4. Write the equations for all the reactions shown in the diagram.

5. Write the reaction equation X(amorphous) with a mixture of concentrated nitric and hydrofluoric acids.

6. What explains the similarity of physical properties - modification W with graphite?

Solution

1. binary substance B formed by the interaction of a mineral A with calcium fluoride in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid. It can be assumed, that B in addition to element X contains fluorine. Given that the valence of fluorine in compounds is 1, B can be written as XF n. Let's define element X:

Where M r(X) is the relative atomic mass of the element X, n- valence X in the compound B. From this equation we find

M r(X) = 3.603 n.

Looping through the values n from 1 to 8. The only reasonable option is obtained when n = 3: M r(X) = 10.81, i.e. element X is boron, (and the substance B– boron trifluoride BF 3).

2. Find the composition of the substance A.

those. Na 2 B 4 H 20 O 17, or Na 2 B 4 O 7 10H 2 O, - mineral "borax" (substance A).

When boron trifluoride is reduced with sodium hydride, a colorless gas is formed IN, most likely representing the hydrogen compound of boron. Since the density IN by air about 1, molecular weight IN is close to 29, therefore, substance B is diborane B 2 H 6 ( M r = 28).

Further interaction of diborane with an excess of NaH in ether leads to the formation of a complex hydride widely used in organic synthesis as a reducing agent, sodium tetrahydroborate Na (substance AND).

Burning diborane produces boron oxide, G– B 2 O 3 , the reduction of which with metallic aluminum leads to the formation of amorphous boron. Boron oxide reacts with water, resulting in the formation of orthoboric acid H 3 BO 3 (substance D, in the form of an alcohol solution is used in medicine under the name "boric alcohol"). Boric acid reacts with concentrated hydrofluoric acid to give a complex acid, which, after treatment with sodium hydroxide solution, is converted to sodium tetrafluoroborate Na (compound E).

Consider the interaction of boron trifluoride with gaseous ammonia. BF 3 is a typical Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor); the ammonia molecule has an unshared pair of electrons, i.e. NH 3 can act as a Lewis base. When boron trifluoride reacts with ammonia, an adduct of the composition BF 3 NH 3 is formed (compound AND) (the covalent bond between boron and nitrogen atoms is formed by the donor-acceptor mechanism). Heating this adduct above 125°C leads to the formation of boron nitride BN (compound W).

3. When diborane reacts with gaseous ammonia when heated, the product is formed TO containing hydrogen, boron, and probably nitrogen. Molecule TO has a flat structure, its high symmetry indicates a possible carbon analogue of this compound - benzene. However, in order for the molecule TO Since there were two types of hydrogen atoms and there was a third-order symmetry axis, it is necessary to alternately place nitrogen and boron atoms in the "benzene" ring instead of carbon atoms (Fig.). Compound TO called "inorganic benzene" (borazol).

4. The equations for the reactions described in the problem are:

1) Na 2 B 4 O 7 10Н 2 О + 6CaF 2 + 8H 2 SO 4 (conc.) = 4BF 3 + 2NaHSO 4 + 6CaSO 4 + 17H 2 O;

2) 2BF 3 + 6NaH = B 2 H 6 + 6NaF;

3) B 2 H 6 + 3O 2 = B 2 O 3 + 3H 2 O;

4) B 2 O 3 + 2Al = Al 2 O 3 + 2B;

5) B 2 H 6 + 2NaH 2Na;

6) B 2 O 3 + 3H 2 O \u003d 2H 3 BO 3;

7) H 3 BO 3 + 4HF (conc.) \u003d H + 3H 2 O,

H + NaOH \u003d Na + H 2 O;

8) BF 3 + NH 3 = BF 3 NH 3;

9) 4BF 3 NH 3 BN + 3NH 4 BF 4 ;

10) 3B 2 H 6 + 6NH 3 2B 3 N 3 H 6 + 12H 2 .

5. B (amorphous) + 3HNO 3 (conc.) + 4HF (conc.) = H + 3NO 2 + 3H 2 O.

6. Note that the BN particle is isoelectronic to the C 2 particle, the sum of the covalent radii of the boron and nitrogen atoms is approximately equal to the sum of two covalent radii of the carbon atom. In addition, boron and nitrogen have the ability to form four covalent bonds (three by the exchange mechanism and one by the donor-acceptor mechanism). Accordingly, BN also forms two structural modifications - graphite-like (-modification) and diamond-like (-modification). That is why -BN is very similar in physical properties to graphite (refractory, lubricating properties).

However, Lanzar's circuitry can be somewhat changed, significantly improving performance, increasing efficiency without using an additional power source, if you pay attention to the weaknesses of an existing amplifier. First of all, the reason for the increase in distortion is the changing current flowing through the transistors, and changing over fairly large ranges. It has already been found out that the main amplification of the signal occurs in the last stage of the UNA, which is controlled by the transistor of the differential stage. The range of change in the current flowing through the differential stage is quite large, since it needs to open the transistor of the last stage of the UNA, and the presence of a non-linear element as a load (base-emitter junction) does not contribute to maintaining the current with a changing voltage. In addition, in the last stage of the UNA, the current also varies over a fairly wide range.
One of the solutions to this problem is the introduction of a current amplifier after the differential stage - a banal emitter follower, which unloads the differential stage and allows you to more clearly control the current flowing through the base of the last UNA stage. To stabilize the current through the last stage of the UNA, current generators are usually introduced, but this option will be postponed for the time being, since it makes sense to try a lighter option, which significantly affects the increase in efficiency.
The idea is to use a voltage boost, but not for a separate stage, but for the entire UNA. One of the first options for implementing this concept was the power amplifier A. Ageev, quite popular in the mid-80s, published in RADIO No. 8, 1982 (Figure 45, model AGEEV.CIR).

Figure 45

In this circuit, the voltage from the output of the amplifier is supplied, through the divider R6 / R3, for the positive shoulder and R6 / R4 for the negative, to the power terminals of the operational amplifier used as the UNA. Moreover, the level of constant voltage is stabilized by D1 and D2, but the value of the variable component just depends on the amplitude of the output signal. Thus, it was possible to obtain a much larger amplitude at the output of the op-amp, without exceeding the value of its maximum supply voltage, and it became possible to power the entire amplifier from + -30 V with a maximum supply voltage of +-15 V). If you switch to mode TRANSITION STUDY, then the following waveforms will appear on the "oscilloscope screen":


Figure 46

Here, the blue line is the plus of the supply voltage, the red line is the minus of the supply voltage, the green is the output voltage, the pink is the output of the positive power supply of the op-amp, the black is the output of the negative supply voltage of the op-amp. As can be seen from the "oscillograms", the value of the supply voltage of the op-amp remains at the level of 18 V, but only relative to each other, and not relative to the common wire. This made it possible to raise the voltage at the output of the op-amp to such a value that even after two emitter followers it reaches 23 V.
Based on the idea of ​​​​a floating power supply, which was used by Ageev, as well as the introduction of a current amplifier after a differential stage, a power amplifier was designed, the circuit of which is shown in Figure 47, model Chameleon_BIP.CIR, called Chameleon, since it allows you to adjust the main modes to the used supply voltage - adjustment of the quiescent current of the last UNA stage.


Figure 47 (ENLARGE)

In addition to the circuit solutions described above, another one was introduced - the regulation of the quiescent current of the last stage of the UNA, moreover, with thermal stabilization elements. The adjustment of the quiescent current of the last stage of the UNA is carried out by a trimming resistor R12. On transistors Q3 and Q6, emitter followers are made that unload the differential stage, on the chains R20, C12, R24, R26 for the positive shoulder and on R21, C13, R25, R27 for the negative shoulder, a voltage boost for UNA is made. In addition to increasing the efficiency, the voltage boost performs another secondary function - due to the fact that the actual signal amplitude decreased, the range of current change through the last cascade of the UNA also decreased, which made it possible to abandon the introduction of a current generator.
As a result, the THD level at an input voltage of 0.75 V was:


Figure 49

As can be seen from the resulting graph, the THD level decreased by almost 10 times in relation to Lanzar with PBVK.
And here the hands begin to itch - having such a low THD level, I want to increase my own gain coffin, add more terminal transistors and "overclock" this amplifier to the level of a variety one with an output power of about 1 kW.
For experiments, you should open the file Chameleon_BIP_1kW.CIR to conduct a series of primary "measurements" - quiescent currents, the value of the constant voltage at the output, frequency response, THD level.
The results are impressive, but...
Just at this moment, practice intervenes in theory, and not in the best way.
To find out where the problem lurks, you should run DC CALCULATION and turn on the power dissipation display mode. You should pay attention to the differential stage transistors - about 90 mW is dissipated on each. For the TO-92 case, this means that the transistor begins to heat up its case, and given that both transistors should be as close to each other as possible in order to warm up evenly and maintain equal quiescent currents. It turns out that the "neighbors" not only warm themselves, but also warm each other up. Just in case, it should be recalled that when heated, the current through the transistor increases, therefore, the quiescent current of the differential stage will begin to increase and change the operating modes of the remaining stages.
For clarity, set the final stage quiescent current to 200 mA, and then assign a different name to transistors Q3 and Q6, add a lower dash and one right in the designation window to get the following: 2N5410_1 and 2N5551_1. This is necessary to exclude the influence of the variable parameters of the differential stage transistors. Next, you need to set the temperature of the differential cascade transistors to, for example, 80 degrees.
As can be seen from the resulting calculations, the quiescent current has decreased, and by so much that a "step" will already be observed. It is not difficult to calculate that with an initial quiescent current of 50 mA, the quiescent current of the final stage with the heating of the differential stage will become almost zero, i.e. the amplifier will go to class B.
The conclusion suggests itself - it is necessary to reduce the power dissipation of the differential stage, but this can only be done by reducing the quiescent current of these transistors, or by reducing the supply voltage. The first will cause an increase in distortion, and the second - a decrease in power.
There are two more options for solving the problem - you can use heat sinks for these transistors, but this method, despite its performance, does not add much reliability - constant purge of the case is required to prevent the heatsinks from heating to critical temperatures in a poorly ventilated case. Or, once again, change the circuitry.
However, before the next change, this amplifier should still be finalized, namely, increase the ratings of R24 and R25 to 240 ohms, which will entail a slight decrease in the supply voltage of UNA, and of course, reduce the supply voltage to + -90 V, and, well, slightly reduce its own gain coff .


Cooling of the differential stage of the Chameleon amplifier of the previous version

As a result of these manipulations, it turns out that this amplifier at an input voltage of 1V is capable of developing about 900 W at a load of 4 Ohms, at a THD level of 0.012%, and at an input voltage of 0.75 V - 0.004%.
To insure the transistors of the differential cascade, you can put on pieces of the tube from the telescopic antenna of the radio. This requires 6 pieces 15 mm long and 5 mm in diameter. Place thermal paste inside the tube, solder the tubes together, after putting them on the differential stage transistors and the emitter followers following them, and then connect them to the common one.
After these operations, the amplifier turns out to be quite stable, but it is still better to use it at a supply voltage of + -80 V, since an increase in the mains voltage (if the power supply is not stabilized) will increase the power supply of the amplifier and there will be a margin for temperature conditions.
Radiators for the differential stage can not be used if the supply voltage does not exceed + -75 V.
The printed circuit board drawing is in the archive, the installation is also in 2 floors, the performance check and adjustment are the same as in the previous amplifier.

VP AMP or STORM or?

Next, an amplifier better known as "V. PEREPELKIN AMPLIFIER" or "VP AMPLIFIER" will be considered, however, by putting OR in the title of the chapter, there was no intention in any way to encroach on V. Perepelkin's work on designing a series of his amplifiers - a lot of work has been done and in In the end, we got pretty good and versatile amplifiers. However, the circuitry used has been known for a long time and the attacks on STORM about overdrawing, cloning are not entirely fair and further consideration of circuitry solutions will provide comprehensive information about the design of both amplifiers.
In the previous amplifier, there was a problem with the self-heating of the differential stage at high supply voltages and the maximum power that can be obtained using the proposed circuitry was indicated.
The heating of the differential stage itself can be excluded, and one of the solutions to this problem is to divide the dissipated power into several elements, but the most popular is to turn on two transistors connected in series, one of which works as part of the differential stage, the second is a voltage divider.
Figure 60 shows diagrams using this principle:


Figure 60

In order to understand what happens with this solution, you should open the WP2006.CIR file, which is an amplifier model from V. Perepelkin, known on the Internet as WP.
The amplifier uses a UN, built according to the principles of the above examples, but slightly modified - the output stage of the UNA does not work for a thermal stabilization transistor, as is usually the case, but is actually a separate device with one output - the junction point of the collectors of transistors Q11 and Q12 (Figure 61) .


Figure 61(ENLARGE)

The circuit contains the actual ratings of one of the amplifiers, however, the model had to select the resistor R28, otherwise the output of the amplifier had an unacceptable constant voltage. When checking DC CALCULATION the thermal modes of the differential stage are quite acceptable - 20 ... 26 mW is allocated on the differential stage. The transistor Q3 installed above dissipates a little more than 80 mW, which is also within the norm. As can be seen from the calculations, the introduction of transistors Q3 and Q4 is quite logical, and the problem of self-heating of the differential stage is solved quite successfully.
It should be noted here that Q3, however, like Q4, can dissipate a little more than 100 mW, since the heating of this transistor affects the change in the quiescent current of only the last stage of the UNA. In addition, this transistor has a rather rigid binding to the base current - for a constant voltage it operates in the emitter follower mode, and for a variable component it is a cascade with a common base. But the amplification of the alternating voltage is not large. The main load to increase the amplitude is still on the last stage of the UNA and the parameters of the used transistors are still subject to higher requirements. The final stage uses a voltage boost organized on capacitors C16 and C17, which made it possible to significantly increase the efficiency.
Given the nuances of this amplifier and the desire to use a traditional output stage, the next model was created - Stormm AB.CIR. The schematic diagram is shown in Figure 62.


Figure 62 (ENLARGE)

To increase the efficiency in this amplifier, a floating supply for the UNA was used, an integrator on X2 was added to automatically maintain zero at the output, and an adjustment of the quiescent current (R59) of the last stage of the UNA was also introduced. All this made it possible to reduce the thermal power released on the transistors of the differential cascade to the level of 18 mW. In this version, the overload protection of the Lynx-16 amplifier was used (it is understood that Q23 controls the thyristor, which in turn controls the optocoupler connecting pins T4 and T5). In addition, another not quite traditional move was used in the last amplifier - high-capacity capacitors were installed in parallel with resistors R26 and R27, which made it possible to significantly increase the gain coefficient of this stage - it's no secret that resistors in emitter circuits are used for thermal stabilization and the more the value of this resistor, the cascade will be more thermally stable, but the coff gain of the cascade is proportionally reduced. Well, since this section is quite responsible, then as capacitors C15 and C16 you need to use capacitors that can recharge quickly enough. Ordinary electrolytes (TK or SK) only introduce additional distortion due to their inertia, but capacitors used in computer technology, often referred to as pulsed (WL), do an excellent job with their tasks.(Figure 63).


Figure 63

All these changes made it possible to increase thermal stability, as well as quite seriously reduce the THD level (you can verify this, as well as check the degree of thermal stability yourself).
The schematic diagram for the two-block version is shown in Figure 64, model Stormm_BIP.CIR


Figure 64 (ENLARGE)

The name STORM was given for the possibility of a painless increase in the supply voltage to + -135, which in turn makes it possible, using separate switches, to transfer the amplifier to class G or H, and these are powers up to 2000 watts. Actually, the VP-2006 amplifier also translates well into these classes, more precisely, the progenitor was designed for class H, but since such large powers are practically not needed in everyday life, and the potential in this circuitry is quite good, the switches were removed and a pure class AB appeared .

HOLTON AMPLIFIER

The principle of separation of the dissipated power of the differential stage is also used in the rather popular Holton amplifier, the circuit diagram of which is shown in Figure 65.


Figure 65 (ENLARGE)

The amplifier model is in the HOLTON_bip.CIR file. It differs from the classic version by the use of bipolar transistors as the final stage, therefore it is strongly recommended to use field effect transistors as the penultimate stage.
The values ​​​​of the resistors R3, R5, R6, R7, R8 are also slightly corrected, the zener diode D3 is replaced with a higher voltage one.. All these replacements are caused by the need to return the quiescent current of the stage differential to a level that provides minimal distortion, as well as to more evenly distribute the dissipated power. When using an amplifier with a power supply less than that used in this model, it is necessary to select these elements in such a way that the necessary quiescent current of the differential stage returns again.
Of the circuitry features - a current generator in a differential stage, the symmetry of the passage of the input signal with respect to the feedback signal. When the UNA is powered from a separate power source, it is possible to achieve a really maximum output power.
The appearance of the finished amplifier (300 W version with bipolar output) is shown in Figures 66 and 67.

ALMOST NATALY

This is a rather simplified version of the high-quality NATALY amplifier, however, the parameters of the simplified version turned out to be quite good. Model in the file Nataly_BIP.CIR, schematic diagram in Figure 68.

Sukhov's remix because this is the very same amplifier by VV N. Sukhov, it is only performed according to a symmetrical scheme and uses a completely imported equipment. Schematic diagram in Figure 69, model in file Suhov_sim_BIP.CIR.


Figure 69 (ENLARGE)

I would like to dwell on this model in more detail, since it was embedded in metal (Figure 69-1).


Figure 69-1

It can be seen even with the naked eye that the UN looks somewhat peculiar - details are soldered on top, the purpose of which is worth explaining. They are designed to calm this amplifier, which turned out to be very prone to excitement.
By the way, it was not possible to calm him completely. Stability appears only at a quiescent current of the final stage of the order of 150 mA. The sound is not bad at all, the THD dial meter, which has a limit of 0.1%, practically does not show any signs of life, and the calculated values ​​​​are also very indicative (Figure 69-2), but the reality says something completely different - either a serious processing of the board is required, the board in which most of the recommendations on the layout of boards were observed, or the rejection of this circuitry.


Figure 69-2

To say that this amplifier failed? You can, of course you can, but it is THIS amplifier that is an example of the fact that modeling is far from reality and a real amplifier can differ significantly from the model.
Therefore, this amplifier is written off as a puzzle, and several more are added to it, which were used together with the same UN.
The proposed options have an end stage operating with its own environmental protection, i.e. having their own coffee. gain, which allows you to reduce the gain of the UNA itself and, as a result, reduce the THD level.

Minor improvements, the introduction of a buffer amplifier on a good op-amp with repeaters, to increase the load capacity, did not have a very bad effect on the parameters of this amplifier, which, in addition, is equipped with a balanced input. Model VL_POL.CIR , circuit diagram in Figure 70. Models VL_bip.CIR - bipolar variant and VL_komb.CIR - with poles in the penultimate cascade.

A rather popular amplifier, however, the model of the original version did not impress (file OM.CIR), so some changes were made while regrinding the UN for the proposed design. The results of the change can be found using the file with the OM_bip.CIR model, the schematic diagram is shown in Figure 71.

With reference data, everything seems to be clear, however ...
The rampant profit race is causing problems not only at the retail level in a tent in the market, but also in serious enterprises. The license for the release of IRFP240-IRFP920 was bought by Vishay Siliconix Corporation and these transistors are already different from those that were previously produced I international R ectifier. The main difference is that even in one batch, the gain of the transistors varies and is quite strong. Of course, it will not be possible to find out for what reason the quality has decreased (deterioration of the technological process or rejection on the Russian market), so you have to use what is available and from THIS you need to choose what is suitable.
Ideally, of course, both the maximum voltage and maximum current should be checked, however, the main parameter for the amplifier builder is the gain coefficient and it is especially important if several transistors connected in parallel are used.
Of course, it is possible to use the amplification coefficient meter available in almost every digital multimeter, but there is only one problem - for transistors of medium and high power, the amplification coefficient strongly depends on the current flowing through the collector. In multimeters, the collector current in the transistor tester is a few milliamps and its use for medium and high power transistors is tantamount to guessing on coffee grounds.
It is for this reason that a stand was assembled for rejecting power transistors, not even for rejection, but for selection. The schematic diagram of the stand is shown in Figure 72, the appearance - Figure 73. The stand is used for selection of transistors with the same gain coefficient, but not how to find out the value of h 21.


Figure 73


Figure 74

The stand was assembled within three hours and it literally used what was lying in the "ANTIQUES" box, i.е. something that is not difficult to find even for a novice solderer.
Indicator - level indicator of a reel-to-reel tape recorder, type M68502. The indicator was opened at the place where the top and bottom covers were glued, the standard scale was removed, and instead a scale was pasted, which can be printed using the DOK document and contains reminders for switching the operating mode. The sectors are filled with colored markers. The indicator covers were then glued together with SUPER GLUE (Figure 75).


Figure 75

Toggle switches - in fact, any toggle switches with two fixed positions, and one must ALWAYS have TWO switching groups.
Diode bridge VD10 - any diode bridge with a maximum current of at least 2 A.
Mains transformer - any transformer with a power of at least 15 W and an alternating voltage of 16 ... 18 V (the voltage at the KRENka input should be 22 ... 26 V, the KRENka must be connected to the radiator and preferably with a good area).
C1 and C2 have a sufficiently large capacitance, which ensures that the needle does not shake during measurements. C1 for 25 V, C2 for 35 or 50 V.
Resistors R6 and R7 are pressed through a mica gasket to the radiator on which Krenka is installed, coated with plenty of thermal paste and pressed with a strip of fiberglass using self-tapping screws.
The most interesting is the design of the clamps for connecting the outputs of the transistors under study. For the manufacture of this connector, a strip of foil fiberglass was required, in which holes were drilled at a distance from the output of the TO-247 case transistor, and the foil was cut with a clerical cutter. Three knives from the SCART-MAMA television connector were soldered into the holes on the side of the foil. The knives were stacked together, almost close to each other (Figure 76).


Figure 76

The distance "L" is chosen in such a way that the bodies of transistors TO-247 (IRFP240-IRFP9240) and TO-3 (2SA1943-2SC5200) are put on the fixing pin.


Figure 77

Using the stand is quite simple:
When selecting field-effect transistors, the mode is set MOSFET and the type of transistor is selected - with an N channel or a P channel. Then the transistor is put on a hairpin, and its leads are applied to the contact blades of the connector. Then a variable resistor, let's call it CALIBRATION, the arrow is set to the middle position (which will correspond to the current flowing through the transistor 350-500 mA). Next, the transistor is removed and the next candidate is installed in its place for use in the amplifier and the position of the arrow is memorized. Next, a third candidate is identified. If the arrow deviated in the same way as on the first transistor, then the first and third can be considered basic and the transistors can be selected according to their gain coefficient. If the arrow on the third transistor deviated in the same way as on the second one and their readings differ from the first one, then recalibration is performed, i.e. re-setting the arrow to the middle position and now the second and third transistors are considered basic, and the first is not suitable for this batch of sorting. It should be noted that there are quite a lot of identical transistors in a batch, but there is a chance that recalibration may be required even after selecting an already solid number of transistors.


Figure 78

Transistors of a different structure are selected in the same way, only by switching the right toggle switch to the position P-CHANNEL.
To test bipolar transistors, the left toggle switch is switched to the position BIPOLAR(Figure 79).


Figure 79

Finally, it remains to be added that having a stand on hand, it was impossible to refrain from checking the amplification of Toshiba products (2SA1943 and 2SC5200).
The test result is rather sad. The storage transistors have been grouped in fours of one lot, as the most convenient storage for personal use - mostly ordered amplifiers are either 300W (two pairs) or 600W (four pairs). SEVEN (!) Quads were checked and only in one quadruple of direct and in two quadruples of reverse transistors the amplification coefficient was almost the same, i.e. the arrow after calibration deviated from the middle by no more than 0.5 mm. In the remaining quadruples, a copy was necessarily found either with a larger or smaller gain cof and no longer suitable for parallel connection (deviation by more than 1.5 mm). Transistors were purchased in February-March of this year, since the purchase of last year's November ended.
The indication of deviations in mm is purely conditional, for ease of understanding. When using the indicator of the type indicated above, the resistance R3 is equal to 0.5 Ohm (two 1 Ohm resistors in parallel) and the indicator arrow is in the middle, the collector current was 374 mA, and with a deviation of 2 mm it was 338 mA and 407 mA. With simple arithmetic operations, it can be calculated that the deviations of the flowing current are 374 - 338 \u003d 36 in the first case and 407 - 374 \u003d 33 in the second, and this is slightly less than 10%, which is no longer suitable for parallel switching transistors.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS

Not all of the mentioned amplifiers have printed circuit boards, since the processing of printed circuit boards takes quite a lot of time + assembly to check the performance and identify the nuances of installation.
