Possibility of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet Application in Decontamination of Heat Sensitive Surfaces

Abstract

Device working in ambient environment, which will generate plasma of parameters enabling treatment and sterilization of inanimate materials and living tissues was developed. Features of the proposed plasma jet are ability to work with various feed-gases in several gas flow, frequency and current-voltage regimes. LabVIEW virtual measurement sub-system for monitoring and measurement process was applied. Electrical characteristics of plasma reactor, temperature measurement results are presented, and achieved ozone concentrations are given.

Supply Systems of Non-Thermal Plasma Reactors. Construction Review with Examples of Applications

“…APPJ belongs to a group of discharge plasma reactors whose demands for power supply system are very special, mainly because of the strong sensitivity of the V-I characteristics of power supply to changes of the receiver electrical parameters and necessity to limit value of current, to ensure a non-thermal plasma generation in the working space of APPJ [60][61][62][63][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75].…”

“…The latter is represented by the author of this review, who, together with a team from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electrotechnology of the Lublin University of Technology, for over 30 years conducts research on the generation of non-thermal plasma by means of electrical discharges, in particular on the power supply systems of these special energy receivers, in cooperation with the above-mentioned representatives of the basic and applied sciences. The research has resulted in many monographs, publications, doctorates and patents, most of which are cited in this review [9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]34,36,37,[41][42][43][44][45][47][48][49][50][51][52][53]55,[57][58][59][60][61][65][66][67][68][71][72]…”
