RF discharges at atmospheric pressure

The described plasma source is based on the RF torch discharge. The powered RF electrode of the torch discharge plasma source is made from the thin metal pipe with an inner diameter of 1–2 mm and with a length of several cm. The working gas (argon pure or with an admixture of reactive components) flows through the RF electrode as the nozzle. The electrode is connected through the matching unit to the RF generator of the frequency of 13.56 MHz.The advantage of this described plasma source consists in the fact that the torch discharge remains stable up to the atmospherical pressure of the working gas even in the liquid environments. Up to now the torch discharge has been used only for treatment in liquid environment only for archaeological artefacts. For further applications it is necessary to additional study of this phenomenon. While in previous papers we presented a measurement of different temperatures from spectra emitted by plasma, there is drawn attention to equiintensity maps inside the nozzle.     

Arc root dynamics in high power plasma torches — Evidence of chaotic behavior

Although plasma torches have been commercially available for about 50 years, areas such as plasma gun design, process efficiency, reproducibility, plasma stability, torch lives etc. have remained mostly unattended. Recent torch developments have been focusing on the basic understanding of the plasma column and its dynamics inside the plasma torch, the interaction of plasma jet and the powders, the interaction of the plasma jet with surroundings and the impingement of the jet on the substrate. Two of the major causes of erratic and poor performance of a variety of thermal plasma processes are currently identified as the fluctuations arising out of the arc root movement on the electrodes inside the plasma torch and the fluid dynamic instabilities arising out of entrainment of the air into the plasma jet. This paper reviews the current state of understanding of these fluctuations as well as the dynamics of arc root movement in plasma torches. The work done at the author’s laboratory on studying the fluctuations in arc voltage, arc current, acoustic emissions and optical emissions are also presented. These fluctuations are observed to be chaotic and interrelated. Real time monitoring and controlling the arc instabilities through chaos characterization parameters can greatly contribute to the understanding of electrode erosion as well as improvement of plasma torch lifetime.

Modelling of an argon plasma flow

One-fluid MHD equations are numerically solved for an axisymmetric flow of argon inside and outside a discharge chamber of a cascaded plasma torch. Arc currents of 100 and 150 A, flow rates of 10 and 30 slpm, and two different optical thicknesses are assumed. The flow is shown to be only weakly compressible, of the Mach number below 0.3. The calculated torch powers range from 3 to 7 kW, the energy lost by radiation is (1–3) kW. Axial velocities of (200–600) m/s and temperatures of (12 500–14 400) K are found at the torch nozzle exit and compared with available experimental data. Inside the chamber, several recirculation zones are predicted. The physical model and the chamber shape used can readily be extended for a hybrid plasma torch with the simultaneous stabilization of the electric arc inside the chamber by argon and, e.g., water swirl.Dedicated to Professor Jií Horáek on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Three—dimensional modelling of the flow and heat transfer in a laminar non—transferred arc plasma torch

By experimental observation we show that the plasma flow and heat transfer within a direct current (DC) nontransferred arc plasma torch always show appreciable three-dimensional (3D) peculiarity even when the geometrical construction of the torch and working gas admission and external electrical collection conditions are completely axisymmetrical.Previous two-dimensional (2D) modelling studies cannot predict the 3D peculiarity of the plasma torch.We have successfully performed 3D modelling,and in this paper we present the modelling results for the plasma flow and heat transfer characteristics in a laminar DC non-transferred are argon plasma torch.The predicted arc-root location on the surface of the torch anode and arc voltage compare favourably with the corresponding experimental results.
