流气条件下表面放电光泵浦源重复频率运行的稳定性

以高纯度Al2O3陶瓷作为放电基底,研制了重复频率表面放电光泵浦源模块,详细地讨论了流气条件下泵浦源的放电抖动和辐射强度波动,并采用高速相机拍摄了泵浦源的放电等离子体图像,研究了等离子体的空间稳定性。研究发现:在流气状态下,泵浦源的重复频率为1～5 Hz时,泵浦源的放电抖动与放电等离子体的空间稳定性受充电电压和气体流量的影响较大,随运行频率的变化较小;辐射强度波动主要与充电电压相关,基本不受气体流量和重复频率变化的影响;在大流量条件下,提高充电电压,可以有效降低混合气体流动对泵浦源放电抖动的影响,减小辐射强度波动,改善放电等离子体的空间重复性;当充电电压达到26.8 kV时,气流量在60～300 L/min范围内,泵浦源的放电抖动可以小于45 ns,辐射强度波动小于2%,放电等离子体有很好空间稳定性。研究结果表明该表面放电光泵浦源模块在流气条件下具有良好的重复频率运行稳定性。     

Effect of catalysts on dc corona discharge poisoning

The processes of ozone generation in non-thermal plasma produced by an electrical discharge in air at atmospheric pressure are burdened by the presence of nitrogen oxides, which on the one hand contribute to ozone generation and on the other hand are responsible for unpleasant discharge poisoning. The term discharge poisoning refers to the situation when the discharge ozone formation completely breaks down. Discharge poisoning can be affected by placing a catalyst in the discharge chamber. For the dc hollow needle to mesh corona discharge enhanced by the flow of air through the needle electrode we studied the effect of titanium dioxide TiO₂, ZSM-5 zeolite or Cu⁺⁺ZSM-5 zeolite on discharge poisoning by monitoring the ozone, nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide discharge production. We found that placing globules of any of these catalysts on the mesh decreases the energy density of the onset of discharge poisoning, and this energy density is smallest for a discharge with globules of a TiO₂ on the mesh.

Spectroscopic investigations of back-corona discharge on fly-ash layer

Results of spectroscopic investigations of back discharge generated in point-plane electrode geometry in ambient air at atmospheric pressure are presented in the paper. The back discharge was generated for the plate electrode covered with fly ash layer. To characterize the discharge process, the emission spectra were measured for the back discharges and compared with those obtained for corona discharge generated in the same electrode configuration but with dielectric layer removed. The measurements have shown that spectral lines emitted by the back discharge depend on the forms of discharge and the discharge current. From comparison of spectral lines of back and normal discharges an effect of the dust layer on discharge morphology can be determined. In normal conditions, the emission spectra are dominated by atmospheric components (molecular nitrogen, atomic oxygen and nitrogen) but for back-discharges, additional lines due to elements and compounds in fly ash were also identified. The studies of back discharge were undertaken because this type of discharge decreases the collection efficiency in electrostatic precipitators.

Discharge initiation in a hollow-cathode plasma source of electrons

Experimental results on discharge initiation in a hollow-cathode plasma source of electrons are reported. The discharge is initiated by ions flowing out from the accelerating gap into the discharge region.

It is shown that an increase in the ion-electron emission coefficient, which can be raised by properly choosing the gas-metal pair, decreases the threshold ion current initiating the discharge at a fixed discharge voltage.

大气压氦气介质阻挡放电中的周期一不对称放电实验研究

大气压介质阻挡放电不仅具有对称周期一的放电形式, 还会在一定参数下呈现不对称周期一(AP1)放电. 本文采用具有平行电极结构的介质阻挡放电装置, 分别在气隙宽度1 mm, 3 mm, 7 mm和10 mm下的大气压氦气中进行了一系列放电实验, 研究了气隙宽度和外施电压频率对周期一放电对称性的影响. 实验结果表明: 在较宽的气隙宽度和外施电压频率参数区间内可以观察到显著的AP1放电; 气隙宽度越大越容易产生AP1放电, 同一气隙宽度下外施电压频率较高时则相对更容易观察到AP1放电; 随着气隙宽度增加, 首次击穿即呈现AP1 放电的外施电压频率临界值逐渐减小. 本文的研究初步验证了之前关于气隙宽度对AP1放电影响的数值仿真结果, 由此可以推测AP1放电并不只是由系统参数的不对称引起的, 也很可能是一种在一定的气隙宽度和外施电压频率下系统固有的、内在的高频不稳定放电行为. 关键词： 介质阻挡放电 不对称放电

Formation of a high-current pulsed gas discharge as a source ofhighly concentrated energy flux to treat metal surfaces

The properties of a novel, pulsed, high-current gas discharge with minimized energy losses are investigated. The discharge provides a highly concentrated energy flux that can be used to treat metal surfaces and to form thin surface layers with desirable properties. A theoretical treatment of the formation of the discharge is presented, and the limitations on its voltage and interelectrode separation length are considered. Experiments are carried out to test the theoretical predictions of the discharge parameters. The experimental results show that more than 80% of the energy input to the discharge from the power supply is delivered to the metal surface
