- FIG. 6 shows an application unit 122 according to a further embodiment of the invention
- the loading unit 122 has a structure that at least partially the Structure of the loading unit 28 of FIG. 2 is similar.
- the applying unit 122 may be used in the cleaning devices 2 and 82 instead of the applying unit 28.
- the admission unit 122 differs from the charging unit 28 in that, instead of a plasma nozzle, a plasma source 124 is provided for generating a plasma by means of dielectrically impeded discharge.
- Plasma source 124 includes a central electrode 126 having a dielectric coating 128 and a cage electrode 130 disposed thereabout. Between the central one
- Electrode 126 and the cage electrode 130 is applied by means of a transformer 60, a high-frequency high voltage. Furthermore, a working gas is injected between the central electrode 126 and the cage electrode 130 (see arrows 132).
- the dielectric coating 128 prevents the formation of an arc discharge and instead results in a dielectrically impeded discharge between the central electrode
- Electrode 126 and the cage electrode 130 This creates between the electrode 126 and the cage electrode 130, a plasma and thus reactive substances that are enriched in the water.
- FIG. 7 shows an application unit 142 according to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention
- the loading unit 142 has a structure that at least partially the
- Structure of the loading unit 28 of FIG. 2 is similar.
- the applying unit 142 may be used in the cleaning devices 2 and 82 instead of the applying unit 28.
- the loading unit 102 has a plasma nozzle 38 as a plasma source.
- Plasma nozzle 38 is referred to the description of FIG. 2.
- a nozzle 144 is arranged, with which the water supplied via the inlet 32 can be atomized into droplets 146.
- the nozzle 144 is arranged so that the droplets reach the region of the plasma jet 40 and are enriched there with reactive substances. Due to the large specific surface area of the droplets, effective enrichment can be achieved in this way.
- FIG. 8 shows an application unit 162 according to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention
- the loading unit 162 like the loading unit in FIG. 2, has an inlet 32 and an outlet 34.
- Actuation unit 162 may, for example, in the
- Applying unit 28 can be used.
- the biasing unit 162 includes first and second reservoirs 164a, 164b, first and second rollers 166a, 166b, and a third reservoir 168. Between The first and second rollers 166a, 166b are applied with a high-frequency high-voltage by means of a transformer 60.
- the water supplied via the inlet 32 is supplied to the first and second reservoirs 164a and 164b.
- the supply preferably takes place in such a way that the water in the first reservoir and the water in the second reservoir
- FIG. 8 can be achieved by a drip 170a, 170b of the water.
- the water from the first and second reservoirs 164a, 164b flows in a waterfall fashion over the first and second rollers 166a, 166b. Due to the high frequency high voltage between the
- Rolls 166a, 166b there are discharges between the first and via the second roller 166a, 166b flowing water.
- the water flowing via the first roller 166a and via the second roller 166b acts here as the first or
- a working gas (arrow 172) can be blown between the rollers 166a, 166b.
- the water flowing via the rollers 166a, 166b passes into the third, preferably via a dropletization 174a, 174b
- Reservoir 168 About the outlet 34, the water can be fed back to the water inlet.
- Fig. 9a and 9b show an application unit 182 according to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 9b shows a section through the plane correspondingly marked in FIG. 9a.
- the loading unit 182 forms a unit with a pump 184, which, for example, in the
- Cleaning devices 2 and 82 can be used instead of the pump 20.
- the loading unit 28 can then preferably be dispensed with.
- the pump 184 is shown in Figs. 9a and 9b as a centrifugal pump
- the pump 184 has an inlet 186 and an outlet 188 and a pump housing 190 in which a paddle wheel 196 connected via a shaft 192 to a motor 194 is rotatably arranged. Through the rotation of the pump 184
- a plasma source 198 is connected, which, for example, as a plasma nozzle for
- a plasma jet may be formed.
- Plasma source 198 enter the pump housing 190, so that the pumped in the pump housing 190 water is supplied with the plasma and thereby enriched with reactive substances.
- the rotation of the paddle wheel 196 leads to a good mixing of the reactive substances in the water.
- the present disclosure further provides a method in which a liquid is supplied to a chemical process, in particular combustion or (as
- Edukt a chemical production process, and in which the liquid before feeding to the chemical process with a plasma, in particular with a plasma jet, is applied.
- a plasma in particular with a plasma jet
- Reaction can be improved, for example, accelerated.
- the application of the plasma can thus
- the plasma sources previously described in this disclosure come into consideration.
- the exposure of the fluid to the plasma may also be as previously described in this disclosure.
- a fuel for example gasoline, diesel or kerosene
- a fuel for example gasoline, diesel or kerosene
- plasma in particular before the combustion of the fuel in an internal combustion engine or in a
- a liquid educt for a chemical reaction preferably with at least one second educt, before the reaction with plasma is applied.
- the plasma may provide in the liquid the energy required to initiate the reaction.
- the reaction can be accelerated or improved by the reactive substances in the liquid.
- the liquid may also be an oil, in particular a solution or a dispersion.
