In this paper, it studied parameters of
low-temperature plasma (LTP) used in systems for cleaning waste gas. LTP
created by positive nanosecond corona discharges, generated by high voltage
pulses with a rise time of 50 ns, duration up to 400 ns, an amplitude up to 90 kV
and pulses repetition 50 - 1000 Hz in coaxial electrode system with gap space 3
- 10 cm through which moving air with linear velocity v = 0.01 to 10 m/s. It
was found that parameters of LTP depended on the flow velocity. The results of
probe measurements of streamers current showed that on the above gaps and pulse
parameters took place streamer breakdown with average field strength less than
10 kV/cm. This limits the energy input into the gas via a streamer corona and,
accordingly, productivity of cleaning plants.
