COORDINATION OF PARAMETERS OF THE POWER SOURCE AND THE WORKING CHAMBER FOR WATER TREATMENT WITH PULSE BARRIER DISCHARGE

Abstract

To determine the mutually agreed parameters of the output link of the generator of short (~100 ns) pulses with a working chamber, in which water is treated in the droplet-film state by a pulsed barrier discharge, an approximate mathematical model was developed that describes the transient processes in the circuit. The reliability of the model is confirmed by experimental data. The optimal parameters of the capacitance of the dielectric barrier and magnetic keys were calculated, according to which the efficiency of energy transfer to the working chamber reaches 62%. It is shown that it largely depends on the ratio of the barrier capacity of the working chamber to the output capacity of the pulse generator, the optimal value of which is ≈2.6. The selection of the value of the dissipation inductance of the magnetic key, through which the discharge of the barrier capacity occurs after the end of the direct current pulse, is justified. It was established that the consistency of the parameters of the output link of the pulse generator and the working chamber makes it possible to significantly reduce the thermal load on the fast-acting opening diode in the output link of the pulse generator.
