Cold plasma treatment devices and associated methods

摘要

A compact cold plasma device for generating cold plasma having temperatures in the range 65 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The compact cold plasma device has a magnet-free configuration and an induction-grid-free configuration. An additional configuration uses an induction grid in place of the input electrode to generate the cold plasma. A high voltage power supply is provided that includes a controllable switch to release energy from a capacitor bank to a dual resonance RF transformer. A controller adjusts the energy input to the capacitor bank, as well as the trigger to the controllable switch.

主权项

1. A cold plasma device, comprising:
a housing having a high voltage electrical inlet port; a gas compartment disposed within the housing, wherein the gas compartment is a magnet-free environment, and wherein the gas compartment includes a gas inlet port to receive a flow of gas and a gas outlet port, and wherein the gas compartment further includes an induction-grid-free environment; and an electrode disposed within the gas compartment, wherein the electrode is coupled to the high voltage electrical inlet port, wherein the electrode comprises one or more components configured to resonate at frequencies associated with a harmonic rich power signal received via the high voltage electrical inlet port, wherein the electrode is a modular electrode associated with the gas and a treatment protocol, the modular electrode being configured for easy insertion and removal from the gas compartment, and wherein the electrode is configured to generate cold plasma for release via the gas outlet port, the cold plasma having a temperature in a range of 65 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
