CORONA DISCHARGE POLLUTANT DESTRUCTION APPARATUS AND MANUFACTURE METHOD

摘要

A pollutant destruction apparatus has a corona discharge reactor (104) attached to conductive end plates (106) at the ends (120) of the reactor (104). The reactor (104) has inner and outer electrodes (114, 116) deposited respectively on the inner and outer surfaces (110, 118) of a hollow dielectric cylinder (108), the interior of which defines the reactor chamber (112). The inner electrode (114) is electrically connected to the end plates (106), whichare grounded, while the outer electrode (116) is connected to a high-voltage power supply to establish a corona discharge. The outer electrode (116) is tapered near the ends (120) of the reactor (104) to reduce the possibility of arcing. A hole (126) in each end plate (106) is aligned with the reactor chamber (112) to allow gas flow into and out of the chamber (112).
