A DC Steady Current Atmospheric Discharge for Battlefield CHEM/BIO Decontamination.

Abstract

In this Phase 1, A Capillary Plasma Electrode Discharge(CPED) test system was designed and constructed using a vacuum system equipped with three mass flow controllers (MFC) and a linear motion manipulator. In order to compare our CPED with other conventional ac-barrier type discharge, we tested CPED and ac-barrier type arrangement discharge. The complete characteristics of the CPED and ac-barrier type discharge have been analyzed.
