Innovative Methods for Energy-Efficient Excitation of Pulsed Electric Discharge in Water Medium and Their Possible Applications
Abstract. The article is devoted to the methods of energy- efficient excitation mode of pulsed electric discharge in the water medium and their application for environmentally friendly disinfection of pathogenic microorganisms contained in it. An innovative electrode system “pin-plane” with a sharply non- uniform electric field using various moving dielectric сap on the potential pin-electrode is proposed. It is shown that the movement of the cap relative to the lower surface of the “pin” electrode contributes to the focusing of the electric field in the water gap and uneven distribution of the intensity of discharge processes along the surface of the dielectric cap. This, in turn, leads to an expansion of the zone of ionization processes, generation of optical radiation, chemically active discharge products and the formation of high-speed mechanical waves, which in combination negatively affect the survival of pathogenic microorganisms contained in the water medium.
Keywords: pulsed voltage, electrode system, pin-plane, inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms, mechanical wave, optical radiation, chemically active discharge products
