Abstract

This article presents an experimental study of a DBD-driven plasma jet system. The aim of the study is to design a whole system (the jet reactor, its electrical power supply, and a gas-feeding apparatus) suitable for biomedical applications. The article describes the test bench developed for this purpose and discusses the parameters it controls. The measurements show that the studied solutions can be used to control critical parameters such as the jet temperature and dimensions. The best results were obtained for a bipolar short-pulse voltage power supply in the 10–20 kHz frequency range and for a series resonant inverter current power supply operated in “burst mode”, allowing low-frequency modulation.
