Temperature Runaway in a Pulsed Dielectric Barrier Discharge Reactor

Plasma Physics 2018-07-11 v1

Abstract

This paper reports on experimental measurements of the gas temperature in a dielectric barrier discharge reactor powered by a high voltage pulsed signal. It is shown that the thermal behavior of the reactor follows a first order model. However, an unexpected runaway phenomenon was observed at a frequency of 300Hz. A sudden increase in the power source and consequently in reactor temperature which reaches 170{\deg}C is observed. This behavior is discussed in terms of input power variation with temperature, possibly due to a resonance phenomenon.
