Abstrakt:

In this paper, multi-hollow surface dielectric barrier discharge generated by a perforated ceramic substrate in a configuration with the air-exposed electrode was investigated. The electrical characteristics (discharge power, peak and average amplitude of current pulses) and optical characteristics (emission intensity) of the discharge were evaluated under various conditions of applied voltage (peak voltage 3–6 kV, frequency 200–2000 Hz), air flow rate (0.5–2.4 L/min) and air relative humidity (0–80%). Temperature of ceramic substrate was also monitored. Statistical analysis of current pulses was also performed and histograms of amplitudes of current pulses were calculated. The results showed that discharge characteristics strictly depend on given working conditions. The analysis of current pulses showed opposite trends in average overall number of positive and negative pulses with an increase of discharge power: number of positive current pulses gradually increased, while number of negative current pulses slightly decreased. The highest peak currents were found at 4 kV (1.8 W). With further increase of peak voltage, peak current decreased and beginning of detection of current pulses upon a rising (declining) slope of applied voltage was slightly shifted towards earlier times. At the highest applied peak voltage, pulses appeared even before polarity of applied voltage reversed. Therefore, we suppose that a residual charge accumulated on dielectric surface plays crucial role in characteristics of the current pulses. Significant influence on current pulses and discharge emission intensity was also found with change of air relative humidity, while the effect of air flow rate was found weaker.
