ACTIVE OXYGEN SUPPLY DEVICE, DEVICE FOR CONDUCTING TREATMENT WITH ACTIVE OXYGEN, AND METHOD FOR CONDUCTING TREATMENT WITH ACTIVE OXYGEN - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18751461 titled 'ACTIVE OXYGEN SUPPLY DEVICE, DEVICE FOR CONDUCTING TREATMENT WITH ACTIVE OXYGEN, AND METHOD FOR CONDUCTING TREATMENT WITH ACTIVE OXYGEN
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an active oxygen supply device that efficiently supplies active oxygen to the surface of an object to be treated. It includes a plasma actuator and a heater in a housing with at least one opening.
- The device consists of a plasma actuator with a first electrode, a dielectric material, and a second electrode.
- When a voltage is applied between the electrodes, the plasma actuator generates dielectric-barrier discharge and induces a flow of active oxygen.
- The induced flow containing active oxygen flows out of the housing through the opening.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Efficient supply of active oxygen to the surface of an object.
- Plasma actuator generating dielectric-barrier discharge.
- Induced flow containing active oxygen for treatment.
Potential Applications:
- Surface treatment of objects.
- Sterilization and disinfection processes.
- Environmental remediation.
Problems Solved:
- Inefficient supply of active oxygen.
- Limited effectiveness in surface treatment.
- Lack of control over active oxygen flow.
Benefits:
- Improved efficiency in supplying active oxygen.
- Enhanced surface treatment results.
- Controlled and targeted delivery of active oxygen.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial uses include:
- Medical equipment sterilization.
- Food processing sanitation.
- Water purification systems.
Questions about Active Oxygen Supply Device: 1. How does the plasma actuator generate dielectric-barrier discharge? 2. What are the specific benefits of using active oxygen for surface treatment?
2. Another relevant generic question, with a detailed answer: How does the induced flow of active oxygen improve the efficiency of the treatment process?
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is an active oxygen supply device capable of more efficiently supplying active oxygen to the surface of an object to be treated. An active oxygen supply device comprises a plasma actuator and a heater in a housing having at least one opening. The plasma actuator comprises a first electrode, a dielectric material and a second electrode, the first electrode is an exposed electrode provided on a first surface that is one of the surfaces of the dielectric material, when a voltage is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode, the plasma actuator generates the dielectric-barrier discharge oriented from the first electrode to the second electrode and induces a flow. The plasm actuator and the heater are disposed so that the induced flow containing active oxygen flows out of the housing through the opening.
