Abstract

A plasma assisted combustion device includes a dielectric housing that defines a plasma chamber having an input that receives media for processing and an output that passes processed media. A ground electrode plate is positioned proximate to a first surface of the dielectric housing forming a first dielectric barrier. A hot electrode plate is positioned proximate to a second surface of the dielectric housing forming a second dielectric barrier. A power supply generates a waveform that energizes the hot electrode plate with a voltage that strikes a double dielectric barrier plasma discharge in the plasma chamber. A media injector positioned at an input of the plasma chamber converts a liquid media into an aerosolized media and then sprays the aerosolized media into the plasma chamber. The plasma in the plasma chamber processes the aerosolized media into at least some lower molecular weight media and activating free radicals.
