Hydrocarbon dielectric heat transfer fluids for microwave plasma generators

A process and apparatus for cooling a plasma tube generally includes flowing a hydrocarbon dielectric heat transfer fluid into a space defined by the plasma tube and a concentric tube surrounding the plasma tube. In one embodiment, the hydrocarbon fluid is selected to have a dissipation factor less...

Zusammenfassung:A process and apparatus for cooling a plasma tube generally includes flowing a hydrocarbon dielectric heat transfer fluid into a space defined by the plasma tube and a concentric tube surrounding the plasma tube. In one embodiment, the hydrocarbon fluid is selected to have a dissipation factor less than 0.002 and a thermal efficiency coefficient greater than or equal to 1.30 kJ/kg*K.
