Abstract

The stable and uniform non-thermal plasma in atmospheric pressure produced by the surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) device can be used in various industrial applications. Investigation of the electrical properties, especially the measurement of the power consumption of this device, is significant because of the cost-effectiveness importance of its uses in industries. In this paper, the power consumption of the SDBD system with two different structures has been investigated. For this purpose, two SDBD systems with the same material and dimensions of electrodes and dielectric and two different structures comb and mesh electrodes were designed and constructed. After that, under the same conditions, the power consumption of both systems was measured and compared using the monitoring capacitor method. The purpose of this study is to choose the appropriate structure for the electrode in designing of the SDBD device for various industrial applications.
