The analysis of plasma installation parameters

The article presents the analysis ’ results carried out to identify the control parameters of the plasma unit. The research has been performed by the laboratory "Plasma and Energy Technologies” of East Siberia State University of Technology and Management. The plasma unit is powered by a DC source and the main adjustable parameters are current and voltage on the electrical arc. A plasma temperature depends on the amount of current flowing in a plasma unit, and respectively processing modes of various materials. In turn, the processed materials have different chemical composition (eg, coal, ash and slag, rocks, municipal solid waste, medical waste, etc.). It requires their regulation in the wide range of currents, specific energy consumption and temperature regimes at their processing. Thus, the plasma installation is a complex multiply object. The parameters that must be controlled are of different nature. The identification of interrelation between parameters is realized by the means of the structural graph (S-graph) method.
