What Is a Plasma Torch?

Plasma torch (also known as plasma generator or plasma heating system) is a special equipment developed based on this principle. Plasma torch generates high temperature gas through electric arc. It can work in oxidation, reduction or inert environment. It can provide heat source for industrial furnaces with various functions such as gasification, cracking, reaction, melting and smelting.

Plasma torch

Matter has four states (solid, liquid, gaseous, and plasma). Plasma is a high-temperature, ionized, and conductive gas state produced by the contact of gas with an arc. Due to the conductivity of the ionized gas, the arc energy is quickly transferred and becomes the thermal energy of the gas, forming a high-temperature gas jet (temperature above 5500 ° C) and a high-intensity heat source.

The advanced and high efficiency of the plasma torch heating system also makes this technology useful in the technical transformation of industrial furnaces and kiln with the goal of energy saving, environmental protection and safety, and the development of green energy.

In the 1960s abroad, plasma torches were manufactured for aerospace material testing. It has since been used to destroy chemical weapons and treat various types of solid waste, and has built multiple experimental devices and commercialization projects. Some units in China have also paid attention to the development of plasma technology, and they have built several sets of experimental equipment for plasma arc melting and cracking treatment of solid waste. Plasma technology is also widely used in metal cutting, boiler ignition and metal spraying, as well as in metal melting and smelting.

Plasma industrial furnace

Plasma technology is an advanced environmental protection technology that is at the forefront of the world. The most reliable measures have broad market prospects in the field of environmental governance.

The most advanced and mature company in plasma torch technology is the Westinghouse Company in the United States. The company has been committed to the research and development of plasma torch technology for more than 30 years. The product has gone through several generations and has established demonstration projects in many countries to treat solid waste. Good economic and social benefits have made outstanding contributions to the overall upgrading and transformation of the country's environmental protection industry and the governance of the atmospheric environment.

The only company in China that promotes the application of plasma technology in the environmental protection and industrial fields is Beijing Huanyu Guanchuan Plasma Technology Co., Ltd. The application and promotion of plasma technology includes project process design and R & D and manufacturing of complete equipment. Plasma torch is one of the important components. Beijing Huanyu Guanchuan Plasma Technology Co., Ltd. has proposed a package of solutions for the application of plasma technology in many industries after extensive market development and extensive data arrangement. It has domestic independent intellectual property rights in engineering integration technology and equipment technology. In addition, Huanyu Guanchuan Company and Westinghouse Plasma Company have cooperated in the manufacture and technology of plasma torches, which has further promoted the development and industrial promotion of plasma technology in China. ^[1]
