Abstract

The author investigated experimentally the effect of the gasdynamics of the discharge chamber on the power characteristics of vortex plasmatrons with a sectioned interelectrode insert and a gas curtain of the sections, with porous bushings of the sections that ensure radial and tangential injections of the working gas into the discharge channel of the chamber, and with a water-cooled solid interelectrode insert. Results of the investigations demonstrate a substantial effect of the gasdynamics of the discharge chamber on the power characteristics of vortex plasmatrons with interelectrode inserts.
