Abstract

A structural design of an electric-arc steam plasma torch (plasmatron) with copper tubular electrodes has been proposed and implemented. Operational parameters are determined for the stable generation of steam plasma. Experimental data are presented on the energy characteristics of the plasma generator with the capacity up to 100 kW.
