Title:
PLASMA HEATING APPARATUS AND METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003096747
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for plasma-assisted heating are provided. In one embodiment, a heating apparatus can include a cavity (14) for containing a gas. The cavity can have a thermally conductive wall and a radiation-transmissive wall. At least one electromagnetic radiation source (26) can be used to irradiate the gas in the cavity to ignite plasma in the cavity. The heating apparatus can also include a heating region located external to the cavity and adjacent the thermally conductive wall. Various plasma catalysts are also provided.
