ScanArc - Plasma Generator
A plasma generator is a device for transforming electric energy into heat energy carried by a gas. ScanArc Plasma Technologies AB manufactures non-transferred, segmented type plasma generators in which a gas is heated by an electric arc to high temperature.

The electric arc is established between tubular electrodes made of micro alloyed copper. Tubular spacers are used to obtain a suitable distance between the electrodes. The spacers are electrically insulated from each other and from the electrodes.
The plasma gas is introduced tangentially between the segments at high velocity resulting in a swirling action that stabilises the arc. With plasma generators, virtually any gas can be heated to the plasma state. The heat energy carried by the gas can be utilized for heating, gasification and chemical reactions, which take place in a reaction chamber in front of the plasma generator.
The plasma generators transform 85%-90% of the electric energy supplied to them into usable heat energy.
ScanArc has developed plasma generators in four different sizes, named the 3-, 4, 7- and 5- series as noted in the diagram where the operating ranges are indicated. Within each generator series, the geometry can be optimised for a specific desired operating envelope.
