Abstract

The paper is of generalizing character and summarizes in some way the researching cycle devoted to the development of arc generators of the water-steam plasma. The critical analysis of various designs of the plasmatorches intended for water-steam plasma production and their abilities is presented. The main emphasis is put on the plasmatorches wherein the spatial stabilization of the electric arc is carried out with the aid of a steam vortex. The operation conditions for these plasmatorches are discussed in details, and the ways of their realization are offered.
