Description

High-concentration and high-enrichment nitrogen oxide production system using thunderbolt discharge

[0001] The present invention relates to a system for producing high-concentration and high-enriched nitrogen oxide by means of a thunderbolt discharge, and more particularly, to an improved system for producing high-concentration and high-enriched nitrogen oxide in which the inside of the discharge chamber is relatively pressure-increased compared to atmospheric pressure even under conditions in which a straight wind is blown into a discharge chamber with the top open, thereby continuously generating a large amount of plasma having high-concentration nitrogen oxide and simultaneously producing a nitrogen oxide concentrate.

[0002] A thunderbolt discharge device that generates a large amount of plasma having a high concentration of nitrogen oxide in a commercially viable plasma state, as described in the patent document of the prior art literature, has been researched and developed by the inventor of the present invention.

[0003]

[0004] However, the above-mentioned prior art has a disadvantage in that when a straight wind is blown into the discharge room, the air pressure does not increase relatively compared to the atmospheric pressure or increases very slightly, so a large amount of plasma with a high concentration of nitrogen oxide is not generated.

[0005]

[0006] In addition, the above prior art has a problem in that the pressure inside the discharge chamber does not increase significantly because the wind speed gradually weakens in the process of converting the straight wind blown from the blower into a vortex state by the vortex conversion means, and because the wind blown into the discharge chamber blows in a vortex state, the discharge speed is relatively slower than that of a straight wind state, resulting in a decrease in the amount of nitrogen oxide produced per hour, and also entails a problem in that no nitrogen oxide concentrate is produced at all.

[0007]

[0009]

[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to enable the production of high-concentration nitrogen oxide by continuously generating a large amount of plasma having a high concentration of nitrogen oxide by increasing the pressure inside the discharge chamber relatively higher than the atmospheric pressure even under conditions where a straight wind is blown into the discharge chamber with the upper part open.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to produce a highly concentrated nitric oxide liquid by continuously condensing air containing a large amount of plasma having a high concentration of nitric oxide.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a pair of discharge plates supplied with electricity with discharge embossing so that a large amount of discharge sparks can be generated, thereby obtaining a large amount of high-concentration nitrogen oxide in a plasma state.

[0013] The present invention is characterized in that it comprises a nitrogen oxide production module configured such that external air supplied to an air chamber provided in the lower part of a body is blown upwardly in a straight wind from the lower part of an elongated discharge chamber provided inside a plurality of cylindrical tubes by a motor fan, and in the discharge chamber, a plurality of elongated electrode members each supplied with a high-voltage current are provided with a plurality of discharge embossing projections facing each other so that discharge sparks are generated, and a bottleneck discharge section having a narrow wind path width is provided in the upper part of the discharge chamber so that the pressure in the discharge chamber where the straight wind blows is relatively higher than the atmospheric pressure, and includes a discharge chamber provided in communication with the upper part of the discharge chamber outlet and a return chamber having an exhaust port in the upper part of the discharge chamber, and a nitrogen oxide concentration means configured such that discharge chamber discharge wind flows into a concentration chamber through a ventilation hole in an upper slope plate part of the discharge chamber provided in the upper part of the discharge chamber and is then cooled to produce a concentrate.

[0014] Another feature is that a pair of long plate-shaped electrode members are fixed in a V shape to a supporting insulator provided at the bottom of the discharge chamber, so that a bottleneck discharge section with a narrow wind passage width is provided at the top of the discharge chamber.

[0015] Another feature is that the upper part of the pair of electrode members is further provided with a wind blocking portion inclined in the direction of the cylindrical tube to form a bottleneck discharge section.

[0016] The above nitrogen oxide enrichment means is characterized in that a enrichment plate member provided on the upper part of the enrichment chamber, which is connected to the ventilation holes of the upper slant plate part of the discharge chamber, is cooled by a thermoelectric cooling element to condense the enriched water on the lower surface, and a concentrate discharge plate member inserted and moved into the enrichment chamber receives the enriched water and discharges it through a drop hole.

[0017] Another feature is that the pinion, which is engaged with the rack provided on the lower surface of the above-mentioned concentrate release plate member, is rotated forward and backward by a positive and negative motor so that the concentrate release plate member can move so that it can enter and exit the concentration room.

[0018] Another feature is that the plasma air having nitrogen oxide transferred to the return room is returned to the air room by an intake transfer pump and circulated to the discharge room by a motor fan to obtain a high concentration of nitrogen oxide.

[0019] The present invention has the effect of producing high-concentration nitrogen oxide by continuously generating a large amount of plasma having a high concentration of nitrogen oxide by increasing the pressure inside the discharge chamber relatively higher than the atmospheric pressure even under conditions where a straight wind is blown into the discharge chamber with the upper part open.

[0020] In addition, the present invention has the effect of continuously condensing air containing a large amount of plasma having a high concentration of nitrogen oxide to obtain a highly concentrated nitrogen oxide liquid.

[0021] In addition, the present invention provides an effect of obtaining a large amount of high-concentration nitrogen oxide in a plasma state by providing a plurality of discharge embossing projections on a pair of discharge plates supplied with electricity to generate a large amount of discharge sparks.

[0022] In addition, the present invention has the effect of greatly increasing the amount of nitrogen oxide produced by increasing the pressure while the wind blowing into the discharge chamber is blown in a straight line, so that the discharge speed is relatively faster than when the wind is blown in a whirlwind state, and thus, it provides the effect of reducing the cost of producing nitrogen oxide.

[0030] The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached preferred embodiments as follows.

[0031] In the present invention, if it is determined that the detailed description of the technical configuration, known components, or known technology already described in the patent publication of prior art patent No. 10-1962904, invented by the inventor of the present invention, may obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed drawings and descriptions thereof may be omitted. Furthermore, detailed descriptions of the previously described components and their functions may be omitted in subsequent descriptions.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention is configured such that external air is introduced into an air chamber (12) through an intake port (11) via an air filter (F) at the bottom of a body (10), and the air in the air chamber (12) is supplied to a motor fan (21) of a nitrogen oxide production module (20).

[0033] The nitrogen oxide production module (20) is configured such that, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plurality of cylindrical tubes (22) in an upright shape with an open top each have a discharge chamber (23), and air is blown in a straight direction into the elongated discharge chamber (23) with an open top by a motor fan (21) provided at the bottom of each discharge chamber (23).

[0034] Meanwhile, to help understand the present invention, the wind blowing in a straight direction in a long discharge chamber (23) may be abbreviated as “straight wind.”

[0035] Accordingly, the present invention is configured such that, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a pair of elongated plate-shaped electrode members (24, 24') that receive positive and negative currents from a high-voltage current amplifier (25) are provided in the center of a long-shaped discharge chamber (23) so as to face each other, and the upper ends (24a) of the pair of electrode members (24, 24') are respectively spread outward to form a V shape and are fixed to a supporting insulator (26). It is preferable that the supporting insulator (26) employ an insulator.

[0036] Since the supporting insulator (26) is fixed to the cylindrical tube (22) at the center of the lower part of the discharge chamber (23), it stands up in a V shape even when a pair of electrode members (24, 24') are separated from each other in the discharge chamber (23). In FIGS. 1 and 3, reference numeral 27 represents a current supply member that supplies current to the high-voltage current amplifier (24), and reference numeral 28 represents a high-voltage stabilizer.

[0037] Accordingly, each pair of electrode members (24, 24') is configured such that a plurality of discharge embossing projections (24b) protrude as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and the discharge embossing projections (24b) protruding from each electrode member (24, 24') are fixed so as to face each other. It is preferable that the electrode members (24, 24') are made of platinum or a platinum alloy having good electrical conductivity.

[0038] Accordingly, the present invention is provided in a discharge chamber (23) in which the upper ends (24a) of a pair of electrode members (24, 24') are each inclined outwardly to form a V shape, so that the passage through which the straight wind passes gradually becomes narrower as it goes upward from the lower end of the discharge chamber (23), and a bottleneck discharge section (23a) is provided in the upper part of the discharge chamber (23) toward the upper ends (24a) of the electrode members (24, 24').

[0039] In addition, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, by configuring a wind blocking portion (24c) that is further inclined and bent outwardly on the upper portion of a pair of electrode members (24, 24'), a narrower bottleneck discharge section (23a') can be provided on the upper portion of the bottleneck discharge section (23a) through which straight wind passes.

[0040] Accordingly, in the present invention, when the straight wind inside the discharge chamber (23) hits the outer surface of a pair of electrode members (24, 24') as shown by the arrows in FIG. 3, the straight wind bends and gradually narrows the width through which the straight wind passes as it rises from the bottom to the top, so that it must pass through the bottleneck discharge section (23a, 23a'), and thus the air pressure inside the discharge chamber (23) becomes a high-pressure state in which the air pressure is relatively higher than the atmospheric pressure, and this high-pressure state is continuously maintained as long as the straight wind continues to blow into the discharge chamber (23).

[0041] To help understand the present invention, if the width or diameter of the outlet through which the straight wind flows out is relatively narrower or narrower than the width or diameter of the inlet through which the straight wind flows in, the air pressure increases due to a bottleneck phenomenon, resulting in a relatively higher pressure state than the atmospheric pressure.

[0042] Accordingly, when a high-voltage current is supplied to a pair of electrode members (24, 24') provided in a high-voltage discharge chamber (23), an arc discharge occurs between the facing discharge embossments (24b) of the mutually opposing electrode members (24, 24'), and a discharge spark is generated. At this time, since the discharge spark is generated between numerous discharge embossments (24b), numerous discharge sparks are reliably generated, and Fig. 5 is a photograph showing a discharge spark state generated by the present invention through an experiment.

[0043] To help understand the present invention, in the case where straight flat electrode plates are discharged, as in the prior art patent No. 10-1962904 invented by the inventor of the present invention, the current is not concentrated at one point, so only a few discharge sparks are generated. However, in the present invention, since the current is concentrated at the discharge embossing protrusions (24b), a large number of discharge sparks are generated according to the number of discharge embossing protrusions (24b), and as a result, a large amount of plasma is generated, so that a large amount of plasma having a high concentration of nitrogen oxide can be generated.

[0044] And the present invention is configured such that a discharge chamber (13) is provided above the outlet (23b) of the discharge chamber (23) of the nitrogen oxide production module (20) in which wind (air) containing a large amount of plasma having a high concentration of nitrogen oxide is discharged, and a nitrogen oxide concentration means (30) inclined to one side is provided above the discharge chamber (13).

[0045] The nitrogen oxide concentration means (30) is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes (32) in the discharge chamber upper inclined plate member (31). The discharge wind containing plasma having a high concentration of nitrogen oxide discharged from the discharge chamber (23) passes through the ventilation holes (32) and flows into the concentration chamber (33). The discharge wind may be abbreviated as 'discharge chamber discharge wind' to facilitate understanding of the present invention.

[0046] A concentration plate member (34) is fixedly provided on the upper part of the concentration chamber (33), and a thermoelectric cooling element (35) is fixedly provided on the upper part of the concentration plate member (34). The thermoelectric cooling element (35) is a device that absorbs thermal energy, and since it is a known device, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0047] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, a concentrate outlet member (36) is inserted into the concentration chamber (33) so as to be able to move in a long, inclined direction. Guide rails (37) may be provided on both sides of the concentrate outlet member (36) so as to be able to move along the guide rails (37).

[0048] The above concentrate discharge plate member (36) can be moved manually, but it is preferable that a rack (38) be fixed in an inclined direction on the lower surface of the concentrate discharge plate member (36), and that a pinion (38') meshed with the rack (38) be controlled by a control unit (not shown) to rotate forward and reverse by the power of a forward / reverse motor (39).

[0049] Accordingly, when the present invention is in a state where the concentrate discharge plate member (36) is moved downward as shown in a solid line in FIG. 1, the concentration chamber (33) is in an open state. In this state, the discharge chamber discharge wind discharged into the discharge chamber (13) flows into the concentration chamber (33) through the ventilation hole (32).

[0050] And, as the discharge room discharge wind flowing into the concentration room (33) is continuously in contact with the concentration plate member (34) which is maintained in a continuously cooled state by the thermoelectric cooling element (35), the moisture contained in the discharge room discharge wind condenses on the lower surface of the concentration plate member (34) to form a concentrated liquid (W) such as dew, which clumps together and becomes in a state like water droplets.

[0051] That is, as shown in Fig. 1, when the concentration chamber (33) is opened and connected to the discharge chamber (13) and a certain amount of time has passed, water droplets of condensate are formed on the lower surface of the concentration plate member (34). At the point when the water droplets of condensate (W) are formed, the condensate discharge plate member (36) is moved into the concentration chamber (33) as shown by the solid line in Fig. 6 so that the concentration chamber (33) is shielded from the discharge chamber (13).

[0052] Accordingly, when the concentrate discharge plate member (36) is left in the concentration chamber (33) for a certain period of time, the concentrate (W) that has been collected on the lower surface of the concentrate discharge plate member (36) falls onto the concentrate discharge plate member (36) and flows downward, and falls onto the concentrate receiving portion (40) through the dropping hole (36a) at the lower portion of the concentrate discharge plate member (36) and is collected, and the concentrate (W) in the concentrate receiving portion (40) is moved to the concentrate tank (WT).

[0053] And, by controlling the control unit, the pinion (38') and the rack (38) are linked by the forward and reverse rotation of the forward and reverse motor (39), and the concentrated liquid outlet member (36) is repeatedly moved back and forth to the concentrated liquid chamber (33), thereby enabling the concentrated liquid (W) to be easily obtained.

[0054] Meanwhile, the present invention is manufactured to have a return room (14) that is connected to a discharge room (13), so that discharge room discharge wind flowing into the return room (14) is transferred to the air room (12) by an intake transfer pump (16), thereby blowing back into the discharge room (23) of the cylindrical tube (22) through a motor fan (21), thereby having nitrogen oxide in a more highly concentrated state.

[0055] And, it can be used to manufacture high-concentration nitrogen oxide activated water by sending it to, for example, a nanobubble machine (B) of a water tank (T) through an intake transfer pump (16') connected to an exhaust port (15) provided on the upper part of the return room (14).

[0056] Accordingly, the present invention operates a control unit (not shown) to close the opening / closing valve (11a) provided in the intake port (11), simultaneously stopping the operation of the intake transfer pump (16') and operating only the intake transfer pump (16), thereby continuously executing a circulation operation in which plasma air having nitrogen oxide in the return chamber (14) is supplied to the discharge chamber (23) by the motor fan (21) through the air chamber (12), thereby enabling a plasma having a very high concentration of nitrogen oxide to be obtained.

[0057] And, by intermittently opening the on-off valve (11a) by the control unit and simultaneously operating the intake transfer pump (16'), very high concentration nitrogen oxide is supplied to the water tank (T).

[0058] The present invention is not necessarily limited to what is illustrated and described in the drawings, and can be implemented in various forms by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Therefore, it is obvious that the present invention should be broadly protected as long as it does not significantly deviate from the scope of the claims.
