Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a high-concentration and highly concentrated nitrogen oxide preparation system using lightning discharge, and more specifically, to an improved high-concentration and highly concentrated nitrogen oxide preparation system that, under the condition of supplying a straight airflow to an upwardly open discharge chamber, causes the air pressure inside the discharge chamber to rise relative to atmospheric pressure, thereby continuously generating a large amount of plasma containing a high concentration of nitrogen oxide, and simultaneously preparing a concentrated nitrogen oxide solution. Background Technology

[0002] As described in the patent literature in the prior art, the inventors of the present invention have researched and developed a lightning discharge device that is commercially viable and capable of generating a large amount of plasma containing a high concentration of nitrogen oxides in a plasma state.

[0003] However, the drawback of the prior art is that when a straight airflow is supplied to the discharge chamber, the air pressure is relatively difficult to exceed atmospheric pressure, or the air pressure rise is very weak, thus making it impossible to generate a large amount of plasma containing a high concentration of nitrogen oxides.

[0004] Moreover, according to the prior art, during the process of the straight air delivered from the blower being converted into a cyclone state by the cyclone conversion unit, as the wind intensity gradually weakens, not only does the air pressure inside the discharge chamber fail to rise significantly, but also, because the air delivered to the discharge chamber is in a cyclone state, the discharge speed is relatively slower than that in a straight air state, which leads to a decrease in the hourly nitrogen oxide production and causes the complete inability to produce nitrogen oxide concentrate.

[0005] Prior art document (patent document 0001): KR 10-1962904 B1 2019.03.27 Summary of the Invention

[0006] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to increase the air pressure inside the discharge chamber relative to atmospheric pressure by supplying a straight airflow to the discharge chamber in an upward-open state, thereby continuously generating a large amount of plasma containing a high concentration of nitrogen oxides, and simultaneously preparing a nitrogen oxide concentrate.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is that a highly concentrated nitrogen oxide liquid can be prepared by continuously condensing a large amount of plasma containing a high concentration of nitrogen oxides.

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide discharge spark protrusions on a pair of discharge plates receiving electrical signals in order to generate a large number of discharge sparks, thereby enabling the acquisition of a large amount of high-concentration nitrogen oxides in the plasma state.

[0010] The measures taken to solve the problem

[0011] The present invention is characterized in that the high-concentration and high-enrichment nitrogen oxide preparation system using lightning discharge includes a nitrogen oxide production module, which allows the external air supplied to the gas chamber to be blown out in a straight line from the lower part of the discharge chamber along the upper direction by a motor fan. The gas chamber is located at the lower part of the gas (10). The discharge chamber is elongated and located inside multiple cylindrical tubes. In the discharge chamber, multiple discharge sparks are provided on a pair of elongated electrode components that receive high-voltage current respectively, and discharge sparks are generated between the discharge sparks facing each other. A bottleneck discharge section with a gradually narrowing air duct width is provided at the upper part of the discharge chamber, which makes the gas pressure of the discharge chamber blowing out the straight air relatively higher than the atmospheric pressure. The system includes: an exhaust chamber connected to the upper part of the discharge chamber outlet; and a return chamber with an exhaust port formed at the upper part of the exhaust chamber and including a nitrogen oxide concentration unit, which allows the exhaust air from the discharge chamber to flow into the concentration chamber through the vent holes of the inclined plate at the upper part of the exhaust chamber, and then be cooled and prepared into a concentrated liquid.

[0012] Inside the discharge chamber, a pair of long plate-shaped electrode components are erected and fixed in a V-shape to a non-conductive support located at the bottom of the discharge chamber, thereby creating a bottleneck discharge section at the top of the discharge chamber with a gradually narrowing air duct width.

[0013] A windbreak portion inclined along the direction of the cylindrical tube is also provided at the upper end of the pair of electrode components to form a bottleneck discharge zone.

[0014] In the nitrogen oxide concentration unit, a concentration plate component located on the upper part of the concentration chamber, which is connected to the vent hole of the inclined plate on the upper part of the discharge chamber, is cooled by a thermoelectric cooling device and condenses to form a concentrate on its lower surface. A concentrate outlet plate component that moves into the concentration chamber receives the concentrate and causes it to flow out from the drop hole.

[0015] The concentrate outlet plate component is moved by rotating a pinion gear that meshes with a rack on the lower surface of the concentrate outlet plate component in both directions using a forward and reverse motor, so that the moving concentrate outlet plate component can enter and exit the concentration chamber.

[0016] The plasma air containing nitrogen oxides, which is transferred to the return chamber, is returned to the gas chamber by an air transfer pump and circulated to the discharge chamber by a motor fan, thereby obtaining a high concentration of nitrogen oxides.

[0017] The effects of the invention

[0018] The present invention has the following effect: under the condition of supplying a straight airflow to the discharge chamber in the upward open state, the air pressure inside the discharge chamber is relatively increased compared with the atmospheric pressure, thereby continuously generating a large amount of plasma containing high concentration of nitrogen oxides and preparing nitrogen oxide concentrate.

[0019] Furthermore, the present invention has the following effect: by continuously condensing a large amount of plasma containing a high concentration of nitrogen oxides, a highly concentrated nitrogen oxide liquid can be obtained.

[0020] Furthermore, the present invention provides the following effect: in order to generate a large number of discharge sparks, discharge spark protrusions are provided on a pair of discharge plates receiving electrical components, thereby enabling the acquisition of a large amount of high-concentration nitrogen oxides in the plasma state.

[0021] Moreover, the present invention provides the following effect: when the air supplied to the discharge chamber is blown in a straight wind state, the discharge speed can be relatively faster than that in a cyclone state as the air pressure rises. Therefore, not only is the production of nitrogen oxides greatly increased, but the production cost of nitrogen oxides can also be reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In describing this invention, if it is determined that the detailed descriptions of the technical structures, known components, or known technologies in prior art patent No. 10-1962904 may obscure the spirit of this invention, detailed drawings and descriptions thereof will be omitted. Furthermore, detailed descriptions of the structural elements and their functions described above may be omitted in subsequent descriptions.

[0031] Reference Figure 1In this invention, the air filter F at the bottom of the gas 10 allows outside air to flow into the gas chamber 12 through the air intake 11, and the air in the gas chamber 12 is supplied by the motor fan 21 of the nitrogen oxide production module 20.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the nitrogen oxide production module 20 has multiple vertical cylindrical tubes 22 that are open at the top, each equipped with a discharge chamber 23. Air is blown into the elongated discharge chamber 23 that is open at the top in a straight line by motor fans 21 that are respectively located at the bottom of the discharge chamber 23.

[0033] On the other hand, for ease of understanding of the present invention, the wind blowing into the elongated discharge chamber 23 along a straight direction will be referred to as "straight wind" for explanation.

[0034] Therefore, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention has a pair of long plate-shaped electrode components 24 and 24' disposed at the center of an elongated discharge chamber 23. The electrode components 24 and 24' face each other and receive positive and negative currents respectively from a high-voltage current amplifier 25. The upper ends 24a of the pair of electrode components 24 and 24' extend outward and are fixed in a V-shape to a supporting non-conductor 26. Preferably, the supporting non-conductor 26 is an insulator.

[0035] In the lower center of the discharge chamber 23, since the non-conductor 26 is fixed to the cylindrical tube 22 for support, the pair of electrode components 24, 24' can be in a V-shaped upright position even when separated from each other inside the discharge chamber 23. Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the figure, reference numeral 27 indicates a current supply component that supplies current to the high-voltage current amplifier 24, and reference numeral 28 indicates a high-voltage stabilizer.

[0036] Therefore, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a pair of electrode components 24, 24' each have a plurality of discharge flower protrusions 24b protruding from each electrode component 24, 24', such that the discharge flower protrusions 24b protruding from each electrode component 24, 24' face each other. Preferably, the electrode components 24, 24' are made of platinum or a platinum alloy with excellent conductivity.

[0037] Therefore, in this invention, the upper ends 24a of a pair of electrode components 24 and 24' are respectively inclined outward and arranged in a V-shape in the discharge chamber 23, so that the channel through which the straight wind passes becomes a state that gradually narrows from the lower part of the discharge chamber 23 to the upper part. As the upper ends 24a of the electrode components 24 and 24', a bottleneck discharge section 23a is provided in the upper part of the discharge chamber 23.

[0038] And, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a windbreak portion 24c that is inclined and curved along the outer direction is also provided on the upper part of a pair of electrode components 24, 24', and a narrower bottleneck discharge section 23a' can be provided on the upper side of the bottleneck discharge section 23a through which the straight wind passes.

[0039] Therefore, as Figure 3 As indicated by the arrow, in this invention, the straight airflow inside the discharge chamber 23 collides with the outer surfaces of a pair of electrode components 24, 24', causing the straight airflow to bend. As the width of the straight airflow gradually narrows from the bottom to the top, since the straight airflow needs to pass through the bottleneck discharge intervals 23a, 23a', the air pressure inside the discharge chamber 23 is in a high-pressure state that is significantly higher than atmospheric pressure. Under this high-pressure state, as long as the straight airflow continues to blow into the discharge chamber 23, the high-pressure state can be maintained.

[0040] To facilitate understanding of this invention, when the inlet width or diameter of the straight-flowing air is relatively narrow or narrow compared to the outlet width or diameter of the straight-flowing air, the air pressure will rise due to the bottleneck phenomenon, resulting in a high-pressure state that is relatively higher than atmospheric pressure.

[0041] Therefore, when a high-voltage current is supplied to a pair of electrode components 24, 24' located in the high-voltage discharge chamber 23, an arc discharge occurs between the opposing discharge spark protrusions 24b of the electrode components 24, 24', generating a discharge spark. In this case, since discharge sparks occur between multiple discharge spark protrusions 24b, a large number of discharge sparks can be reliably generated. Figure 5 This is a photograph showing the discharge spark state that occurs in this invention through experiments.

[0042] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, in the prior art patent No. 10-1962904 invented by the inventor, when discharge occurs between linear flat electrode plates, the current cannot be concentrated at a single point, and therefore only a few discharge sparks can occur. However, in the present invention, since the current is concentrated at the discharge spark protrusion 24b, multiple discharge sparks corresponding to the number of discharge spark protrusions 24b can be generated, thereby generating a large amount of plasma, which in turn generates a large amount of plasma containing a high concentration of nitrogen oxides.

[0043] Furthermore, the present invention provides an exhaust chamber 13 above the outlet 23b of the discharge chamber 23 of the nitrogen oxide production module 20 for discharging wind (air) containing a large amount of plasma with a high concentration of nitrogen oxides. A nitrogen oxide concentration unit 30 is provided above the exhaust chamber 13 and is tilted along one side.

[0044] The nitrogen oxide concentration unit 30 has multiple vents 32 on the inclined plate component 31 at the top of the discharge chamber. This allows exhaust air containing plasma with a high concentration of nitrogen oxides discharged from the discharge chamber 23 to flow into the concentration chamber 33 through the vents 32. For ease of understanding, the exhaust air will be referred to simply as "discharge chamber exhaust air".

[0045] A concentration plate component 34 is solidly disposed on the upper part of the concentration chamber 33, and a thermoelectric cooling device 35 is fixedly attached to the upper part of the concentration plate component 34. The thermoelectric cooling device 35 is a device for absorbing heat energy, and as a known device, its detailed description will be omitted.

[0046] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 A concentrate outlet plate component 36 is inserted into the concentration chamber 33 and can move along a long inclined direction. Guide rails 37 can be provided on both sides of the concentrate outlet plate component 36, and it can move along the guide rails 37.

[0047] Although the concentrate outlet plate component 36 can also be moved manually, preferably, a rack 38 fixed along the inclined direction is provided on the lower surface of the concentrate outlet plate component 36. As the pinion 38' that meshes with the rack 38 is rotated forward or backward by the power of the forward and reverse motor 39, it can be controlled by the control unit (not shown).

[0048] Therefore, as Figure 1 As shown by the solid line, the concentration chamber 33 is in an open state when the concentrate outlet plate component 36 is moved along the lower direction. In this state, the discharge chamber exhaust air discharged from the discharge chamber 13 flows into the concentration chamber 33 through the vent 32.

[0049] Furthermore, as the discharge chamber exhaust air flowing into the concentration chamber 33 continues to contact the concentration plate component 34, which is continuously kept cooled by the thermoelectric cooling device 35, the moisture contained in the discharge chamber exhaust air condenses on the lower surface of the concentration plate component 34, forming a concentrated liquid W resembling dew, thus becoming a water droplet.

[0050] That is, such as Figure 1 As shown, with the concentration chamber 33 open and connected to the discharge chamber 13, after a predetermined time, water droplets of condensate condensate condense on the lower surface of the concentration plate component 34. At the point in time when these water droplets of concentrate W condense, as... Figure 6 As shown by the solid line, the concentrated liquid outflow plate component 36 moves into the concentration chamber 33, thereby separating the concentration chamber 33 from the discharge chamber 13.

[0051] Therefore, if the concentrate outlet plate component 36 stays in the concentration chamber 33 for a specified time, the concentrate W condensed on the lower surface of the concentrate outlet plate component 36 drips onto the concentrate outlet plate component 36 and flows down. Subsequently, it falls into the concentrate receiving section 40 through the drop hole 36a formed in the lower part of the concentrate outlet plate component 36 and accumulates. The concentrate W in the concentrate receiving section 40 moves to the concentrate tank WT.

[0052] Furthermore, through the control of the control unit, the forward and reverse rotation of the forward and reverse motor 39 causes the pinion 38' and rack 38 to move in tandem. As the concentrate outlet plate component 36 moves back and forth repeatedly in the concentration chamber 33, concentrated water W can be easily obtained.

[0053] On the other hand, the present invention is provided with a reflux chamber 14 connected to the discharge chamber 13, so that the discharge air flowing into the reflux chamber 14 is transferred to the gas chamber 12 by the suction transfer pump 16, and then blown back into the discharge chamber 23 of the cylindrical tube 22 by the motor fan 21, thereby preparing nitrogen oxides in a higher concentration state.

[0054] Furthermore, the high-concentration nitrogen oxide activated water can be prepared by a suction transfer pump 16' connected to an exhaust port 15 located on the upper part of the reflux chamber 14, for example, by delivering the air to a nanobubble generator B in the water tank T.

[0055] Therefore, by using the operation control unit (not shown), the on / off valve 11a provided at the intake port 11 is closed, and the operation of the intake transfer pump 16' is stopped. By only activating the intake transfer pump 16, the plasma air containing nitrogen oxides in the return chamber 14 is supplied to the discharge chamber 23 via the motor fan 21 after passing through the gas chamber 12. By continuously performing this cycle, plasma containing an extremely high concentration of nitrogen oxides can be obtained.

[0056] Furthermore, by intermittently opening and closing the on / off valve 11a and starting the suction transfer pump 16', extremely high concentrations of nitrogen oxides can be supplied to the water tank T.

[0057] This invention is not limited to the description with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art can implement it in various ways. Therefore, it is obvious that it should be widely protected without departing from the scope of the invention claims.
