Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing deodorizing apparatuses face inefficiencies in plasma generation and prolonged deodorizing processes due to low plasma generation efficiency and the need for high voltage in reforming liquid production.
Innovation Solution
A deodorizing apparatus that generates a gas phase through swirling liquid flow, applies voltage to produce plasma in the gas phase, and disperses the reforming component in the liquid, allowing for efficient and rapid production of reforming liquid without evaporating the liquid, thereby enhancing deodorizing efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If gas is interposed between electrodes to improve plasma generation efficiency, then plasma generation efficiency is improved, but deodorizing process time becomes excessively long
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the treatment process into two distinct stages: (1) plasma generation stage where gas is interposed between electrodes to efficiently generate plasma and reforming components, and (2) deodorizing stage where the generated reforming liquid is applied to the odorous gas. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, resolving the contradiction between plasma generation efficiency and deodorizing speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The reforming liquid acts as an intermediary medium that transfers the active components generated by plasma to the odorous gas. Instead of directly applying plasma to the odorous gas (which would be time-consuming), the plasma-generated reforming liquid serves as a carrier that efficiently transfers oxidizing components to decompose odorous substances, thereby reducing deodorizing time.
2Power
If high voltage is applied to evaporate liquid and generate plasma, then plasma is generated, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the physical state parameter of the liquid from evaporated (gas phase) to non-evaporated (liquid phase) during plasma generation. By introducing gas between electrodes instead of evaporating liquid, plasma can be generated at lower voltage and temperature conditions, significantly reducing energy consumption while maintaining plasma generation capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid is pre-swirled to generate a gas phase in advance before plasma generation. This preliminary action creates favorable conditions for plasma generation without requiring high voltage to evaporate the liquid during the plasma generation process itself, thereby reducing energy consumption.
3Power
If liquid is evaporated to generate plasma, then plasma is generated, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the phase parameter from vapor (evaporated liquid) to gas (introduced gas) for plasma generation. This parameter change eliminates the time-consuming evaporation process, allowing plasma to be generated directly in the introduced gas phase, thereby significantly reducing liquid reformation time.
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid is pre-swirled to generate a gas phase in advance before plasma generation. This preliminary action creates favorable conditions for plasma generation without requiring high voltage to evaporate the liquid during the plasma generation process itself, thereby reducing liquid reformation time.

This approach enables rapid and efficient deodorizing of gases by generating plasma with less electric power, reducing the deodorizing time and energy input, while preventing harmful nitrous acid production.
Implementation Method 1
a power supply that generates plasma in the gas phase by applying a voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode to produce a reforming component in the reforming liquid
Implementation Method 2
a gas supplier that supplies gas into the reforming liquid in the storage tub. The gas is supplied from the gas supplier into the storage tub, and the supplied gas has a bubble shape and comes into contact with the reforming liquid stored in the storage tub to be deodorized
Implementation Method 3
a processing tub that generates a gas phase in the vicinity of a swirling center of a swirling flow of a liquid by swirling the liquid introduced from an introduction portion around a center axis
