AB - Various microwave-sustained, atmospheric-pressure plasma torcheshave been developed, investigated and applied over the last few decades. Toavoid some of their shortcomings, we have designed a novel torch termed TIAGO(Torche à Injection Axiale sur Guide d'Ondes, in French). Its mainadvantages are simplicity, smooth impedance matching (low sensitivity tochanges in operating conditions) and a short gas channel to prevent vapourcondensation. Furthermore, it is possible to arrange TIAGOs in arrays to forma compact torch system which can be supplied, with equal distribution of powerbetween plasma flames, from a single waveguide. This unique feature makes thenew device particularly suitable when high gas throughputs or sequentialprocessing are required. We describe the design, electrodynamiccharacteristics and experimental investigation of various torch arrangementsbased on the TIAGO principle, operated at 2.45GHz with powers of a fewhundred watts up to 2-3kW per nozzle.
