Abstract:
1. A water vapor plasma generating apparatus comprising: a conductive object to be heated which discharges inflow water vapor as water vapor plasma; and a coil which wraps around said object to be heated and is supplied with a high-frequency wave to heat said object to be heated by electromagnetic induction, wherein said object to be heated comprises a plurality of members to be heated provided continuously and integrally from an inlet side of the water vapor toward an outlet side of the water vapor plasma, wherein through-holes which gradually decrease in number as disposed positions thereof shift from the inlet side of the water vapor toward the outlet side of the water vapor plasma, and concave portions which constitute passing regions for the water vapor together with said through-holes on at least one of surfaces opposed to each other are formed in said plurality of members to be heated, and wherein said coil comprises a hollow tube at a center of its wiring body and said hollow tube is a flow path where a coolant flows.
