Patent ID: 7241428

Claim:
A gas plasma reactor comprising: a reactor chamber defining an interior volume and having a gas inlet and a gas outlet; an electrode assembly positioned in said interior volume in communication with said gas inlet and said gas outlet, said electrode assembly adapted to be interposed in a flow of gas from said gas inlet to said gas outlet, said electrode assembly comprising: a plurality of anodes and cathodes having a plurality of anode and cathode surfaces, wherein the anode and cathode surfaces face each other and are spaced apart from each other, defining a meandering flow path for a gas; said anodes having a common electrical connector and said cathodes having a common electrical connector; and a first electrically conductive fin element connected to a said anode surface and a second electrically conductive fin element connected to a said cathode surface, each of said first and second electrically conductive fin elements being interposed in the space between a said anode and cathode thereby partitioning said meandering flow path; and an electrical connector for connecting a source of electrical power to said electrode assembly.
