Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus are contemplated in which a tube cell that produces a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is individually configured to minimize the mixing of unwanted byproducts of the generated plasma with an exhaust air stream. The tube cell generates a DBD within a tube cell, such that oxidants or radicals are generated in an environment substantially separated from the exhaust stream. The generated oxidants are directed to intersect with the exhaust stream to minimize the generation of unwanted byproducts. The tube cells are further shaped and arranged in tube cell arrays to alter the flow dynamics of the exhaust stream and the oxidant or radical streams, including mixing of the streams.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for treating an exhaust stream, comprising:\n a tube cell, comprising:\n an oxidizing flow path for an air stream to flow through the tube out a plurality of air outlets, \n an inner electrode extended through a length of the tube cell, \n a dielectric layer insulating the inner electrode from the flow path, and \n an outer electrode directing the flow path to the plurality of air outlets formed in a shell of the outer electrode; \n a power generator coupled to the inner electrode and the outer electrode to generate a dielectric barrier discharge in the flow path to oxidize the air stream; an exhaust stream that flows around the exterior of the tube cell to intersect with outlet air from the plurality of air outlets.
