Abstract

High energy influxes increase the complexity of passive calorimetric probe measurements because of an increasing temperature of the surrounding materials like the probe holder. This leads to a distinctively different evolution of the probe temperature compared to low energy influxes. Different established methods for the analysis of passive calorimetric probe data are presented and it is shown that they are not applicable for high energy influx measurements resulting in the requirement of a novel analysis approach. Such an approach is given in this paper by the combination of the exponential and the linear method. The high energy influx measurements are studied for a commercial atmospheric pressure plasma jet, in order to illustrate our suggested modified approach.

Highlights

  • Atmospheric pressure plasma jets are used for cleaning, activation and thin film coating of metal, plastics and other materials [1, 2]

  • Atmospheric plasma sources with a high energy influx in the order of 100 W/cm2 towards substrate surfaces offer some advantages compared to low power sources (

  • The active probes are heated to a constant temperature and the heating power is recorded

Summary

Introduction

Atmospheric pressure plasma jets are used for cleaning, activation and thin film coating of metal, plastics and other materials [1, 2]. We introduce a novel method by combining the linear and the exponential methods and show that this approach is suitable for the analysis of high energy influxes by a passive calorimetric probe.
