A plasma emitting device includes plasma head configured to generate a plasmarized gas and jet the plasmarized gas so generated from a nozzle thereof, a gas supply device configured to supply a gas to the plasma head while controlling a flow rate of the gas, gas tube connecting the gas supply device with the plasma head to constitute a gas flow path, and pressure detector configured to detect a pressure of the gas supplied from the gas supply deice. Pressures of gases which are supplied to the plasma head are detected for use for various purposes, whereby the practical plasma emitting device is made up. Specifically, for example, a head clogging, which is a clog impeding a gas flow in the plasma head, can be determined without difficulty based on the detected pressure.

Plasma exposure device

An atmospheric pressure plasma generating device includes a nozzle block in which fourth gas passages from which plasma gas is emitted are formed, is covered by cover, and a through-hole is formed in the cover such that the leading end of the fourth gas passage is positioned on the inside. Heated gas is supplied inside the cover and is emitted from the through-hole of the cover, and plasma gas is emitted so as to penetrate the heated gas. By the plasma gas being surrounded by the heated gas in this manner, deactivation of the plasma gas is prevented. A distance between the leading end of the fourth gas passage and an opening of the through-hole at an outer wall of the cover is set from 0 to 2 mm in an emission direction of the plasma gas.

Plasma generating device

An atmospheric pressure plasma device including a plasma head; a gas tube configured to supply a gas to the plasma head; a flow rate controller configured to control a flow rate of the gas supplied to the gas tube; a pressure sensor arranged downstream of the flow rate controller and configured to detect a pressure in the gas tube; and a determining section configured to determine a state of the device based on how the pressure in the gas tube deviates from a standard value specified for each flow rate of the supplied gas. As a result, it is possible to determine the gas leakage of the atmospheric pressure plasma device. Further, it is possible to determine whether plasma is being generated in a favorable state.

Atmospheric pressure plasma device

Water is flowed inside main body section formed from an insulating material such that a specified space remains inside the main body section. Electrodes and are arranged along the outer walls of the main body section and voltage is applied to the electrodes. Processing gas present inside the main body section is plasmarized and plasma is emitted to the water flowing inside the main body section.
