Smart Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Decontamination: Spatially Targeted Decontamination With Actuated Ozone Distribution

This study introduces spatially targeted decontamination using a synergistic combination of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) flow actuation and ozone generation. Here, we relate the spatial distribution local microbial decontaminations in an enclosure to that concentrations caused by DBD generation two reactors with contrasting actuation, Fan Comb reactors, run at equal power 1 ± 0.03 W for 3.5 min. Deviations reductions Escherichia coli on contaminated coupons over planes were used quantify utilization capacity generated simultaneously disinfect regions surface placed planes. Results show uniform consumption target, i.e., decontamination, lowers requirements, exposure times, reactor energy its disinfection. Furthermore, significant positive correlation was found between Pearson’s correlation, ? (34) = 0.64; p < 0.001. Simulated experiment integrated simulation method, governed geometry induced reaction rates, is also presented predicting actuated distribution. Our shows innovative approach applying plasma achieve killing maximized lowering overall dosage times.
