Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0515975A2] A plasma torch comprises a torch housing, rear and front tubular electrodes coaxially mounted within such housing with a gap therebetween, both electrodes being fabricated from copper having tubular inserts of refractory material, a vortex generator for introducing a tangential flow of gas in opposite direction into the tubular electrodes through the gap between the two electrodes, and a cooling system for cooling the tubular electrodes. <IMAGE>
