What is the energy efficiency of plasma heat treatment – Plasma Annealing?
A4: The energy efficiency plasma heating is estimated at 99%. This means that 99% of the electrical power conducted into plasma converts into heat in the wire. However, the energy used by vacuum pumps to maintain low-pressure in the plasma chamber can be as high as 20% of the total energy consumption. This makes the overall efficiency of PlasmaANNEALER at 80% or more, depending on the design of the sealing system.
