Abstract

A vapor injection system and method of use thereof. The system including a fluid inlet in fluidic communication with a fluid reservoir, a voltage conditioner connected to a power source, where the voltage conditioner is configured to receive electrical energy from the power source, and transform the electrical energy, wherein transforming the electrical energy includes regulating voltage of the electrical energy and modifying frequency of the voltage, an iron core coil connected to the voltage conditioner, wherein the iron core is configured to transmit the transformed electrical energy from the voltage conditioner, a crystal compressor connected to the iron core coil and the fluid inlet, configured to: receive the transformed electrical energy from the iron core coil, receive the fluid from the fluid inlet, generate the vapor as a function of the transformed electrical energy and the fluid and output the vapor using a vapor outlet.

Claims (33)

1. A vapor injection system for a plasma reactor, the system comprising:

a fluid inlet in fluidic communication with a fluid reservoir, wherein the fluid inlet is configured to transport a fluid;

a voltage conditioner connected to a power source, wherein the voltage conditioner is configured to:

receive electrical energy from the power source; and

transform the electrical energy, wherein transforming the electrical energy comprises: regulating voltage of the electrical energy; and

modifying frequency of the voltage;

a crystal compressor connected to the voltage conditioner and the fluid inlet, wherein the crystal compressor further comprises an iron core coil, and wherein the crystal compressor is configured to:

receive the transformed electrical energy from the iron core coil;

receive the fluid from the fluid inlet;

generate the vapor as a function of the transformed electrical energy and the fluid; and

output the vapor to the plasma reactor using a vapor outlet.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is externally mounted to or internally integrated within the plasma reactor, and the injectors are further configured to output the vapor to the plasma reactor within a reaction region disposed between a first electrode and a second electrode.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the fluid inlet comprises at least a pump.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the at least a pump is communicatively connected to a controller.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the crystal compressor is communicatively connected to a controller.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein voltage conditioner is communicatively connected to a controller.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the crystal compressor is configured to receive transformed electrical energy using an iron core coil.

8. A method for using the vapor injection system of claim 1 ,

wherein the method comprises: receiving, at a fluid inlet, a fluid from a fluid reservoir;

receiving, at a voltage conditioner connected to a power source, electrical energy;

transforming, using the voltage conditioner, the electrical energy, wherein transforming the

electrical energy comprises:

regulating voltage of the electrical energy; and

modifying frequency of the electrical energy;

generating, using the crystal compressor, vapor as function of the transformed electrical energy and the fluid; and

outputting, using a vapor outlet, the vapor.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises outputting the vapor to the plasma reactor.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein receiving the fluid further comprises using at least a pump.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the at least a pump is communicatively connected to a controller.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein generating the vapor further comprises using a controller.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein transforming electrical energy may further comprise using a controller.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein transforming the electrical energy comprise regulating voltage of the electrical energy to a range between 110 volts and 220 volts.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the method comprises transmitting, by the iron core coil connected to the voltage conditioner, the transformed electrical energy to the crystal compressor.
