title: [Selection of the SHF discharge type for the processing of carbon dioxide and hydrogen in a physical-chemical life support system].
abstract: Compared are contrasted are moving, stationary, and combined SHF-discharges, methods of discharge generation and diagnostics of the discharge temperature, electron concentration in the discharge tube. and SHF contribution. A combination of the SHF and arc discharges was selected for prototyping the carbon dioxide and hydrogen processor within a physical-chemical life support system. To sustain temperature in the interval between 1000 and 3500 degrees C to support the initial Bosch reaction, a low-power (30-50 mA) glow discharge will be used instead of the continuous current arc (3-5 A). This combination increases plasma efficiency and is suitable for designing a non-inertia air supply within the space life support system.
