1. Thermal plasma production techniques
There are two main techniques for producing thermal plasmas at or near atmospheric pressure: RF radio-frequency torches and direct current (DC) arcs, either blown or transferred. The key parameters of plasma production devices are as follows.

Torch thermal efficiency
It quantifies the power dissipated in the gas:
