ARC FILTERING SYSTEM
The arc filtering system is designed to filter (to purify) the arc source generated plasma flow from macrodrops and macroparticles. Its operation principle consists in plasma-optical transportation of the charged plasma component through a curvilinear channel optically opaque to macrodrops and macroparticles.
