Abstract

A steam plasma torch includes a anode in the form of a nozzle, a first body for receiving the anode, a flow swirler mounted between the anode and the rod type cathode for inducing vorticity into working gas flow, an insulator connected to the first body, a second body connected to the insulator and formed with a thread, an adjusting element formed with a thread engaged with the thread of the second body, a collet fit in the adjusting element and a cathode in the form of a rod fit in the collet. A gap between the anode and cathode is adjusted when the adjusting element is rotated relative to the second body.
