Experimental data on a gas discharge obtained for comparatively 
high currents (4-11 A), powers (5-15 kW), and current density 
at a liquid cathode (0.8-1.0 A/cm2) 
are presented. As the electrolyte, a solution of sodium salt in distilled 
water was used. The losses on the liquid cathode were significantly 
diminished by decreasing its electric resistance. Regimes in which 
the thermal efficiency of a discharge apparatus is equal to 80% have been determined.
