    摘要: The invention relates to a device for pasteurizing or sterilizing a mass of foodstuff, which device comprises: a feed for supplying the mass; heating means for heating the mass, comprising: a tube of an electrically and magnetically inert material connecting to the feed; a system of mutually co-acting electrodes which are added to the tube and which are connected to an RF power generator which generates energy at a frequency in the range of about 10-50 MHZ to the electrodes such that the mass present in the first tube can be heated during its first residence time in this first tube; and a discharge for discharging the mass, wherein the electrodes have rounded corners on their end zones facing toward the inner surface of the tube for the purpose of locally limiting the strength of the electric field generated by the electrodes.

    摘要: A radio frequency (RF) laundry dryer includes, amongst other things, an RF generator, a drying surface and a Faraday cage enclosing the drying surface. The drying surface on which textiles are supported further includes an RF applicator having an anode and cathode coupled to the RF generator. At least a portion of the cathode substantially encompasses the anode to electrically shield the anode from the Faraday cage ensuring the formation of an e-field between the anode and cathode instead of the anode and the Faraday cage upon energizing the RF generator.

    摘要: An RF laundry dryer includes, amongst other things, an RF generator, an RF applicator having a perforated body supporting anode and cathode elements, a fan arranged relative to the perforated body to flow or draw air through the perforated body and an electromagnetic shield protecting the fan from the e-field. Both anode and cathode elements are operably coupled to the RF generator to generate an e-field between the anode and cathode upon the energizing of the RF generator.

    摘要: An apparatus for heating a target comprises a radio frequency heating fork having two substantially parallel tines, the substantially parallel tines electrically connected at a loop end of the radio frequency heating fork, and the substantially parallel tines separated at an open end of the radio frequency heating fork, and a feed coupler connection, the feed coupler connection connecting a power source across the substantially parallel tines of the radio frequency heating fork. The application of power across the substantially parallel tines of the radio frequency heating fork results in induction heating near the loop end of the radio frequency heating fork, and dielectric heating near the open end of the radio frequency tuning fork. A target can be positioned relative to the heating fork to select the most efficient heating method. The heating fork can provide near fields at low frequencies for deep heat penetration.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for dielectric drying is disclosed wherein a load to be heated positioned on a carrier the bottom of which provides a secondary electrode is moved with the carrier a dielectric heating chamber having a primary electrode positioned above load when said load on said carrier is moved into an operative position in the chamber. The carrier and load are elevated into heating position and this movement simultaneously connects the secondary electrode to ground, so that when high frequency power is applied to the primary electrode the circuit is made to dielectrically heat the load.
