Microwave drying and microwave plasma
0During the industrial processing of organic and inorganic basic materials, a significant volume of energy, in the form of heat, is going to be inputted. The fundamental challenge during the heating and drying processes, curing procedures, chemical reactions or in the preparation and conditioning of foodstuff, is in achieving the heating of a good that is as uniform as possible, by a short time as possible remaining in the oven.
Conventional processes such as infra-red radiation or heating via hot gases or liquids, can only heat the good externally. The actual warming of the volume takes place by heat conduction, a rather process.
Microwave heating provides an almost perfect procedure for the quick heating of such goods. Qualitatively and quantitatively specific dried goods that require uniform volumetric heating can be processed by microwave heating.
Microwaves are used in preference for plasma excitation in process technology. Plasma-assisted coating deposition, plasma cleaning and plasma etching are for example used in the semiconductor and optical industries.
