A radio frequency (RF) laundry dryer (10) includes, amongst other things, an RF generator (20), an RF applicator (12) having a perforated body (18) supporting anode and cathode elements (14, 16), a fan (22) arranged relative to the perforated body (18) to flow or draw air through the perforated body (18), and an electromagnetic shield (26) protecting the fan (22) from the e-field. Both anode and cathode elements (14, 16) are operably coupled to the RF generator (20) to generate a field of electromagnetic radiation (e-field) between the anode and cathode upon the energizing of the RF generator (20). |
