METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DRYING ARTICLES |
摘要 |
A method for drying laundry with a radio frequency (RF) applicator having a plurality of baffles on a drum rotatable on a non-vertical axis, an anode element in at least one first baffle and a cathode element in at least one second baffle, the method including capacitively coupling the anode element to the cathode element, and energizing the RF applicator to generate a field of electromagnetic radiation (e-field) between the anode element and the cathode element, wherein liquid in the laundry residing within the e-field will be dielectrically heated to effect a drying of the laundry. |

1. A method for drying laundry with a radio frequency (RF) generator connected to an applicator having a plurality of baffles on a drum rotatable on a non-vertical axis, an anode element in at least one first baffle and a cathode element in at least one second baffle, the method comprising:
capacitively coupling the anode element to the cathode element; and energizing the RF applicator to generate a field of electromagnetic radiation (e-field) within the radio frequency spectrum between the anode element and the cathode element; wherein liquid in laundry residing within the e-field will be dielectrically heated to effect a drying of the laundry. |
