MICROWAVE DEVICE AND FLOW TUBE USED THEREIN

摘要

The present invention relates to a microwave device in which a single-mode cavity resonator is used and uniform and efficient treatment is achieved by increasing a flow rate of a liquid to be treated. The microwave device according to an aspect of the present invention includes a single-mode cavity resonator having an irradiation chamber as a quadrangular prism cavity or a cylindrical cavity, a flow tube installed in the irradiation chamber whose axis line is substantially aligned in a direction of an electric field generated in the irradiation chamber, and an obstacle having a different dielectric constant from the dielectric constant of a liquid to be treated flowing through the flow tube and contained in the flow tube to disturb a flow of the liquid to be treated.
