Microwave pressure vessel and method of sterilization

摘要

A novel method and apparatus for sterilizing, disinfecting or otherwise heating materials, objects, liquids and the like under pressure is disclosed. The invention utilizes the generation and transmission of single-mode, non-interfering coaxial microwaves from multiple sources into the material to be treated. As a result, a more efficient transfer of microwave energy into the material to be treated is obtained.
