<p>A method of heating media flowing through an insulating pipe by means of high-frequency electrical power. The medium is fed through a pipe of a substantially electrically non-conducting material and only presenting minor dielectric losses, and around which two ring electrodes are arranged at such a mutual axial distance that the two electrode rings are mutually spaced by a predetermined pipe length connecting said electrodes to the terminals of an HF generator and applying an HF voltage from the HF generator. In this manner a uniform and efficient heating is obtained of the flowing medium or fluid (granulate, liquid or gas) without said medium necessarily getting into direct contact with a heating means and without said medium escaping from its conveying pipe. The latter is very advantageous in connection with many uses, such as when toxic or aggressive media apply, and also when sensitive media are involved which do not endure getting in contact with the atmosphere.</p> |
