Water heating by microwave irradiation incapillary chamber - involves adjustment of microwave input by process computer acting upon measured water temps. and thermostat setting

摘要

At the water inlet (1) the rate of flow and temp. are measured by electronic sensors (2, 3) for application to a process control computer (4). The outlet temp. is measured (5) for comparison, and the duration and intensity of the microwaves applied from a generator (7) and amplifier (7a) to the capillary chamber (6) are adjusted accordingly. The consumer selects the temp. required with a thermostat (9). USE/ADVANTAGE - In domestic, industrial or public hot water supplies. Quantity required by consumers is available immediately at correct temp. for smaller appts. performing more rapid heating and efficient energy conversion.
