DEVICE FOR HEATING MATERIAL BY MICROWAVE ENERGY

摘要

A heating device has a resonator divided into at least two parallel chambers by a separating wall. The separating wall is connected to a microwave energy source at at least one point on one edge of said wall whereby a magnetic field is generated along the opposite edge of said separating wall. The corresponding electrical field heats the material desired to be heated. A slot may be provided in the resonator wall above the edge of the separating wall. Two more parallel chambers may be placed above the first two chambers with a corresponding slot parallel to the first slot. The material to be heated may then be placed into the second corresponding slot. The chambers may be provided with cooling elements disposed generally parallel to the separating wall.
