Abstract :
In this paper we describe our new results dealing with design and evaluation of microwave industrial applicators used for drying of textile materials. We have designed and evaluated two different types of these applicators: open-resonator-type and waveguide-type one. We describe here basic analytical models of the discussed applicators, results of numerical modelling and experimental evaluation as well. Prototype of microwave drying machine working with microwave power of 17 kW at frequency 2.45 GHz is reported.
