Abstract Two new applications of
microwave power in food processing are considered. In both cases,
extensive on site experimentation has provided satisfactory results,
but the decision to install full-scale systems depends upon economic criteria
presently being considered. The experimental installations are described and
the operating results presented. Full-scale industrial systems for these and
similar applications may require a hundred or even several hundreds of
kilowatts of microwave power. A 50-kW, 2.45 GHz, high-efficiency klystron,
developed by THOMSON-CSF, is expected to satisfy these requirements. |
