Abstract
A microwave heating device for using microwave energy to heat a high polymer material or the like being conveyed under pressure comprises a hollow, cylindrical microwave waveguide closed at one end and having a metallic shell capable of withstanding high internal pressures, a pressure partition made from a dielectric material provided within said waveguide near an open end thereof so as to define a sealed space between itself and the closed end of said waveguide and to define a path for introduction of microwaves between itself and the open end of said waveguide, a solid or liquid dielectric packing material filling said sealed space and thereby forming a packed dielectric region, said packing material having a lower specific inductive capacity than that of the material to be heated, a passage for pressurized conveyance of the material to be heated, said passage running transversely through said waveguide at said packed dielectric region thereof, and a microwave generator for transmitting microwaves into said waveguide, the pressure within said passage is supported by said waveguide, said pressure partition and the closed end of said waveguide.
