Definitions

  • This invention relates to radio frequency dielectric heating. apparatus of the kind provided with a duct giving access to the heating enclosure.
  • Such ducts allow the escape of interference radiation, and the attenuation of such radiation is a major problem with apparatus of the kind.
  • signal-attenuating systems usually require a length equal to one or more wavelengths, of the fundamental frequency carried by the waveguide.
  • an attenuation of perhaps 30 db must be achieved in a fraction of a wavelength, and the attenuating devices must not obstruct the passage through the duct for the material to be heated. It has already been proposed to use ducts having a length equal to a quarter of the wavelength corresponding to the operational frequency of the apparatus.
  • a conveyor band runs into the oven through the first duct and leaves the oven through the second duct.
  • the length of each duct is about 7 feet.
  • Ducts of this type are constructed of sheet metal, the width being just sufficient to pass the conveyor band whilst the height is usually just sufficient for the passage of the material to be heated in the dielectric oven.
  • ducts of this type achieve a moderate standard of suppression of radiation at the fundamental frequency they do not suppress harmonic radiation satisfactorily. In fact, they may even increase the harmonic radiation above the level which would result had no duct been fitted to the equipment.
  • the interference radiation was reduced quite substantially at all frequencies up to 100 mc./s. Above 100 mc./s. the interference radiation began increasing quite rapidly until a frequency of about 150 mc./s. Above this frequency the interference radiation did not increase further. The difference between the level of radiation below about 100 mc./s.
  • a duct of this type is in fact a short length of waveguide, and all waveguides have a critical pass frequency.
  • the waveguide is regarded as operating in the cut-off region. In this cut-0E region the waveguide shows a substantial attenuation of several db for every foot run of waveguide length. Above the critical frequency the waveguide attenuation is extremely small and it is an extremely efficient means of conveying the radio frequency energy from one point to another.
  • the critical frequency of the waveguide corresponds with that frequency which has a half wavelength equal to the largest dimension of the waveguide at right-angles to the waveguide axis.
  • the critical pass frequency of the duct when considered as a waveguide is governed by the width of the duct and is a little under 150 mc./s. Measurements show that in fact at and above this frequency there is little or no interference attenuation in a duct having these dimensions,
  • the duct includes longitudinally spaced transverse electrically conductive partitions which are so shaped and arranged within the duct that a path is left from one end of the duct to the other for the passage of the material to be heated.
  • the transverse partitions which are preferably at right-angles to the length of the duct although they may be arranged obliquely across the duct, may take the form of upper partitions extending downwards from the roof to the top of the conveyor path and lower partitions extending upwards from the floor of the duct to the bottom of the conveyor path, or alternatively each partition may be in the form of a panel which closes the duct with the exception of an aperture through which passes the material to be heated.
  • Resistors or resistive material may be connected between the upper and lower partitions or from top to bottom of the aperture in the conductive panel, at the sides of the passage for the material to be heated. Resistive panels may also be arranged parallel to the top and b0ttom of the duct, along the inner edges of the upper and lower partitions or the inner edges of the aperture in the conductive panel.
  • an extension can be added to the duct defined above, the extension having a length which is equal to one-quarter of the wavelength corresponding to the frequency which is to be attenuated.
  • FIGURE 1 shows a typical dielectric heating oven provided with interference attenuation ducts
  • FIGURE 2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view through a duct according to the invention.
  • FIGURES 3 and 4 are respectively a transverse crosssectional view and an end view of the duct of FIGURE 2;
  • FIGURE 5 shows a modified form of the duct of FIGURE 2
  • FIGURE 6 shows a duct of the kind illustrated in FIGURE 2 to which resistive dam-ping has been added;
  • FIGURES 7, 8, 9 and 10 show further forms of duct incorporating resistive damping
  • FIGURE 11 shows a duct within which an inner duct of resistive material has been formed
  • FIGURE 12 is a diagram explaining the electric field in a duct of the kind shown in FIGURE 11;
  • FIGURE 13 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view through a duct provided with a quarter-wave extension.
  • FIGURE 1 shows diagrammatically a typical dielectric heating equipment of the kind 'to which the invention relates.
  • An entrance duct 16 leads to a heating compartment 18, the other side of which is connected to an exit duct 20.
  • a conveyor band 22 carries the material to be heated through the duct 16, between a pair of electrodes in the heating compartment 18, and then out through the duct 20.
  • the ducts 16 and 20 have been made of sheet metal and with a length equal to one quarter of the wavelength corresponding to the fundamental operating frequency of the equipment. Radiation at the fundamental frequency was attenuated in this way, but the importance of suppressing harmonic radiation was not fully appreciated. When attenuation of radiation over a broad frequency band is desired, there is little advantage in calculating the duct length in this manner.
  • the outer metal wall of the duct is represented at 24, and the duct is divided by a series of transverse partitions 26 and 28 into a number of compartments 30'.
  • Each transverse partition 26 or 28 is of electrically conductive material and the partitions 26 extend downwards from the top of the duct, the partitions 28 extending upwards from the bottom of the duct.
  • the total height of the duct is 38 inches, the height of each partition is 18 inches, and the space between the upper and lower partitions is 2 inches.
  • the effective electrical height of the duct is the space between the two partitions, that is to say 2 inches.
  • the width of the duct is 72 inches and the length (that is to say the distance between the wall of the oven 32 and the outlet of the duct) is 36 inches.
  • the end plates 34 of the duct are in the form of panels which close the duct except for a slot of width 36 inches and height 2 inches.
  • the number of partitions in the duct has been reduced in FIGURE 2 to provide greater clarity. In practice, there were 18 compartments, the partitions being arranged at 2-inch intervals. If particularly strong attenuation of one particular frequency is required, each partition should have a height of about one quarter of a wavelength at this frequency. If the partitions are too small, the radiation will not be greatly attenuated above the critical frequency.
  • the upper and lower partitions may have different heights, if desired.
  • FIGURE shows a duct similar to that of FIGURE 2 except that the conductive partitions 26 and 28 are staggered in the longitudinal direction of the duct.
  • compartments 30 of FIG URE 2 may be separated by panels similar to the end plate 34 of FIGURE 4.
  • the compartments are separated by single partitions extending inwards from the top, bottom, or one side of the duct.
  • Increasing the height of the duct and inserting radiation-reflecting partitions is found to increase the critical pass fre quency of the duct by 50% or more, and in general to provide considerable attentuation of harmonic frequencies below the new critical frequency. However, it may be found that individual harmonics pass through such a duct with little attenuation.
  • FIGURE 6 shows a duct in which substantially noninductive resistors 36 and 38 are connected between the upper and lower partitions 26 and 28.
  • the resistors 38 and 36 are spaced from the side wall by 17 inches and 18 inches respectively, and each resistor has a value of 100 ohms.
  • the effect of adding resistance damping to the radiation-reflecting partitions is to render more uniform the improvement in attenuation of the harmonic frequencies below the critical frequency. It will be found that by changing the values of the resistors 36 and the resistors 38, the relative attenuation of the harmonic frequencies can be varied.
  • the duct shown in FIGURE 7 is similar to that of FIG- URE 6 except that it employs panels 40 in place of the upper and lower partitions 26 and 28. Again it is provided with the damping resistors 36 and 38, the space between the inner resistors serving to provide a passage for the material to be heated. Damping resistors can also be connected between adjacent upper and lower partitions in the duct shown in FIGURE 5, in which the upper and lower partitions are staggered longitudinally.
  • the number of conductive partitions Within the duct may be quite high.
  • the longitudinal spacing of the partitions may be only about one twohundredths of a wavelength at the fundamental frequency of the radio frequency generator.
  • the resistors which are intended to carry radio frequency current which would otherwise have flowed in the side walls of the duct, should not be placed so close to the side wall that the impedance presented to the current by the side wall path is lower than that presented by the resistors.
  • top and bottom partitions 26 and 28 are joined at each side by an inwardly projecting panel 42 which consists of graphite surfaced resin-bonded paper board.
  • panel 42 is bolted to the two partitions at points 44 to provide good electrical contact with each of them.
  • FIGURE 9 With the form of duct shown in FIGURE 9 there is a 2 inch longitudinal spacing between partitions, and two resistive panels 46 lie parallel with the top of the duct and extend for the whole of the length of the duct.
  • the height of the space between the resistive panels is 4 inches.
  • One panel 46 is connected to the lower edge of each of the upper partitions 26, and the other panel 46 is similarly connected to the upper edges of each of the lower partitions 28, the two panels forming an inner duct.
  • the panels 46 need not make contact with the conductive partitions, and that a small air gap between the edges of the conductive partitions and the panels 46 presents little impedance to the flow of radio frequency currents between the partitions and the panels.
  • the panels 46 extend only for the width of the passage for the material to be heated and resistors 36 and 38 are connected between upper and lower partitions at the sides of this passage.
  • the vertical distance between the horizontal resistive panels 46 was 4 inches
  • the longitudinal spacing between the transverse conductive partitions was 2 inches
  • the two resistors of each pair were arranged at 17 inches and 18 inchw from the nearest side of the duct.
  • the resistive panels were of asbestos cement coated with resistance material to give a resistance of approximately 3,000 ohms per unit square of area.
  • the end panels of the duct were of the form shown in FIGURE 4, but the height of the slot was 4 inches.
  • a staggered arrangement of the partitions 26 and 28 can be used in the apparatus of FIG- URES 9 and 10.
  • Resistive panels appear to be more effective than resistors in attenuating interference above the critical frequency, but the combination illustrated in FIGURE is yet more effective, enabling an average attenuation improvement of 10-15 db above critical frequency in the tested equipment.
  • an inner duct 48 of high surfac e resistance is spaced from the outer metal shell by a transverse conductive panel to having a slot to accommodate the inner duct, which consists of insulating board on the inner surface of which is deposited a high resistance film of carbon.
  • Each metal panel 4%) is bent at a rightangle at its inner and outer edges to form flanges (not shown) by means of which the panel is riveted or bolted to the inner duct 48 and also to the outer shell to provide good electrical contacts.
  • connection of fiat resistance panels across the edges of the conductive partitions by increasing the capacitance between the top and bottom of the duct also cause lines of electrostatic flux to flow outwards from the edges of the partitions, along the resistive panels, before crossing the gap between upper and lower panels.
  • the insulating panels 46 and 48 may be an asbestos cement board (for example, that sold under the trade name Sindany-o and made by Turners Asbestos Co. Ltd.) and it may be painted with a colloidal graphite solution to which a synthetic resin is added as binder, the painted board being baked for to 30 minutes to produce the required stable conducting film.
  • a suitable graphite solution is sold under the trade name Dag and is supplied by the makers (Acheson Colloids Ltd. of Plymouth, England), in mixes suitable for producing layers of medium resistance values.
  • other materials such as wood, cardboard, concrete, foam rubber, foam polystyrene and textile materials may be employed in place of the asbestos cement board.
  • a thin sheet of high-resistance material can be used.
  • Such a sheet can be produced, for example, by mixing powdered graphite with cement, and may have a thickness of three-eighths of an inch. Asbestos may be added to the board to improve its mechanical properties.
  • the resistance of the board forming the inner duct should vary from point to point. In general, it should be lower at the sides of the duct and higher along the top and bottom surfaces of the duct, but the optimum values of resistance at dilferent points will vary with the dimensions of the duct.
  • resistive material in combination with the conductive partitions is found to have the effect of rendering more uniform the level of attenuation over the frequency band.
  • resistors or resistive panels will in general improve the attenuation of this harmonic.
  • FIGURE 2 Further attenuation at the particular frequency may also be obtained by adding to a duct of the form. shown in FIGURE 2 an extension having the cross-sectional dimensions of the aperture in the end panel of the duct of FIGURE 2 and having a length equal to approximately one-quarterof a wavelength at the frequency for which additional attenuation is required.
  • FIGURE 13 An arrangement of this kind is shown in FIGURE 13 in which the extension 50 has a length of 16% inches, which corresponds to a quarter wavelength at the frequencyo'f mc./s.
  • More than one quarter-wavelength extension 50 may be included. If desired, the quarter-wave extension 50 may be supplemented by a similar extension which projects from the inner end of the duct into the oven 32. This inner extension may be given a length equal to a quarter wavelength of a different harmonic frequency if desired.
  • Improved attenuation may also be obtained by placing end to end two or more ducts of the form shown in FIGURE 12 (that is to say including an extension 50), and again the extensions 50 may be of lengths equal to quarter-wavelengths of different harmonic frequency.
  • the individual resistors 36 in FIGURE 6 may be replaced by two continuous resistive panels connected to the upper and lower partitions at the points previously connected to the resistors 36.
  • the two rows of resistors 38 may be similarly replaced by resistive panels.
  • the height of the duct and therefore of the partitions within the duct can be varied from point to point along the duct in order to alter the shape of the attenuation characteristic over the required frequency range.
