The microwave processing equipment for continuous flow liquids of the disclosure includes a feed preheating section, a microwave heating section and a cooling section. The microwave heating section includes a microwave generation system, a waveguide system, tuners, and a microwave absorption cavity. The waveguide system includes at least two waveguides. Each waveguide is installed at the microwave feed port formed in the outer wall of the microwave absorption cavity according to a predetermined angle. The predetermined angle is greater than or equal to 15 and less than 90. The disclosure provides a specific implementation scheme for microwave processing of flow liquids. In consideration of the reflection action of microwaves, the safety of equipment operation process and the utilization rate of energy are improved by a special waveguide arrangement mode. It can meet the heating requirement of liquid material and a feasible scheme is provided for the application of microwave processing to flow liquids.

A MW signal is delivered to a waveguide with a coaxial concentrator. At least one of an amplitude and a phase of a reflected signal from the coaxial concentrator is monitored to determine material characteristics of a build material fusion process.

A microwave oven may include a temperature sensor to sense temperature in a cooking cavity, and a controller that can initiate a sous vide cooking cycle in response to user input after placement of a sous vide container (with a water bath and a food item to be cooked inside) into the cooking cavity, monitor a temperature of the water bath contained by the sous vide container during the cooking cycle using the temperature sensor, and control the microwave cooking element in response to the monitored temperature.

A process and apparatus for heating a flowable product. The flowable product is introduced into a vessel or chamber and then heated by use of microwaves. The microwaves are generated by a microwave transmitter and introduced into the vessel at or near a bottom of the vessel via a waveguide. The introduction of microwaves near or at the bottom of the vessel allows mixing of the flowable product as the flowable product is heated.

A processing apparatus includes a microwave processing chamber. In addition, the processing apparatus includes a rigid, rotatable feed wheel rotatable about an axis of rotation such that a part of the feed wheel is located within the processing chamber. Further, the processing apparatus includes a feed device configured to deposit materials to be processed onto the feed wheel. Still further, the processing apparatus includes an output into which processed materials from the feed wheel can be deposited.

A radio frequency heating method includes: cladding an object to be heated by using a surrounding medium, and performing radio frequency heating operation on the object to be heated clad by the surrounding medium, in which the surrounding medium is an alcoholic solution. In the radio frequency heating method according to the embodiments of the present application, by means of using the alcoholic solution as the surrounding medium to clad the object to be heated, heating uniformity of the object to be heated in a radio frequency heating process may be improved, edge corner energy concentration effect in the radio frequency heating process may be fully avoided, and then quality of the object to be heated after heating may be ensured.
