Results of experimental studies of microwave processing of biological substrates in a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation

Abstract

The creation of a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation for microwave processing of biological substrates will significantly increase both the economic and energy efficiency of the installation, due to the simultaneous thermal and non-thermal processing of materials. In a microwave electrotechnological installation, it is possible to process two or more types of products with improved qualities, as a result of which it is possible to significantly increase profits at the same energy costs. The work presents a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation, in which it is possible to carry out microwave processing of organic materials of plant origin, as well as agricultural crops. A general view of the hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation and its mathematical model are presented. The results of experimental studies of the modes of microwave processing of organic materials of plant origin in a microwave electrotechnological installation are presented. As a result of microwave processing of organic materials of plant origin, as well as agricultural crops, in a hybrid microwave electrotechnological installation, their processing time is significantly reduced, while ensuring the required quality of the dried material.
