Description

Vacuum microwave dewatering equipment
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of microwave dehydration, in particular to vacuum microwave dehydration equipment.
Background
In recent years, vacuum microwave dehydration technology has been rapidly developed to meet the demand of people for higher product quality and large-scale commercialization. Particularly, the technology is mature in the aspects of agricultural products, food and medicines. Since the boiling point of water decreases with decreasing pressure, the aqueous material can be dehydrated at lower temperatures by suitable application of microwave energy under vacuum conditions to avoid changes in properties and loss of ingredients due to high temperatures.
Based on the characteristics of vacuum and microwave, there are a number of technical challenges to be addressed in practice. One of these is how to introduce microwave energy into the vacuum chamber without causing arcing within the chamber. This is because there is no air as an insulator in the vacuum chamber, and the high energy density microwaves cause electrical breakdown, resulting in high temperature plasma discharge, with serious consequences. In addition, due to the uncertainty of microwave energy distribution in the vacuum chamber, sufficient consideration needs to be given to the uniformity of material dehydration, which is particularly important for certain sensitive materials. In combination with the above-mentioned requirements in terms of operation, maintenance and costs, there are currently a number of technical means and methods which are disclosed.
For example, chinese utility model patent No. ZL205300193U proposes that a rotary drum is penetrated by microwaves in a vacuum chamber, so that the materials are continuously tumbled and mixed in the drum, and finally uniform dewatering effect is obtained. However, in this solution, the microwave energy needs to be introduced into the vacuum chamber from the atmospheric environment through a special window located on the vacuum chamber. Since the microwave with large energy can generate plasma discharge near the window under the vacuum condition, the usable energy density is severely restricted, and the capacity of production equipment with unit size is limited. In addition, the material carrying roller in the vacuum chamber is difficult to operate and control from outside the vacuum chamber when working in a microwave environment, which limits the size of the roller and the applicable material range.
The chinese patent application with publication number CN1952570A proposes that the introduction port of a microwave source or other heating source is arranged in a microwave chamber for suspension, the material is directly placed on the inner wall of a vacuum chamber, the vacuum chamber is rotated as a whole to obtain uniform dehydration effect, and the complexity of the apparatus can be greatly reduced because a roller as a material carrier is omitted. But one port of the vacuum chamber is used for microwave energy introduction, so that the scheme cannot achieve large-scale continuous feeding and discharging production. Further, the microwave energy inlet is provided in the vacuum chamber, and it is difficult to install and maintain the microwave energy inlet in terms of engineering.
Therefore, a new vacuum microwave dehydration device and method are needed to be provided to solve the problems of complicated device structure, overlarge size, inconvenience in installation and maintenance, further incapability of continuous production and the like caused by the need of avoiding the generation of plasma discharge and the like.
