Comparative analysis of installations for heat treatment of non-food pulp raw materials by the influence of electrophysical factors

Relevance. The objectives of the work are to develop radio-hermetic installations and substantiate the effective design of the working chamber, which provides a comprehensive effect of electrophysical factors on non-food pulp raw materials to preserve feed value at reduced operating costs. Scientific tasks: 1) to develop installations with different designs of resonators; 2) to conduct a comparative analysis of the working chambers according to the main parameters; 3) to evaluate the technical and economic indicators of an effective installation in relation to the basic version.

Methods. The effect of electrophysical factors on raw materials is realized in resonators with magnetrons and frequency generators of pulse-modeled high-frequency oscillations of 110 kHz, where a bactericidal flux lamp serves as a high-potential electrode.

Results. Several continuous-flow radiohermetic installations with ultrahigh-frequency (microwave) power supply to non-standard resonators have been developed, inside which a complex effect of a high-intensity electric field, a bactericidal flow of UV rays and ozone is realized to reduce bacterial contamination of the product and neutralize odor during heat treatment of raw materials, the dimensions of which are consistent with the depth of penetration of the wave. Features of conical and biconic resonators − provide radio leakage in continuous operation by cutting off the tip at the level of the critical section, depending on the angle of inclination of the cone generator, and allow you to keep the standing wave inside the resonator. The combination of magnetron and cylindrical resonators increases the efficiency of the interaction of the electron flux with the microwave field, and an increase in the inductive volume, which is a “reservoir” of energy, increases the intrinsic quality of the resonator. A quasi-toroidal resonator, presented as a conical resonator in a toroidal resonator, having small overall dimensions and metal consumption, provides a traveling wave in the annular space, and a standing wave in the conical space. The high electric field strength in the capacitor part of the resonator and the corona discharge in the torus contribute to the disinfection of raw materials.
