Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for heating a fluid or other material. The apparatuses may include a container (e.g., tube) in which a susceptor material is disposed. The susceptor material may convert microwave energy to heat, which may increase the temperature of a fluid or material in or adjacent the tube.
Claims19
A method for heating fluids using electromagnetic energy, the process comprising:
- (a) irradiating a plurality of susceptor particles with electromagnetic energy to thereby provide heated susceptor particles;
- and
- (b) contacting a fluid with the heated susceptor particles to thereby heat the fluid at a rate of at least 100° C./min.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
