Abstract
A microwave absorbing heater comprising a porous body containing silicon oxide and having a porosity of 40 to 95%. A microwave absorbing heater may be formed of a porous body having a porosity of 40 to 95% and composed of an inorganic electrical insulating material, and a silicon carbide film formed on the surface thereof. Since the microwave absorptivity is high, the dissipation of water from a heated object is easy and the heat dissipation is small, the heating efficiency is great. The thermal shock resistance is also high.
Claims9
A microwave absorbing heater comprising a porous body formed of silicon carbide without substantially having free carbon and free silicon and having a porosity of 40 to 95% so that the porous body does not substantially retain therein vapor produced from a material heated by the microwave and provides high thermal shock resistance not less than 400.degree. C. to easily scorch a surface of the heated material.
A microwave absorbing heater comprising a porous body having a porosity of 40 to 95% so that the porous body does not substantially retain therein vapor produced from a material heated by the microwave and provides high thermal shock resistance not less than 400.degree. C. to easily scorch a surface of the heated material, said porous body being composed of 60 to 98 wt. % of the silicon carbide without substantially having free carbon and free silicon and 40 to 2 wt. % of an inorganic electrical insulating material to consolidate the silicon carbide particles without lowering microwave absorption ability.
A microwave absorbing heater comprising a porous body having a porosity of 40 to 95% and composed of an inorganic electrical insulating material and a silicon carbide layer without substantially having free carbon and free silicon and formed on an entire surface of the porous body so that the porous body does not substantially retain therein vapor produced from a material heated by the microwave and provides high thermal shock resistance not less than 400.degree. C. to easily scorch a surface of the heated material.
