Dry-processing apparatus for heating and drying objects to be processed

A dry-processing apparatus for disposing of garbage, comprising:

• a garbage container for accommodating garbage, said garbage container being made of a heat-insulating material and also serving as a part of a microwave-shielding container for shielding microwaves;
• a microwave generator for irradiating microwaves into said microwave-shielding container to heat the garbage accommodated in said garbage container;
• a flow path for allowing vapor generated from the heated garbage to flow therethrough;
• cooling means for cooling at least a portion of said flow path in order to cool the vapor flowing therethrough;
• condensing means for condensing the cooled vapor into water;
• and
• wherein said garbage container comprises a doublewalled sidewall having an evacuated interior and which acts as a heat insulating sidewall, and a base formed of a microwave transmittable material and enclosing a bottom end of said doublewalled sidewall.

A dry-processing apparatus for disposing of garbage, comprising:

• a microwave-shielding container for shielding microwaves;
• a garbage container for accommodating garbage, said garbage container being made of a heat-insulating material mainly composed of metal and being mounted in said microwave-shielding container in such a manner as to form a vapor flow path between said garbage container and said microwave-shielding container;
• a microwave generator for irradiating microwaves into said microwave-shielding container to heat the garbage accommodated in said garbage container and to cause vapor generated from the garbage to flow through said vapor flow path;
• cooling means for cooling at least a portion of said microwave-shielding container in order to cool vapor in said flow path between said microwave-shielding container and said garbage container;
• condensing means for condensing the vapor cooled by said cooling means, said condensing means being formed at least partially by walls of said microwave-shielding container;
• a drain port in communication with said vapor flow path for discharging condensate from said microwave-shielding container;
• and
• temperature detecting means for detecting the temperature of the vapor so as to detect the degree of dryness of the garbage accommodated in said garbage container.

A dry-processing apparatus for heating and drying objects to be processed, comprising:

• a rotatable receptacle for accommodating objects to be dried, said rotatable receptacle being supported for rotation around a tilted axis;
• drive means for rotating said rotatable receptacle;
• heating means for heating the objects accommodated in said rotatable receptacle;
• a condensing container surrounding said rotatable receptacle, said condensing container having an opening and a lid member to close said opening;
• cooling means for cooling said condensing container;
• and
• a communicating path defined between said rotatable receptacle and said condensing container, wherein the wall material of said rotatable receptacle has a lower thermal conductivity, in a transverse direction across the wall, than the wall material of said condensing container.

A dry-processing apparatus for heating and drying objects to be processed, comprising:

• receptacle means for accommodating objects to be dried by heating, said receptacle means having at least a part of its bottom made of a microwave transmittable material;
• condensing means for vapor generated from the heated objects, said condensing means surrounding said receptacle means and having an opening, a lid member to close said opening and a microwave inlet portion at a bottom portion of said condensing means;
• microwave generator means for radiating microwaves through said microwave inlet portion to heat the objects accommodated in said receptacle means;
• cooling means for cooling the outer surface of said condensing means;
• and
• rotation drive for rotating said receptacle means in a slanted condition.

A dry-processing apparatus for disposing of garbage, comprising:

• garbage receptacle means for accommodating garbage;
• means for heating the garbage accommodated in said garbage receptacle means;
• condensing means, located outside of and surrounding said garbage receptacle means, for condensing vapor generated from the garbage when heated by said heating means, a vapor flow passage being defined by a space formed between said condensing means and said garbage receptacle means for allowing vapor generated from the garbage to flow outside of the apparatus;
• cooling means for cooling said condensing means;
• and
• heat-insulating means for thermally insulating said garbage receptacle means from said condensing means.

A dry-processing apparatus for heating and drying objects to be processed, comprising:

• receptacle means for accommodating objects to be dried, said receptacle means being slanted with respect to the vertical direction;
• heating means for heating the objects and vapor generated from the objects, said heating means being located above said receptacle means;
• air feeding means, located above said receptacle means, for feeding hot air heated by said heating means into said receptacle means;
• means for rotating said receptacle means;
• and
• condensing means, surrounding a side wall of said receptacle means, for condensing the vapor generated from the objects into water.

A dry-processing apparatus for heating and drying objects to be processed, comprising:

• receptacle means composed of a vacuum heatinsulating container for accommodating objects to be dried, said vacuum heat-insulating container being slanted with respect to the vertical direction;
• heating means, located above said receptacle means, for heating the objects and vapor generated from the objects;
• air feeding means, located above said receptacle means, for feeding hot air heated by said heating means into said receptacle means;
• rotating means for rotating said receptacle means around an axis tiled with respect to the vertical direction;
• and
• condensing means, surrounding said receptacle means, for condensing the vapor generated from the objects into water.
