Technical Confrontation of Two Prototypes of Dielectric Drying Wood using Radio Frequency

Abstract

Starting from the premise that dielectric endogenous drying method is the one that gives better results on wood, there will be a confrontation between two different prototypes from the perspectives of the design philosophy and outcome results in a wooden probe. This work opens the gap for future research around this type of industrial RF applications, in order to design a prototype scale industrial furnace for wood drying.
