    Abstract: A method for controlling a microwave heating system is provided. The method may be used with a system having a liquid-filled microwave heating chamber and includes measuring the value of one or more microwave system parameters. Suitable parameters can include, for example, net microwave power discharged, the temperature of the liquid in the microwave chamber, the flow rate of liquid through the microwave chamber, and the speed of the conveyance system disposed within the microwave chamber. The measured value of the selected parameter is then compared to a target value for that parameter in order to determine a difference. Based on the difference, one or more actions can be taken in order to start, stop, or alter the operation of the microwave heating system.

    Abstract: A method and system for heating a plurality of articles is provided. The method includes discharging microwave energy into a microwave chamber and passing a plurality of articles through the heating zone. At least a portion of the microwave energy discharged into the heating zone may first be phase shifted using one or more phase shifting devices. One embodiment of a rotatable phase shifting device is also provided and includes an elongated fixed member disposed proximate a rotatable housing. The phase shifting device employed by the microwave heating system is configured such that the ratio of the article residence time in the heating zone to the phase shifting rate is at least about 4:1. Rotatable phase shifting devices, or variable phase short circuits, as described herein can also be used in other applications, such as, for example, as impedance or frequency tuning devices.

    Abstract: A method for heating a plurality of articles according to a prescribed heating profile is provided. The method includes heating a first test article in a small-scale microwave heating system and, based on the value of one or more parameters determined during this small-scale heating, determining a prescribed heating profile for the test article. Suitable parameters can include for example, net power discharged, sequential microwave distribution, average temperature and flow rate of the fluid in the heating chamber, and residence time. The heating profile can then be used to control a commercial-scale microwave heating system used to heat a plurality of similar articles.

    Abstract: A microwave system for heating a plurality of articles and a method of using the same is provided. The microwave heating system comprises at least three microwave launchers and at least three microwave allocation devices for dividing the microwave energy into at least three separate portions. Each allocation device is configured to divide the microwave energy passing therethrough according to a predetermined ratio, and at least one of the allocation devices is configured to divide the microwave energy according to a predetermined ratio that is not 1:1. The resulting energy portions can then be discharged into the microwave heating chamber via the launchers and used to heat a plurality of articles, including foodstuffs, medical fluids, or medical instruments, disposed within the heating chamber.
