Abstract
Highfrequency drying of a porous ceramic has been studied experimentally. The influence of electrode voltage, electrode distance, electric conductivity of the moisture and geometry of the product on the drying rate was investigated. There exists an optimal conductivity for maximum power dissipation and the geometry of the product has a focusing effect on the electric field. A theoretical discussion concludes, that the eddy current free quasi-stationary field is the type of field commonly present in highfrequency drying. With this type of field and the fact, that the complex permittivity of the product changes during drying, the experimental observations can be understood. From theory and experiment, conclusions are drawn in respect to a typical drying curve at highfrequency drying.Keywords
