Patent number: 7015441Abstract: An apparatus and method for heating a sample, such as chemical reaction mixtures are disclosed. The apparatus may include at least a microwave generator, a waveguide for guiding the generated microwaves to an applicator, and a deflector formed by a closed loop defining a plane. The deflector may have an inherent resonance frequency and a thickness in a direction normal to the plane. The deflector may be rotatable around an axis being at least substantially parallel to the plane, and positioned in the waveguide so as to form a resonant cavity with the sample and the waveguide applicator. The resonance conditions of the resonant cavity and the coupling factor of radiation from the waveguide to the cavity may be easily adjustable by rotating the deflector. The resonance conditions and the coupling factor may be adjusted in response to the dielectric properties of the sample in order to optimize the amount of absorbed power and thereby obtain control of the sample heating process.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2003Date of Patent: March 21, 2006Assignee: Personal Chemistry I Uppsala ABInventors: Magnus Fagrell, Per Olov G.
