The efficiency of dielectric heating by using symmetrically electric power ports on electrode plate for pest control

This research is conducted to analyze the efficiency of dielectric heating by increasing the input ports which are to be symmetrically model on the electrode plate. This analysis is considering of the electric field distribution and intensity in dielectric loads. The electric fields are caused by the electric power on electrode plates of the input ports to improve the thermals temperatures and electric field distribution of dielectric loads. The dielectric loads are the grains and pests, the rice and rice weevils are the target dielectric materials. To investigate the heating predicted by the theoretical model, the electric field distribution and intensity are analyzed by using the finite difference time domain method. The results demonstrate that the efficiency of the dielectric heating exterminated pests and temperature of grains without losing the quality. The advantage of the method is being able to be utilized for the dielectric heating applications to pest control and control the appropriate temperature of the grains in the future.
