Design and Application of a Cylindrical TM020Mode Applicator for the In-Line Microwave Preheating of Liquid Thermosets
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper concerns the design and application of a cylindrical TMowmode applicator for in-line microwave preheating of precatalysed thermosetting resin during resin transfer moulding (RTM) .A 35% reduction in cycle time was achieved using such an applicator through the elimination of mould quench as cool resin was injected into a heated mould. Although this paper focuses on he precatalysed polyester resin, the results are applicable to the in-line heating of any viscous, temperature sensitive fluid where excessive heating of the laminar boundary layers is undesirable.
