High Frequency Generators
With the latest transistor technology, frequencies in the megahertz range combined with power outputs in the megawatt range can be achieved. Our current bandwidth extends up to a frequency of 2 MHz at a power output of 2 MW.

The potential applications essentially consist of resonant circuit arrangements of inductors and capacitors in parallel or series configurations. A parallel arrangement is chosen when high current is required, while a series arrangement allows for high voltages.

Application Examples:

High-Frequency Drying
High frequency drying, also known as capacitive or dielectric drying, is used in various fields for the gentle drying of materials containing water or moisture (e.g., wood, plastics, ceramics).
In high frequency drying, the required heat is not applied externally but is generated within the workpiece itself; areas with higher moisture content are heated more than areas with lower moisture content.
The workpiece to be dried is positioned between two metallic plates, which electrically form a capacitor, and exposed to a high-frequency alternating field.

Heating of Technical Gases
For an European aerospace company we developed a high-power high-frequency converter which, together with the induction coil, formed the core components of a system for investigating materials under the influence of high temperatures and velocities, such as those encountered during atmospheric entry.
