DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DESTROYING INSECTS AND FUNGI, DESTROYING WOOD, AND FOR PROCESSING MATERIALS, CONTAINING HARMFUL SUBSTANCES Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC H05B6/64 H05B6/68 H05B6/80 

FIELD: protection of materials, in particular, wood, objects of architectural and cultural value by processing these with microwave energy, or objects, infected with pests or containing harmful substances, as a result of which their sanitation is achieved.

SUBSTANCE: in accordance to inventions, two magnetrons G1, G2 or antennas only are mounted on object being irradiated O, directly in front of each other. Method of temporary alternation of generators control is available in device. By means of signals from thermo-measuring probes, processed by computer, and by means of signals formatting block, control device and generators G1, G2, operation mode of generators G1, G2 is precisely set to precise temperature required for object O, including temperature mode. Usage of microwaves for processing objects and items, infected with pests and/or containing harmful substances, allows achievement of controlled increase of temperature and therefore of destruction of harmful organisms and decontamination of these objects.

EFFECT: creation of device and method, providing microwave processing of wood and other materials including those in hard to access or inaccessible locations for destroying harmful organisms, located in aforementioned objects, such as insects and fungi, or for removal of harmful substances from these objects (decontamination), while achievement of even temperature profile is ensured across volume of object, and reliable destruction or reliable decontamination.
