AMAYA, Iván  y  CORREA, Rodrigo. ELECTROMAGNETIC HEATING AS A WAY OF CUTTING COSTS WHILE SAVING ENERGY: TIME EVOLUTION. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2012, vol.11, n.20, pp.215-226. ISSN 1692-3324.

In this review article, an electromagnetic heating time evolution is presented, stating a brief description of the main applications in some of the top fields regarding this technology and striving to indicate fields for further research in an area that becomes more important with each passing day. It was found that the food industry and that plasma related products are the most important branches of this technology, where a vast majority has focused on microwaves instead of using radiofrequency. Some other areas are also discussed and at the end possible future researches are outlined, such as a mixed heating dryer and a sulfur lamp.

Palabras clave : Ceramics industry; chemistry; electromagnetic heating; microwave power transmission; plasma applications.
