Factors affecting the temperature increasing rate in arc-shaped bamboo pieces during high-frequency heating

In the process of applying the high-frequency heating technology to bamboo heat treatment, controlling the material temperature has a great influence on the quality of bamboo forming. Therefore, research on the heat transfer mechanism of high-frequency heating of arc-shaped bamboo pieces is of great importance. In this paper, the influence of different moisture content, chord length, and plate voltage on the heating rate of arc-shaped bamboo pieces under high-frequency electric field were studied. The moisture content of bamboo had the most remarkable effect on the heating rate. With increased moisture content, the temperature rose faster. The selection of the plate voltage had an obvious influence on the heating. If the voltage was low, the heating rate was too slow, the heating time was long, or the voltage was high, it was easy to cause electric field breakdown and damage the bamboo pieces. As the chord length decreased, the heating rate gradually increased. When the radian of the arc-shaped bamboo pieces could be ignored, the heating rate was the fastest. The results showed that under certain conditions, the arc-shaped bamboo pieces showed a good heat treatment effect in a high-frequency electric field.
