Turbochef NGC-3066
KIT MAGNETRON AND WAVEGUIDE COVER (INTE
SKU: TBCNGC-3066
Condition: NEW
A magnetron is a high-powered vacuum tube that generates microwaves using the interaction of a stream of electrons with a magnetic field while moving past a series of open metal cavities (cavity resonators). Electrons pass by the openings to these cavities and cause microwaves to oscillate within. The frequency of the microwaves produced (the resonant frequency) is determined by the cavities' physical dimensions.
The magnetron serves as an oscillator, generating a microwave signal from direct current electricity supplied to the vacuum tube. The microwave radiation that the cavities produce is collected up and channeled by a kind of funnel called a waveguide into the cooking compartment of a microwave or rapid cook oven.
A waveguide is a structure that guides waves (for example, microwaves in a microwave oven or electromagnetic waves or sound waves) with minimal loss of energy by restricting the transmission of energy to one direction. Without the physical constraint of a waveguide, wave amplitudes decrease according to the inverse square law as they expand into three dimensional space.
Since 1991, TurboChef Technologies, Inc. has pioneered the world of rapid cooking. With innovation and top performance in mind, TurboChef has redefined cooking efficiency by designing rapid-cook ovens that are versatile, user-friendly, and save energy. TurboChef ovens cook faster and produce consistent results without compromising quality.
