T1 - Radio-frequency heating for pest control, decontamination and drying of timber and masonry N2 - A number of very relevant processes for protection and reconstruction of buildings can be supported by controlled heating: elimination of pests without using hazardous Chemicals, drying and decontamination of timber and many other building materials. For this purpose, radio-frequency (RF) dielectric heating is an advantageous Option because the materials and structures can be heated directly by energy absorption in the volume, homogeneously and, if required, relatively fast. Compared to microwaves, the penetration depths are usually much larger and the flexibility with respect to different materials is wider. Namely, heating can also be realized for dry materials because the dielectric loss is as not closely related to the presence of water as for microwave applications.

T1 - Chemikalienfreie Bekämpfung von Holzschädlingen durch dielektrische Erwärmung mit Radiowellen und Mikrowellen N2 - Die thermische Bekämpfung von Holzschädlingen erfordert wegen der geringen Wärmeleitfähigkeit von Holz lange Behandlungszeiten und kann zur Rissbildung führen. Hier wurde die thermische Behandlung mittels Radio- und Mikrowellen untersucht. Die direkte, dielektrische Erwärmung hat den Vorteil einer größeren Homogenität der Aufheizung. Die mit Radiowellen erzielten Temperaturprofile waren homogener als die mit Mikrowellen realisierten. Untersuchungen zeigten, dass die Abtötung nicht auf die direkte Einwirkung von elektromagnetischen Feldern, sondern auf die Temperaturerhöhung zurückzuführen ist.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thermal pest control requires long treatment times due to the low thermal conductivity of wood and may lead to the formation of cracks. Here, the thermal treatment with radio waves as well as microwaves has been studied. The direct dielectric heating has the advantage of a good homogeneity. The obtained temperature profiles for radio waves were more homogeneous compared to microwaves. Detailed studies showed that elimination of pests was not related to the application of the electromagnetic field itself, but due to the temperature increase.
