Water-cooled triode for Industrial RF Heating
130 kW triode for RF dielectric heating
machines
Based on more than 60 years of experience in the
design and manufacture of electron tubes, Thales is a
long-standing partner to most producers of industrial
heating machines. And we are the benchmark
supplier of grid tubes.
The high-power RS 3080 CJ triode, intended for
dielectric heating applications, delivers continuous RF
power of 130 kW. It is especially well suited to
industrial applications such as textile drying.
This water-cooled triode uses a coaxial design and
metal-ceramic technology. It may be operated in CW
or pulse modes. For operation in pulse mode, the
parameters depend on each equipment
characteristics. Contact us for specific information.
