The microwave magnetron is the main element of all microwave sources, such as microwave magnetron heads. Magnetrons are divided into:
- commercial (mainly used in household appliances),
- industrial (installed in technological lines).
In smaller devices (laboratory, test, intermittent operation) it is possible to use commercial magnetrons. Industrial magnetrons are distinguished by, among others: more solid mechanical structure, better heat dissipation, longer service life.
In technological lines, magnetrons can be cooled by:
- air – used in devices that operate in an environment without pollution, with a stable ambient temperature,
- water – used wherever there is dust and high temperature.
An extremely important issue is the magnetron power supply. In most cases, MARKOM uses switched-mode power supplies. Due to their low weight and small size, they are an ideal solution for the construction of MMH series microwave heads.
