Title: Radio frequency heating and ventilating electrode system

Abstract: A radio frequency heating and ventilating electrode system for treating an extended length of rod-like, electrically non-conducting material, comprising a plurality of electrically conductive hollow closed loop electrode elements, each having inwardly directed apertures therethrough, forming two series of electrode elements arranged alternately with one another along a common axis, a hollow, electrically conductive support member electrically connected to each of the two series of electrode elements, providing fluid communication thereinto, and fluid supply means connected to the support members for providing fluid flow thereto, said conductive support members being connected to a radio frequency generator to provide different polarity outputs on the two series of electrode elements for heating and ventilating rod-like, electrically non-conducting material positioned therein.
