  Theory of Dielectric Heating
The theory of Dielectric Heating is based on the fact that disturbed water molecules cause friction, and therefore, create HEAT.
The disturbance is caused by very high frequency cycle change (twenty seven million times per second), which moves the water molecules of glue at such a tempo that the friction generates heat, and the glue bond is complete.
Because of the heat generated in the glue line, we recommend pre-catalyzed glue, which achieves faster and stronger results (i.e.

  Dielectric heating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dielectric heating is the phenomenon in which radiowave or microwave electromagnetic radiation heats a dielectric material, especially as caused by dipole rotation.
Since current flow implies that the material is not an electrical insulator this is rarely considered true dielectric heating.
Dipole rotation is the mechanism normally referred to as dielectric heating, and is most widely observable in the microwave oven where it operates most efficiently on liquid water, and much less so on fats, sugars, and frozen water.

A dielectric, or electrical insulator, is a substance that is highly resistant to flow of electric current.
Dielectrics are more resistant to ionization than air, so a capacitor containing a dielectric can be subjected to a higher voltage.
Considered in reverse, this argument means that, with a dielectric, a given electric potential causes the capacitor to accumulate a larger charge.

 Starch Adhesive
Clearly the rate of heating and drying the wet material depends to a great extent on its moisture content and its distribution within the material, especially since many materials which have to be dried are good thermal insulators, as the water conducts most of the heat.
Dielectric heating is a process in which heat is generated within a dielectric material by application of high-frequency electrical energy.
This is what differentiates dielectric heating from conventional steam heated hot plates, wherein the heat must flow inward from the surfaces and the rate of flow is retarded by the usually low thermal conductivity paper.

 Radio Frequency
The material to be heated is conveyed between the electrodes where the alternating energy causes polar molecules in the material to continuously reorient themselves to face opposite poles much like the way bar magnets behave in an alternating magnetic field.
The amount of heat generated in the product is determined by the frequency, the square of the applied voltage, dimensions of the product and the dielectric loss factor of the material which is essentially a measure of the ease with which the material can be heated by radio frequency waves.
From the above formula, if we assume the dielectric loss factor, frequency, and treatment time were constant throughout the product being pasteurized then we can assume that the variability in heating experienced throughout the bulk nuts at microwave frequencies was attributable to variations in electric field intensity.

 Radio Frequency Dielectric Heating of Alfalfa Seed for Reduction of Human Pathogens   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Radio frequency and microwave dielectric heating treatments were earlier found effective for increasing the germination of alfalfa seed lots that contain percentages of hard seed, i.e., seed with naturally impermeable seed coats that protect the seed, but also prevent the entrance of moisture needed for germination.
Therefore, research was conducted to determine whether such dielectric heating treatments might be useful in reducing bacterial populations on alfalfa seed.
Thus, dielectric heating treatments that produce moderate reductions in bacterial populations and improve sprout yield might be considered for application, but are not likely to provide the desired control of bacteria that may contaminate alfalfa seed stocks intended for sprout production.
