Abstract

To appropriately adjust the reaction temperature of an object to be processed while causing the object to be processed to efficiently absorb microwaves introduced into a casing without causing loss.SOLUTION: A housing 2 of a microwave reaction device 1 is composed of a top surface body 3, a circumferential side surface body 4, and a bottom surface body 5. The circumferential side surface body 4 has a plurality of side bodies formed on a bottom surface body 5 in a polygonal shape in a plan view, and introduces microwaves into the housing 2 from a waveguide 7 connected to at least one side surface body 41 of the respective side surface bodies, and diffuses the microwaves by a fan antenna 8 provided on the side surface body 44 at a position not facing the side surface body 41. A heat exchanger 12 is installed below the bottom surface body 5, and, through the bottom surface body 5, heat is radiated into the casing 2 or lowered to control internal temperature of the casing 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
