Abstract
An ohmic heating apparatus for heating flowable media which is flowing through a conduit comprises electrodes exposed to the flowing media and supply means connected to the electrodes and to the media to pass a heating current through the flowable media. The electrodes are made of a material of closed microporosity having a resistance to surface fouling. The material of closed microporosity is preferably made of vitreous carbon.
