In ferromagnetic materials like iron, heat may also be generated by magnetic hysteresis losses. The optimum frequency of current used depends on the object size, material type, coupling between the coil and the object to be heated and the desired penetration depth of the induction of eddy currents in the object. An important feature of induction heating is that the heat is generated inside the object itself and is not limited by heat conductivity. Thus, objects Figure 1: Influence of frequency on penetration depth can be heated very rapidly. This qualifies in different materials [3].

To prevent problems arising from the presence of particulate matter in the fluid flow region, pure grade 2 titanium (Ti) R50400 was used in the wafer cleaning equipment for heating objects via induction. The Ti load was designed and manufactured with a specific shape, along with the resonant network, to efficiently generate high-temperature steam by increasing the residence time of the fluid in the heating object. The IH performance of various shapes of heating objects made of Ti was analyzed and the results were compared. In addition, the heat capacity required to generate SHS was mathematically calculated and analyzed. The SHS heating performance was verified by conducting experiments using the designed 2.2 kW wafer cleaning equipment.

The analytical analysis method is based on the construction of the equivalent circuit of the cooker in which the circuit parameters are calculated from the geometries in a very simple way. By using the analysis method of equivalent circuit, the numerous combinations of primary winding coils for the specific rated power are obtained in fast computation time for a given secondary conductor. Through the calculation procedures, the optimal number of turns and their optimal positions can be obtained with which the cooker provides the highest efficiency at the rated power.

It is becoming very popular in recent applications. Wireless transmission is useful in cases where interconnecting wires are difficult, hazardous, or non-existent. Wireless power transfer is becoming popular for induction heating, charging of consumer electronics (electric toothbrush, charger), biomedical implants, radio frequency identification (RFID), contact-less smart cards, and even for transmission of electrical energy from space to earth. In the design of the coils, the parameters of coils are obtained by using the basic calculations and measurements.

Abstract: In the design of a parallel resonant induction heating system, choosing a proper capacitance for the resonant circuit is quite important. The capacitance a®ects the resonant frequency, output power, Q-factor, heating e±ciency and power factor. In this paper, the important role of equivalent series resistance (ESR) in the choice of capacitance is recognized. Without the e®ort of reducing temperature rise of the capacitor, the life time of capacitor tends to decrease rapidly. This paper, therefore, presents a method of ¯nding an optimal value of the capacitor under voltage constraint for maximizing the output power of an induction heater, while minimizing the power loss of the capacitor at the same time. Based on the equivalent circuit model of an induction heating system, the output power, and the capacitor losses are calculated. The voltage constraint comes from the voltage ratings of the capacitor bank and the switching devices of the inverter. The e®ectiveness of the proposed method is veri¯ed by simulations and experiments. Keywords: Induction heating, Equivalent series resistance, Design 1.

The CRO-SM1 is a type of collector resonance oscillator circuit which will automatically drive low impedance reactive circuits at their resonant frequency. This is ideal for making a DIY Induction Heater or Solid State Tesla Coil. It is designed to drive a parallel LC circuit (a coil and capacitor connected in parallel). It can be connected in numerous configurations and is also able to work with loads that have a centre tapped coil. The circuit will automatically drive at resonance even if the resonant frequency changes such as when a metal object is placed inside an induction heater. The circuit is designed to work with a wide range of parallel LC (inductor capacitor) circuits which have a relatively low inductance and a large capacitance. For example an induction heater with a few turns on the coil and a large capacitor bank. While this circuit has been designed to be as versatile as possible, there may be certain LC combinations that will not be driven to resonance by the circuit.

  • Induction Heating Work Coils
    Induction Heating Work Coils The work coil, also known as the inductor, is the component in the induction heating system that defines how effective and how efficiently the work piece is heated. Work coils range in complexity from a simple helical (or solenoid) wound coil consisting of a number of turns of copper tube wound around a mandrel to a coil precision machined from solid copper and brazed together. The work coil is used to transfer the energy from the induction heating power supply and workhead to the work piece by generating an alternating electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field generates a current that flows in the work piece as a mirror image to the current flowing in the work coil. As the current flows through the resistivity of the work piece it generates the heat within the work piece from I²R losses. A second heating principle, hysteretic heating is also in effect when the work piece is a magnetic material such as carbon steel. Energy is generated within the work piece by the alternating magnetic field changing the magnetic polarity within the work piece. Hysteretic heating occurs in the work piece only up to the Curie temperature (750° C for steel) when the material’s magnetic permeability decreases to 1. Work Coil Basics A current flowing in a conductor creates a magnetic field. An alternating current creates an alternating field which produces an alternating current in a second conductor (the work piece). The current in the work piece is proportional to the field strength. The transformer effect where the amount of current induced in the work piece is proportional to the number of turns on the coil and is generated as a mirror image of the work coil.
