Industrial heating using energy efficient induction technology

Abstract

Abstract in UndeterminedThe demands for energy efficent heating solutions for the manufacturing industry can be met by a newinduction heating platform, presented in this article. A new concept and technology to design andmanufacture induction heating unit is presented, as well as a prototype induction heater, evaluated and testedin an industrial environment. Improvements compared to existing heating solutions can be clearly shown, e.g.higher heating efficiency, no requirement for advanced cooling, a higher geometrical flexibility and alsoenvironmental gains. The Greenheat platform is built on Litz wiring, SMC flux conductors, and a castingtechnology which is outlined in the article.
