The research of heating efficiency of different induction heating systems

Abstract

Computer models of tape and coil inductors are described, and a comparison of the heating efficiency depending on various parameters is made. The developed computer model was made in the ELCUT 6.0. As a result of the simulation, data on the heating characteristics (depending on the various parameters of the heating elements) are obtained. The average statistical data of a series of experiments with a tape inductor are given. It is shown that for the same parameters (values of inductance and number of wires), the tape version inductor heats up a pipe to a higher temperature (by 5.08%) than the inductor in the coil version in 10 minutes.
