This paper describes fundamental characteristics of high frequency induction heating applied for Marine Fuel Oil (MFO) recovery system. The system is analyzed for an induction-heating load, related to operating frequency and input power. Frequency domain characteristics of load equivalent circuit parameters in induction heating are investigated to clarify an effective circuit design of the high...

Induction Heating system utilizes electricity for the generation of heat, whereas solar energy is largely available energy source for generation of heat. Combining solar energy with induction heat generation technique is the efficient solution for the heat generation application. The proposed system presents an effective control scheme incorporated in half bridge series resonance induction heat...

7 The heating uniformity of the cooking vessels in domestic stoves depends on the type of heat source (induction, electric resistance, 8 gas burner...) and of the way in which the power is transferred to the pan. The evaluation of the stoves functionalities is currently 9 carried out by the manufacturers with costly experimental tests with real food, which are an important phase of the design p...

Industrial induction heating processes can contribute to the European Union (EU) energy saving goal of 20 percent before 2020. Induction manufacturers already propose many efficient solutions available at industrial scale. To improve induction devices for better energy efficiency, EDF R&D set up a French collaborative project called Innovative Solutions for Induction Systems (ISIS) with the fin...

This paper reports on the design of novel reactor for low-temperature growth of Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes (VACNTs). Two mechanisms for selective heating catalytic nanoparticles were investigated: (i) a heating from exothermic reaction of catalytic oxidation and (ii) an induction heating. The requirements for efficient induction heating catalytic particles of size varying from micron t...

This paper examines a scheme for developing frequency selectable induction heating targets for stimulating temperature sensitive polymer actuators. “Frequency selectable” implies that each target has a frequency at which it heats preferentially compared to other remaining targets. Single-turn conductors whose critical dimensions are small compared to their associated skin depth (over the freque...
