The principle behind induction heating is based on eddy currents induced in the material being heated by a varying magnetic field. This technology has a wide range of applications, from industrial heating and welding to home appliances such as induction cooktops.
Designing an efficient and effective induction heating system requires a deep understanding of the factors that influence the behavior of eddy currents. These factors include the geometry of the material being heated, the material's electrical and magnetic properties, the frequency and amplitude of the magnetic field, and the temperature of the material.
To accurately control the eddy current in an induction heating system, our designers use FEA simulation and electromagnetic simulation software to analyze and optimize the system design. By simulating the behavior of the electromagnetic field and eddy currents in the material, our engineers can optimize the coil geometry, material selection, and operating frequency to achieve the desired heating profile and efficiency.
In addition to industrial heating and welding applications, induction heating technology is increasingly being used in home appliances such as induction cooktops. Induction cooktops use a magnetic field to heat the cooking vessel directly, resulting in faster heating times, greater energy efficiency, and precise temperature control.
