Curing Material on an Aluminum Mandrel
Objective Heat a customer supplied aluminum cylinder to 80-120°C for a material curing application. More heating application notes
Objective
A client needed to heat an Inconel tube in order to heat gases. Induction heating can be a good option for heating fluids transported in tubes or pipes, so this was a great application to send to THE LAB at Ambrell. The target temperature for this tube heating application was 1472 °F (800 °C).

Evaluation
A custom-designed multiple-turn helical coil was built to generate the required heat for the Inconel tube to heat the gases to temperature. Initial tests were conducted to optimize the power delivered to the tube using an Ambrell EKOHEAT 20 kW, 15-40 kHz induction heating system.
Solution
Laboratory evaluation confirmed the feasibility of the process for heating the customer-supplied tube to the target temperature with an Ambrell EKOHEAT solid state induction power supply.
THE LAB at Ambrell has considerable experience with tube heating applications to heat gases and fluids, which enabled them to deliver a solution that met the client's requirements. To learn more about free application testing, visit our page about THE LAB to get the process started.
