Note: Heating magnetic iron oxide in water (hyperthermia)

Objective:

Heating magnetic iron oxide (Fe2O3) in water for hyperthermia application to determine the curve of temperature vs. time during induction heating

End Product:

Fe2O3 in water solution

Equipment:

Ambrell 2 kW induction heating system, equipped with a remote workhead containing two 0.33 μF capacitors for a total of 0.66 μF
An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application

Materials:

Magnetic iron oxide in water (magnetic field is 50-200 kHz, 30 kA/m), glass vial

Temperature:

Varies

Frequency:

344 kHz

Testing:

A two turn helical coil is used to heat the glass vial. The temperature vs. time results are:
• 66 - 107 °F (19 - 42 °C) in 10 seconds
• 66 - 145 °F (19 - 63 °C) in 20 seconds
• 66 - 170 °F (19 - 77 °C) in 30 seconds

Benefits:

  • Rapid & localized heating

  • Uniform controllable heat

  • Small bench top footprint

  • Even distribution of heating
