Note: Heat twelve steel tubes simultaneously
Objective:
Heat 12 steel tubes concurrently in an inert atmosphere
End Product:
Steel tubes
Equipment:
Ambrell 20 kW, induction heating system, equipped with a remote heat station containing eight 0.3 μF capacitors for a total of 0.6 μF
An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application
Materials:
Steel tubes ĂË in (12.7 mm) diameter 1/16 in (1.59 mm) wall thickness
Temperature:
2460 °F (1350 °C)
Frequency:
87 kHz
Testing:
The coil is comprised of two six-position helical coils connected together in parallel to reduce the voltage requirements on the power supply. The coil provides very
efficient heating which reduces cycle time and the conducted heat along the steel tubes. It takes 20 seconds to reach desired temperature.
Benefits:
-
Consistent, repeatable heating
-
Reduced cycle time by heating twelve tubes at once
-
Induction heating is the only method available to heat in an inert atmosphere
