Abstract
Induction heating is an efficient and high-performance heating method which already has a significant market penetration and economic impact due to its benefits inherent to contactless energy transfer systems such as quickness, cleanness, and safety. Efficiency is a key design parameter since it determines not only the appliance performance but also its environmental impact, with significant socio-political implications. However, it is not easy to determine and compare the actual power converter efficiency operating under highly variable conditions typical of IH. This paper proposes an averaged efficiency parameter elaborated based on technical and typical IH usage conditions that offers a useful value to compare power converters operating under realistic operation conditions. The proposed parameter has been evaluated in some of the most significant power converter topologies used in reported state-of-the-art induction heating systems.
感应加热是一种高效、高性能的加热方法,由于其具有非接触式能量传输系统所固有的优点,如快速、清洁和安全,因此已经在市场上具有很大的渗透力和经济影响力。效率是一个关键的设计参数,因为它不仅决定了设备的性能,还决定了设备对环境的影响,具有重要的社会政治意义。然而,要确定和比较在典型的 IH 高变化条件下运行的实际功率转换器效率并不容易。本文提出了一个基于技术和典型 IH 使用条件的平均效率参数,为比较在实际运行条件下运行的功率转换器提供了一个有用的值。所提出的参数已在报告的最先进感应加热系统中使用的一些最重要的功率转换器拓扑结构中进行了评估。
期刊介绍:
The aim of the International Journal of Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics is to contribute to intersciences coupling applied electromagnetics, mechanics and materials. The journal also intends to stimulate the further development of current technology in industry. The main subjects covered by the journal are:
Physics and mechanics of electromagnetic materials and devices
Computational electromagnetics in materials and devices
Applications of electromagnetic fields and materials
The three interrelated key subjects – electromagnetics, mechanics and materials - include the following aspects: electromagnetic NDE, electromagnetic machines and devices, electromagnetic materials and structures, electromagnetic fluids, magnetoelastic effects and magnetosolid mechanics, magnetic levitations, electromagnetic propulsion, bioelectromagnetics, and inverse problems in electromagnetics.
The editorial policy is to combine information and experience from both the latest high technology fields and as well as the well-established technologies within applied electromagnetics.
