Induction Heating Process Design Using COMSOL® Multiphysics Software
Abstract: Induction heating is
clean environmental heating process due to a non-contact heating process. There
is lots of the induction heating type that be used in the home appliance but it
is still new technology in Indonesia. The main interesting area of the
induction heating design is the efficiency of the usage of energy and choice of
the plate material. COMSOL® Multiphysics Software can be used to simulate and
estimate the induction heating process. Therefore, the software can be used to
design the induction heating process that will have a optimum efficiency. The
properties of the induction heating design were also simulated and analyzed
such as effect of inductor’s width, inductor’s distance, and conductive plate material.
The result was shown that the good design of induction heating must have a
short width and distance inductor and used silicon carbide as material plate
with high frequency controller.
