How Induction Heating Works for Vessels
Induction vessel heating is the superior solution for heating liquids in a controlled environment. Our induction heating equipment heats the entire surface of your vessel or tank, which then transfers the heat to the liquid medium inside. This means that the power density of that interface can be substantially lower, eliminating localized boiling and other effects.
Induction vessel heating offers the following advantages:
- No physical contact between induction coil and heated vessel wall
- Rapid start-up and shut-down, with no thermal inertia
- Low heat loss
- High energy input ideal for automatic or micro-processor control
- Pollution-free uniform heating
- User-friendly design
- Consistent product quality
Choosing the Right Vessel Heating System
At Interpower Induction, our heaters are designed to suit the precise requirements of the process and are constructed for quick fitting onto the vessel either in our workshop or on-site.
Induction heating coil designs are available to suit metallic vessels and tanks of most forms and shapes in current use. Our heating systems can be used to heat:
- Mild steel vessels
- Clad mild steel vessels
- Solid stainless steel vessels
- Non-ferrous vessels
Generally, a minimum wall thickness of 6mm is recommended. Our unit rating designs range from 1KW to 1500KW. With induction heating systems, there is no limit on power density input. Any limitation that exists is imposed by the maximum heat absorption capacity of the product, process, or metallurgical characteristics of the vessel wall material.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of vessels can be heated by induction?
Our induction heating equipment can be used to heat reactors and kettles, autoclaves, process vessels, storage and settling tanks, baths, vats and still pots, pressure vessels, vaporizers and superheaters, heat exchangers, rotary drums, pipes, and dual fuel heated vessels.
Can your induction vessel heating equipment handle vaporizing or superheating?
Yes. Our induction heating equipment can achieve instant steam raising and low and high temperatures/pressure. It can heat vessels up to 1472 F.
Do you offer induction heating equipment repair services?
Yes. In addition to the induction heating system and parts we supply, Interpower Induction also offers repair services for your induction heating equipment, including coil repair.
