This paper presents potential approaches that increase the energy efficiency of an in-line induction heating system for forging of an automotive crankshaft. Both heat loss reduction and optimization of process parameters are proposed scientifically in order to minimize the energy consumption and the temperature deviation in the workpiece. We applied the numerical multiobjective optimization method in conjunction with the design of experiment (DOE), mathematical approximation with metamodel, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (GA), and engineering data mining. The results show that using the insulating covers reduces heat by an amount equivalent to 9% of the energy stored in the heated workpiece, and approximately 5.8% of the energy can be saved by process parameter optimization.

This publication discusses the task of developing an induction heating system for billets made of aluminum alloy with a given limit on the permissible temperature deviation. The purpose of the work is to determine the parameters of the inductor sections and the settings of the control system to achieve a given distribution of the billet before being fed under the press. The complexity of the problem is associated with the presence of several heater sections that differ in length from the workpieces, which leads to an additional factor leading to an increase in the unevenness in the distribution of temperature in the load. The model of the electromagnetic process is built taking into account the change in resistivity in the workpieces. When searching for a more efficient calculation algorithm, a joint solution to the thermal and electromagnetic problems is considered, which allows to simplify the procedure for exchanging data between applications. This approach is very convenient for solving problems that are not connected with harsh conditions with the achievement of the final state. When modeling thermal processes, the formulation of the problem takes into account all the features associated with radiant heat transfer between extended surfaces having different temperatures, temperature dependences of the workpiece parameters, a varying heat release region due to displacement. As options for a heating system, software control and a multichannel system with control correction for temperature control at one point are considered. When simulating a multi-channel heating control system, built-in software functions were used that made it possible to form control actions for each channel and recommend the location of temperature sensors providing high-quality control of heating.

The induction heating process at a domestic level is getting attention nowadays as this power converting topology ensures clean, reliable, flexible, and fast operation. The low input frequency is converted to required regulated high output frequency with indirect and direct power converting approaches. The circuit and control complexity and high conversion losses associated with indirect power converting approaches lower their uses for domestic induction systems. The direct ac-ac power conversion approach is one of the viable solutions for low and medium power level loads, especially for domestic induction heating loads. The circuit complexity, cost, and conversion losses of the direct power converting systems depend on the number of the controlled switching devices as each controlled switch requires one gate driving circuit and one isolated dc supply. Simplified pulse width modulation (PWM) switching control also lower their control effort. Therefore, in this article, a simplified direct ac-ac power converting approach is introduced for a high-frequency domestic induction heating system. Here, the regulation of the high output frequency is achieved by simply cascading the single-phase full-bridge rectifier with a full-bridge inverter with a simple control strategy. The characteristics of the developed topology are validated through simulation results of the Simulink-based platform and practical results of the developed practical setup.

Induction heating is frequently used in the metalworking industry to heat metals for hardening, soldering, brazing, tempering and annealing. Due to its complexity, the using of simulation to analyze the induction heating process could become very advantageous both in design and economic aspects. In this paper, an analytical model is established using commercial package Cedrat Flux® 10.3, and the model is verified by the experiments. After the establishment of analytical model, an analysis on the effect of workpiece magnetic permeability to the modeling was conducted.

In this work, the dimensions of a furnace for melting of ferrous alloys were determined. The furnace has an electromagnetic induction heating system. In addition, the parameters of electrical power supply such as frequency and power were calculated. A 5kg cast steel mass with a density of 7.81 kg / dm3 was proposed. This corresponds to a crucible volume of 0.641 dm3. The frequency was obtained from tables, which take into account the diameter of the crucible, and its value was 1 KHz. The energy consumption was determined with the heat required to bring the steel to the temperature of 1740 K, the energy losses through the walls, bottom and top of the crucible. This value was divided between the heating time (30 minutes) and resulted in a power of 4.5 KW. The development of the calculations shows that the induction heating is an efficient process and allows a fast melting of ferrous alloys.

One optimization method of hourly heat load calculation model for heat storage air-conditioning heating system in different climate zones was proposed. A building model is initially built in six different climate zones. Subsequently, the hourly heat load and steady-state design heat load in different climate zones were analyzed. Simultaneously, the hourly heat load additional coefficient of the air-conditioning system with different heating modes on a typical day was compared. It can be found that steady-state design heat load on a typical day is mostly between the peak load and average load of the air-conditioning heating system. Simultaneously, results indicate that the hourly heat load additional coefficient in each climate zone can be fitted to different exponential functions. When the heat storage capacity of building components was changed, the maximum increase of the hourly heat load additional coefficient of the air-conditioning system with intermittent heating was 5%. Thus, the research of the optimal design of hourly heat load calculation method provides a relative reference for performance improvement of the heat storage air-conditioning heating system.

To improve recycling quality, it is necessary to develop a demolition technology that can be combined with existing crushing methods that employ large shredding-efficient equipment. The efficient collection of bones in a segmentation dismantling method must be considered according to the procedure. Furthermore, there is a need for the development of partial dismantling technologies that enable efficient remodeling, maintenance, and reinforcement. In this study, we experimentally investigated the temperature-rise characteristics of reinforced concrete through partial rapid heating during high-frequency induced heating. Accordingly, the chemical and physical vulnerability characteristics of the reinforced concrete were verified by studying the thermal conduction on the surface of the rebars and the cracks caused by the thermal expansion pressure of the rebars. Furthermore, we aimed to verify the applicability of the proposed technology by specifying the vulnerability range of the reinforced concrete based on the heating range, as well as the appropriate energy consumption. We investigated the temperature rise and temperature distribution characteristics of the rebar surfaces based on diameter, length, bar placement conditions, heating distance, heating coil location, and output, using reinforced steel of grade SD345. Maximum powers of 5, 6, and 10 kW, and inductive heating were used to achieve satisfactory results.
