Abstract :
The advantages and disadvantages of electric heating methods are described and compared to other common methods of process heating. Brief descriptions of many electric heating methods are given, with references for the engineer who wishes to pursue any method in depth. Common process requirements, such as drying, melting, etc., are linked to the types of electric heating that are most applicable. For those unfamiliar with many types of electric heating, a guide to areas worthy of further study is provided.
