Abstract

In some applications, travelling wave induction heating (TWIH) could make this kind of heating more profitable in comparison with other known systems. In this paper a three-dimensional single-coil model of transverse flux induction heating inductors (TFIH) and TWIH has been simulated by ANSYS. The different eddy current densities in the metal strip also have been analyzed when the circle loop lies in the internal or external of the projector.
