Orthogonal Design of Transverse Flux Induction Heating Equipment for Galvanizing Line

摘要

In this paper the 3D FEM studies on the induction heating of continuously moving strips in transverse magnetic flux inductors are presented. The main aim of this work is to achieve a completely uniform temperature across the entire strip width by optimising the inductor structure with orthogonal list. The 3D eddy current field and its coupled thermal field simulation are applied for developing such an equipment. The finite element method is applied in conjunction with the Galerkin method. The simplifications and boundary conditions required for an efficient solution are discussed.
