Analysis of Induction Skull Melting Furnace by Edge Finite Element Method excited from Voltage Source

摘要

To optimize the production of high-efficiency induction skull melting furnace, we analyzed magnetic flux density, eddy current and electromagnetic flux density, eddy current and electromagnetic force distributions using 3-D edge- based finite element method excited from a voltage source. Changing the number of copper rods and, therefore the distance between them, we analyzed both the intensity and direction of the electromagnetic forces and the amount of power consumed by the molten alloy and the rodes. In this paper, we present out analysis method, the obtained results and conclusions.
