Experimental Evaluation of Heating Water by Electromagnetic Induction

Abstract

Water heating is a common and important requirement in many industrial and domestic applications. In this work, the heating of water using electromagnetic induction is demonstrated in the laboratory through an experimental approach. In order to validate the experimental results, temperature measurements are compared to calculated values. Measured data shows very good agreement with the calculations indicating the feasibility of heating water using electromagnetic induction. This work also demonstrates a preliminary proof of concept that can be built upon to further develop the design of the induction heating system for large scale implementation.
