Research of the induction heating installation on based autoclave

This paper considers the physical experiments of a laboratory induction heating plant with various forms of billet. The obtained results of numerical simulation are verified with the help of a physical experiment. The main method of obtaining physical thermal and electromagnetic characteristics is the finite element method implemented in the computer environment of Comsol Multiphysics. The magnetic problem is solved in a quasistatic formulation. Thermal processes are analyzed in stationary and dynamic modes. The major purpose of the paper is research of energy and technology feature for different form of charge. The main conclusions are given on the possibility of improving the energy parameters depending on the technology.
