Abstract

The heat transfer characteristics of feedthrough flange under high alternating current excitation were investigated by three-dimensional finite element model. The correlations between the heat transfer behaviors and system parameters including applied current, ceramic thickness and working time were discussed comprehensively. A remarkable absorbed power beyond 100 W in flange would be produced by the electromagnetic field from wires. Under natural cooling condition, there is an obvious temperature rise about 40°C in the flange center after 10 min of current excitation. Three types of water cooling solutions acting on flange surface, e.g. line type, circle type and S type solutions, were proposed to reduce the flange temperature under high alternating current and long working time condition. By the S type water cooling mode, the best cooling effect can be achieved that the maximum temperature rise is about 20°C and the average temperature rise is less than 5°C.
