Abstract

A classical optimisation method is used to design the inductor form of an induction heating system. The inductor generates a desired magnetic field at the surface of a metallic load.

The finite element method is then used to solve the heat transfer equation and define the state equations binding the temperature distribution inside the load and the current in the inductor. From the state equations is calculated the inductor current which leads to a homogeneous temperature field in the load.
