摘要:
Systems, devices, and methods for heating an inside wall of a pipe or a vessel. In one example, a system is for heating an inside wall of a pipe, a vessel, or some combination thereof. The system includes a movable mechanical device configured to be positioned at least partially within the pipe, the vessel, or some combination thereof. The movable mechanical device is configured to be moved using control circuitry. The system also includes a heating device coupled to the movable mechanical device and configured to be positioned at least partially within the pipe, the vessel, or some combination thereof. The heating device is also configured to heat the inside wall of the pipe, the vessel, or some combination thereof.
摘要:
An induction heating system includes a power source and an induction head. The converter output is at a voltage that is not greater than the voltage applied to the coil. The induction head includes a housing that houses a conductive coil disposed to induce heat in a workpiece and the coil is wound to be tuned to the output power. The coil is wound in a stacked spiral pattern with at least two turns in each layer. A flux concentrator is disposed about the coil with a potting compound around the concentrator and coil. Spacers maintain a desired separation between the head and the workpiece. The coil is a tube carrying a coolant. The head includes a wear surface that prevents contact of the coil and the workpiece, and a thermal insulator between the coil and wear surface. A non-contact temperature sensor is mounted to the housing.
