An induction heating (IH) resonant converter, as well as its coil design method, is proposed in this study to improve the heat capability of low- and high-resistance IH vessels. Conventional IH resonant converters have been designed only for heating high-resistance containers designed for IH application. Thus, the primary current in the resonant tank becomes extremely high to transfer the rated power when the converter heats the low-resistance vessel. As a result, the rated power cannot be transferred due to overcurrent flows against the rated switch current. Hence, the optimal number of coil turns and proper operating frequency to heat high- and low-resistance vessels are proposed in this study by analyzing an IH load model. Simulation and experimental results using a 2.4 kW prototype resonant converter and its IH coil validate the proposed design.

In this study, microstructure, hardening layer hardness, and case depth were evaluated after induction hardening(IH) of base metal specimen(BM) treated with annealing and quenching-tempering specimen(QT) treated with quenching and tempering. The microstructure after IH was significantly influenced by the microstructure before IH and the induction coil heating movement speed, but the effect of the induction frequency was very small. The hardness of the hardened layer at an induction coil heating movement speed of 15 mm/s or less was more influenced by the microstructure before IH than the induction coil travel speed and induction frequency. The induction coil travel speed has the significantly effect on the case depth, the induction frequency has effect and the microstructure before IH has a small effect.

In this paper, an all-metal domestic induction heating (IH) system that can quickly identify ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic pots considering temperature changes in the working coil is designed. Load modeling is performed after analyzing the parameters of the pot material and the central misalignment of the working coil. To improve the performance and stability of the all-metal IH cooking heater, a power curve-fitting model is used to design a control system that quickly responds to load parameter fluctuations. In addition, a power control algorithm is established to compensate for the reference value by reflecting the increase in working coil temperature during heating of the non-ferromagnetic pot. The validity of the proposed control algorithm for the all-metal IH is verified by experiments using a 3.2 kW all-metal IH cooking heater.

본 논문은 직렬 공진형 컨버터를 이용하여 낮은 저항을 갖는 주방 용기를 가열하기 위한 유도 가열(Induction Heating; IH)용 공진형 컨버터와 코일 설계방법을 제안한다. 기존 IH 시스템은 저항이 작은 용기를 가열할 때 낮은 전압이득으로 인해 정격보다 큰 전류가 흘러 스위칭 손실 및 전도 손실이 증가하고 소자의 정격 전류량을 초과하는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 용기에 따른 임피던스를 분석하고 다양한 저항 조건의 용기를 모두 가열하기 위한 적절한 IH용 코일 설계 방법을 제안한다. 이는 2.4 kW의 최대 전력을 가지는 IH용 공진형 컨버터 시작품을 사용하여 제안하는 설계의 타당성을 검증하고자한다.

This paper proposes a procedure for designing a resonant network for induction cookers that enables the induction heating of magnetic and non-magnetic vessels. In order to design such network, the range of operating frequency must be determined according to the material of the vessels by measuring several parameters, such as equivalent resistance and inductance, which are reflected in the working coil of the vessels. Through this process, the capacitance of the resonant capacitor is determined. The PSIM simulation and experiment results verify the feasibility of the proposed design and the heating performance of the designed resonant network.
