| description | The energy efficiency of supplies is crucial for the energy economy. The development of new and more efficient air heaters is a relevant topic for various industrial applications. In the formulation of air heating using a novel and flexible electromechanical system that accomplishes heating air to varying temperatures, this study examines the efficacy of using induction heating as a fundamental component of air heating systems and focuses on the effective heating of moving metal parts by electromagnetic coupling, thereafter transmitting the generated heat to the experimental facilities. The study delved into an exploration of numerous factors within a closed system, encompassing aspects such as area, temperature, and energy. Using a full-bridge ZVS circuit with an inductive coil design, fan speed variations and temperature measurements were systematically carried out to investigate the impact of induction heating on temperature changes within the given experimental setups. The results of an experiment conducted in a half-cubic-meter enclosed environment reveal significant temperature fluctuations with the varying velocities of moving metal elements, presenting a maximal rate of 17.7 degrees Celsius per hour and an efficiency factor of 64.15%. With continued refinement, this innovative technology has the potential to become an energy-efficient alternative to conventional heating techniques for a variety of applications, including industrial operations and residential heating. |
