Induction Heating Magnetic Iron Oxideย in waterย for hyperthermia application
Objective Heating magnetic iron oxide (Fe2O3) in water for hyperthermiaย application to determine the curve of temperature vs. timeย during induction heating
Material Magnetic iron oxide in water (magnetic field is 50-200kHz,ย 30kA/m), glass vial
Temperature Varies
Frequency 344 kHz
Equipment โข DW-UHF-4.5kW induction heating system, equipped with aย remote workhead containing two 0.33ฮผF capacitors for aย total of 0.66 ฮผF
โข An induction heating coil designed and developedย specifically for this application.
Process A two turn helical coil is used to heat the glass vial. Theย temperature vs. time results are:
โข 66ยบ – 107 ยบF (19ยบ – 42 ยบC) in 10 seconds
โข 66ยบ – 145 ยบF (19ยบ – 63 ยบC) in 20 seconds
โข 66ยบ – 170 ยบF (19ยบ – 77 ยบC) in 30 seconds
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
โข Rapid & localized heating
โข Uniform controllable heat
โข Small bench top footprint
โข Even distribution of heating
