Induction heating appliance with a mobile double-coil inductor

Sanz, Fernando ; Sagüés, Carlos (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Llorente, Sergio (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: An induction heating appliance designed to uniformly heat up metallic plates is studied in this paper. It consists of one planar inductor with two concentric coils attached to a mechanism, which allows moving the inductor under the plate while heating. This system is a possible solution for the growing concept of flexible induction cooking hobs, improving their performance in flexibility and in thermal distribution in the pans. With different combinations of motion and the selective activation of the inductor coils, any pan can be uniformly heated regardless its size or position on the hob. In this paper, we develop a thermal model to analyze the temperature distribution obtained in the pans for each diameter and strategy used. The model is solved using finite differences, and it is validated with experimental measurements. From the calculations, the best strategy for each pan diameter is obtained.
