How to make induction heaters by yourself?

Virtually every owner wants to reduce the cost of heating. For this, not only the thermal insulation of the walls is done, but even new types of boilers are being installed, which are often simply conventional AGV type heating devices. But sometimes some sellers simply "vparivayut" buyers such units under the guise of "the latest technical development." Maximum satisfaction of their needs is possible only when you do something with your own hands. And today we will consider how to make a vortex induction heater by ourselves.

Instruments

In the course of the work we will need to apply the following parts and apparatus:

1. Welding inverter (not necessarily the most expensive) with a current regulator of 10 A.
2. A piece of metal or plastic pipe up to 10 centimeters long.
3. Metal wire with 6 mm section.
4. Copper wire with a diameter of 1.5 millimeters.
5. Thermoregulator.

To learn how all of these devices can make induction heaters with their own hands, consider all the steps in more detail.

Instructions

First you need to take a steel wire and cut it into small pieces of 9-10 centimeters in length. They should be placed inside a metal or plastic pipe, which will then be closed with special adapters. When making induction heaters by one's own hands, at the top of this device it is necessary to wind the copper wire in at least 100 turns. After that, the output part of the inverter is connected to the end of this winding and with the help of a thermostat is switched on, followed by heating and heat exchange. By the way, the regulator can be installed near the supply branch pipe. Everything, at this stage the device has been successfully done.

Tip

During the work on making a homemade induction heater, connect the rectifier diodes to the output of the inverter - and nothing else. Thus, by making induction heaters by hand, you will need to solder the conductors to the rectifier diodes. Otherwise, you will not get a heater, but a simple electromagnet that simply will form a field around itself without the occurrence of thermal heating.

The whole essence of the work of such a device, as induction heaters, is as follows. As a result of the appearance of an electromagnetic field, which is directed from the inductor to the end of the wire, the device begins to gradually warm up. As a result, the temperature of the entire pipe, through which the water in the heating system passes and, accordingly, the room, will also rise. The inverter is a source of high-frequency voltage, which forms this field in a pipe near the wire cuttings. When this unit is turned on, Foucault eddy currents form in them, which leads to the heating of all the parts of the device.

So, we learned how to make induction heaters by our own hands, and figured out their principle of operation.
