Induction Susceptor Heating

What is Induction Susceptor Heating?

Susceptor heating refers to a technique by which materials that are not electrically conductive may be heated using induction technology. Induction Susceptor Heating is done by heating an electrically conductive “susceptor” that then transfers heat to the material via conduction or radiation. The susceptor can be anything from a metallic rod inserted inside of an object, to a metallic pipe with a fluid flowing through it and this type of method can be used to heat an almost infinite variety of materials at large or small scales.

Induction Susceptor Heating delivers many distinct advantages as it is heated by an electromagnetic field, it can be placed inside a magnetically permeable container with the coil on the outside. This permits the material to be heated within a controlled atmosphere chamber with much more ease. Induction Susceptor Heating also heats up the susceptor quickly, causing shorter preheat times. Induction Susceptor Heating technology has the advantage of heating any electrically conductive material which means that there are additional options of materials for the susceptor which are especially vital in chemical processes where the susceptor must not react with the heated material. Induction Susceptor Heating technique finds applications for the processes like vaporization, gasification, cooking, steam generation, pasteurization, and more and is utilised in numerous industries like chemical production, food & beverage processing, biomass processing, glass, plastic, electronics, rubber, etc.
