Tushar M. Patil, Umesh S. Bhadade

Abstract: In this paper we proposed the method to heat the fluid using induction heating (IH) instantly. Different methods for fluid heating are discussed. Other parameters required to heat the fluid for various methods are also observed and compared with respect to time, power, efficiency, cost, etc. Two types of load coil using mild steel and stainless steel are fabricated. These load coils will carry the fluid (water in this case) which is to be heated. Electrical power of 1308 watt is applied to the IH circuit. The flow of water is varied between 0.5Lpm to 3Lpm. The experimental results show that the heat absorbed by water using this application is 1.20C to 110C more than traditional systems. According to survey this application can be very useful at bathrooms, kitchens, hospitals, hotels, industries and many more.
