INDUCTION HEATING WORKCOIL

摘要

An induction heating workcoil has a ferrite core on which are wound multiple layers of an electrically conductive material. To cool the winding, solid thermal conductors are inserted between the multiple layers of the winding to provide a thermal interface with the multiple layers. The workcoil can also have a hollow tube that is wound on the outside of the winding with the tube having a liquid circulating through it to cool the winding. The core can have a cross-shaped top and an I-shaped leg with the multiple layers of the winding wound on the leg of the core. The solid thermal conductors can extend above the height of the windings so that the heat to be dissipated is transferred to the upper portion of the workcoil. The multiple layers of the winding are tightly wound on the solid thermal conductors to maximize the thermal interface.
