Abstract
Constant temperature regulation of a hybrid heater which is composed of a temperature sensitive ferrite with low permeability and a Cu tube is investigated for hyperthermia. The temperature sensitive ferrite is inserted into a Cu tube and its length and diameter are 10 mm and 3 mm. Below B=0.05 T, the measured temperature and the calculated one increased with the ratio of $B^{1/2}$ and agreed well with each other. Above B=0.05 T, the measured temperatures maintained constantly almost $50^{\circ}C{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$ because of the influence of Curie temperature of the temperature sensitive ferrite. This result shows that the hybrid heater is able to regulate the temperature constantly at the rate of $50^{\circ}C{\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$.
