The purpose of this paper is to obtain the improved reliability and optimal control of the half-bridge inverter for induction heating system. Parasitic inductance components within the inverter circuit for induction heating including the loss-less turn-off snubber capacitor considerably affect stable operation and noise level of the system. This paper analyzes the effect of the inductance in detail and presents a new snubber configuration suitable for the half-bridge inverter to effectively reduce it. In the half-bridge inverter for induction heating the capacity of the loss-less snubber capacitor determines the switching losses because the zero voltage turn-on switching is used. However, the increase of the capacitor is limited by the system specifications, so that it is not easy work to reduce the switching loss. To effectively overcome the limitation, this paper introduces an active auxiliary resonant circuit suitable for the half-bridge inverter circuit, which operates actively according to the variation of load condition. It is also one of the most important study issues for the half-bridge inverter driven induction heater that the development of optimal control scheme considering varied load condition should be achieved. The control strategy ensures a very stable operation of overall inverter system and zero voltage turn-on switching irrespective of sensitive load parameter variations, in particular, even under the non-magnetic materials.

High frequency full bridge series resonant inverters have become increasingly popular among power supply designers. One of the most important parameter for a High Frequency Full Bridge Series Resonant Inverter is optimal coil design. The optimal coil designing procedure is not a easy task. This paper deals with the New Approach to Optimal Design Procedure for a Real-time High Frequency Full Bridge Series Resonant Inverter in Induction Heating Equipment devices. A new design to experimental modelling of the physical properties and a practical power input simulation process for the non-sinusoidal input waveform is accepted. The design sensitivity analysis with Levenberg-Marquardt technique is used for the optimal design process. The proposed technique is applied to an Induction Heating Equipment devices model and the result is verified by real-time experiment. The main advantages of this design technique is to achieve more accurate temperature control with a huge amount of power saving.

콤바인 예취날은 벼 수확작업 시 벼 포기를 자르는 칼날로써 예취날이 쉽게 마모되거나 변형되면 교체비용뿐만 아니라 농번기 작업에 지장을 주게되어 작업의 효율성이 떨어지게 된다. 현재 농가에서 사용되고 있는 콤바인 예취날은 국산날과 일산날을 주로 사용하고 있는데, 농민들은 다소 가격이 비싸더라도 일산날을 선호하는 경향이 있다. 그 이유는 국산날에 비해 내구성이 길고 절단면의 예취상태가 매끄럽게 잘려지므로 벼 탈립손실도 적을 뿐만 아니라 고속작업도 가능하기 때문이다. (중략)

The semi-solid metal forming process has been applied to realize a near-net shape fabrication of a high speed tool steel. A complicatedly shaped part out of SKH51 was successfully manufactured by introducing pertinent materials, tooling and processing conditions. A SKH51 billet with globular grains was heated at temperatures between 1300 and $1350^{\circ}C$ using high frequency induction heater to get semi-solid microstructure before high rate injection of mushy metal into a die cavity for the forming process. It was necessary to control the preheating of dies between 300 and $400^{\circ}C$ to maintain the homogeneous microstructure during the semi-solid metal forming process. Significant defects such as pores, high fraction of liquid fraction and segregation could be removed from the part by using air vents.

The flow fields inside a molten Zn pot of continuous hot-chip galvanizing process were investigated experimentally. With varying several parameters including the strip speed Vs, flow rate Q of induction heater. scrapper location and baffle configuration, instantaneous velocity fields were measured using a PIV velocity field measurement technique. Inside the strip region, counter-clockwise rotating flow is dominant. The general flow pattern inside the strip region is nearly not influenced by the strip speed Vs, flow rate Q and the scrapper location. In the exit region, the flow separated from the moving strip due to the existence of a stabilizing roll ascends to the free surface, for the cases of no scrapper and scrapper detached form the roll. On the other hand, the ascending flow to the free surface is decreased, as the flow rate Q of induction heater increases. By installing a baffle around the uprising strip, the flow moving up to the stabilizing roll decreases. In addition, B-type baffle is better than A-type baffle in reducing speed of flow around the stabilizing rolls. However, the flow ascended to the free surface is largely influenced by changing the flow rate Q, and the scrapper location, irrespective of the baffle type.

In this paper, a DC smoothing filterless soft switching pulse modulated high frequency AC power conversion circuit connected to utility. frequency AC power source is proposed for consumer induction heating hot water producer, steamer and super heated steamer. The operating principle of DC link filterless utility frequency AC-high frequency AC (HF AC) power conversion circuit defined as high frequency cycloinverter is described, which can operate under a principle of ZVS/AVT and power regulation based on alternate asymmetrical PWM in synchronization with the utility frequency single phase AC positive or negative half wave voltage. The dual mode modulation control scheme based on high frequency PWM and commercial frequency AC voltage PDM for the proposed high frequency cycloinverter are discussed to enlarge its soft switching commutation operating range for wide HF AC power regulation. This high frequency cycloinverter is developed for high frequency IH Dual Packs Heater (DPH) type boiler used in consumer and industrial fluid pipeline systems. Based on the experiment and simulation results, this high frequency cycloinverter is proved to be suitable for the consumer use IH-DPH boiler and hot water producers. The cycloinverter power regulation and power conversion efficiency characteristics are evaluated and discussed.

The structures of induction heating type pressure rice cooker are consisted of oven. top heater plate and locking ring. Because the pressure is applied to their structures, those should be necessary to do the safety evaluation. In this paper, structure analysis is performed for oven structures by using finite element method and as a results, optimal thickness is achieved. Especially, analysis fur anisotropic layered material is performed because oven is made of both stainless steel and aluminum. And both von Mises and Tsai-Wu failure criterion are applied for safety factor. Parametric method is used in order to get the optimal thickness for oven and top heater plate.

In this paper, a constant frequency phase shifting PWM-controlled voltage source full bridge-type series load resonant high-frequency inverter using the $4^{th}$ generation IGBT power modules is presented for innovative consumer electromagnetic induction heating applications, such as a hot water producer, steamer and super heated steamer. The bridge arm side link passive capacitive snubbers in parallel with each power semiconductor device and AC load side linked active edge inductive snubber-assisted series load resonant tank soft switching inverter with a constant frequency phase shifted PWM control scheme is evaluated and discussed on the basis of the simulation and experimental results. It is proved from a practical point of view that the series load resonant and edge resonant hybrid high-frequency inverter topology, what is called, DE class type, including the variable-power variable-frequency regulation function can expand zero voltage soft switching commutation area even under low output power setting ranges, which is more suitable and acceptable for newly developed induction heated dual pack fluid heaters. Furthermore, even the lower output power regulation mode of this high-frequency load resonant tank inverter circuit is verified so that this inverter can achieve ZVS with the aid of the single auxiliary inductor snubber.
