This technology is used for melting metal in foundries or recycling plants, and for specific heat treating of metal parts, like the gear example above. Induction processes are so advanced over other metal heating methods that many current applications would be impossible without it. The heat goes exactly where it is needed, leading to very precise control. The teeth on gears can be heated without having to heat the entire gear. The process is also much faster than other heating methods.
Most metals become extremely hot in seconds instead of minutes or hours in a typical furnace.
Heat treats metal by magnetic fields Concentrates heat where needed Zero emissions Dramatically lowers energy use and boosts quality and speed. The heat pump water heater applies the same principle as the geothermal heat pump to water heating. The unit is essentially a small air conditioner that takes heat out of the space and puts it into the hot water tank. Besides dramatically reducing the energy required to heat your water, the unit also provides free localized cooling of the adjacent area. Larger commercial units can be ducted right into the existing ventilation system to reduce the load on the primary AC system.
