The use of induction heating in reaction apparatus small tonnage production

Abstract

Abstract Currently, in the planning and further implementation of technological processes that require heating of products to operating temperatures of about 1300 C, the issue of selecting energy-efficient environmentally friendly reactors using various heating methods is an acute issue. This scientific article discusses the effective use of electric and non-electric heating methods. Recommendations on the practical application of these methods are given, based on the final product and the specific features of the technological cycle of a particular enterprise. The question of the compliance of both methods with modern international requirements for the small-tonnage chemistry devices under consideration is considered. On the example of the Scientific Production Association «Lakokraspokrytiye» the main advantages in the application of induction heating in reactors used in technological lines for the production of paints and varnishes and coatings are shown. Examples are given of devices that are currently being developed and implemented in the Scientific Production Association «Lakokraspokrytiye», their basic characteristics are described. The described small-tonnage chemistry devices are widely used in the Russian Federation, CIS countries and Eastern Europe.
