Abstract :
Induction heating is an effective method for metal heating. One of the unique applications of induction heating, there is a superheated steam generator. We propose a novel superheated steamer having both advantages for cooling of induction coil and for warming of water in advance. In the paper, the structure and behavior of proposed steamer driven by high frequency inverter are described, and its usefulness is proved.
