The Induction Range: Its Performance and Its Development Problems

Control Analysis of a High Frequency Resonant Inverter for Induction Cooking Application

“…For a fixed geometry and switching frequency, the selection of utensil material must be proper to obtain efficient heating. The surface resistance (R s ) offered by these materials can be empirically given by (1) [6,15].…”

“…Lower limit is set by the acoustic noise generated in the supply and the utensils at the fundamental and the second harmonic to 20 kHz [6,7]. Upper limit is decided by the problems posed on power semiconductor switches and their performance at the higher frequency owing to dissipation of heat generated in them.…”

Polymer bonding by induction heating for microfluidic applications

“…is a very interesting application as well [82]. Polymer laminated aluminium foil is pressed onto the neck of a plastic container and heated inductively by flat helix coils above the setup.…”

Are Korean Households Willing to Pay a Premium for Induction Cooktops over Gas Stoves?

“…However, as the convenience and safety of induction cooktops are becoming more widely known, domestic induction cooktops are expanding their market share. A number of studies have shown that induction cooktops give better performance in terms of thermal efficiency [1], emit fewer air pollutants, and greatly enhance public convenience compared to gas stoves [2][3][4][5]. Induction cooktops have therefore been bought for both existing apartments, where they replace gas stoves, and newly built apartments in Korea.…”

“…Therefore, information is needed about the convenience and safety benefits of induction cooktops over gas stoves so that policymakers can more accurately predict the demand for electricity. There are some studies in the literature that evaluate the efficiency and safety features of induction cooktops and gas stoves [1][2][3][4][5]11,13,14]. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, there has been little investigation into the convenience and safety benefits of domestic induction cooktops.…”
