Abstrakt: In this paper, Finite Element Method (FEM) has been used for analyzing and modeling the induction heating load by using the suitable turns number of the work coil, and suitable dimensions required for heating purposes. The aim of this work is to describe and predict the behavior of the induction heating load during the heating process, and choose the suitable parameters of the induction load for each kind of heating application. The analysis includes the determination of the electromagnetic field distribution of the workpiece and work coil. The analysis also includes the computing of Ohmic losses in the workpiece at a certain operating frequency and the inductances and coupling coefficient between the work coil and workpiece. The software used to achieve these targets is the Ansoft Maxwell coupled with ANSYS Workbench package. The test was done under different excitation current, temperature, and frequency. The load parameters' anticipated behavior has been described during the heating process by this simulation. The simulation results show that increasing the number of coil turns instead of the power-supplied current is preferable to get a strong and uniform magnetic field H in the heating zone (inside the coil). The variant of the magnetic field strength for the work coil changes with the coil's radius change, and the best result is obtained when decreasing the radius. The simulation results give a realistic base for the thermal transient phenomena that happened under different operation conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
