Compact 15kW Induction Heating System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The EKOHEAT induction heating systems are designed for efficient heating of various part geometries, sizes, and compositions. They operate in the 50-150 kHz range, providing reliable and repeatable solutions for high-speed heating, particularly suitable for smaller parts requiring high frequency.
Key Features:
  • Versatile configurations with multiple capacitor and transformer setups.
  • Voltage or power control options for precise heating.
  • Agile frequency tuning and repeatable heating processes.
  • Movable workhead with a range of up to 30 meters.
  • Remote operation capabilities via RS485 port.
  • Compatible with international AC line voltages.
Applications: EKOHEAT systems are ideal for heat treating steels, shallow case depth hardening, and heating metals like steel, aluminum, copper, or brass for processes such as brazing, shrink fitting, curing, forming, and melting.
Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness: The system reduces energy usage compared to traditional gas-fired and resistive heating techniques. It features a high power factor (>0.9) and efficient power conversion, minimizing utility demand charges and operating costs. The system is water-cooled, requiring a heat exchanger or similar setup.
User Interface: The system includes a user-friendly front panel for configuration, cycle timing, and data capture. It supports up to 10 ten-step heating profiles and offers a five-language display suite.
Specifications:
  • Power: Up to 15kW, operating from 50kHz to 150kHz.
  • AC Line Voltage: 360 - 520 Vac, 3-phase.
  • Power Factor: 0.92.
  • Max Ambient Temperature: 45°C (115°F).
  • Compliance: CE, EN60519, EN61326-1.
  • Ingress Protection: NEMA12.
  • Weight: 32 kg (70 lb).
  • Dimensions: 432 x 616 x 451 mm (17 x 24.25 x 17.75 in).
Water Cooling: The system requires a water flow of 7.6 l/m (2.0 g/m) plus 2.8 l/m (0.75 g/m) for the workhead coil, with a maximum input pressure of 5.6 Bar (80 lb/in²).
Options and Accessories: Available options include start-up assistance, heat exchangers, pendant stations, auto-tap selection, redundant safety relays, multi-workhead controllers, eVIEW serial data reporting, footswitches, extended workhead cable lengths, optical pyrometers, external controllers, and front E-stop with retransmission.
Contact Information: Ambrell Corporation provides contact details for their offices in the United States, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom for sales and support.

Compact 15kW Induction Heating System-1

Power to 15kW: Operation from 50kHz to 150kHz World-class Induction Heating Systems EKOHEAT induction heating systems for the 50-150 kHz range provide reliable and repeatable solutions for high-speed heating of smaller parts where the part geometry or the coil size requires high frequency for efficient heating. Among many typical applications are heat treating of steels, shallow case depth hardening, and heating of steel, aluminum, copper or brass for brazing, shrink fitting, curing, forming and melting. With the versatile EKOHEAT power control system you get rapid tuning, efficient and precise heating of your parts, power control within 0.2% resolution and an easy-to-use, easy-to-read front panel. Remote control is accomplished with 0-10V, 4-20mA inputs, RS485 serial port, 24V controls and remote E-Stop input so integration with your automated production lines is easy. EKOHEAT technology improves return on investment by reducing your energy usage compared to gas-fired and resistive heating techniques. Flameless, non-contact induction heating minimizes energy waste by focusing energy only on the part and zone to be heated. With very efficient power conversion and a power factor greater than 0.9, utility demand charges are reduced, lowering monthly energy bills. EKOHEAT systems are designed for efficient use of cooling water, further lowering your operating costs. This is a water-cooled system, requiring connection to a heat exchanger or other means of dissipating heat. Versatile • Efficient heating of many part geometries, sizes and compositions - Multiple capacitor configurations - Multiple tap transformer configurations - Voltage or Power control • Repeatable, reliable heating, agile frequency tuning • Through-Curie heating • Movable workhead; up to 30m (100’) • Sub-second to continuous cycle times • Remote operation or logging with RS485 port • Accepts international AC line voltages EKOHEAT AT-A-GLANCE Easy to Use • User-friendly operator front panel controls • System configuration from front panel • Cycle timer, peak and short-cycle data capture • 10 ten-step heating profiles • Overload-tolerant output management • 5-language display suite (EN, ES, FR, DE, IT) EKOHEAT is CE marked and manufactured at our IS0 9001:2008 certified facility
