Product catalog summary
Overview
EKOHEAT induction heating systems are designed for efficient heating across various part geometries, sizes, and compositions. They offer multiple capacitor and transformer configurations, voltage or power control, and agile frequency tuning. The systems support remote operation and logging, and are compatible with international AC line voltages.

Applications
EKOHEAT systems are suitable for applications requiring deep heat penetration, such as heat treating steel, preheating for forging, and melting in crucibles. They operate in the 2 to 6 kHz frequency range and are ideal for use with large coils or parts.

Features
- Rapid tuning and precise heating with a 12-bit power control.
- User-friendly front panel with system configuration and diagnostics.
- Remote control via various inputs and RS485 serial port.
- Energy-efficient with a power factor greater than 0.9, reducing utility demand charges.
- CE marked and manufactured at an ISO 9001:2008 certified facility.

Specifications
- Power output ranges from 300 to 500 kW.
- Operates at 2 to 6 kHz frequency.
- AC line voltage ranges from 360 to 520 Vac, 3-phase.
- Ingress protection rated at IP54, NEMA 12.
- Water cooling required with specific flow and pressure requirements.

Options and Accessories
- Start-up assistance, cooling systems, and pendant station.
- Auto-tap selection and redundant safety relays.
- eVIEW serial data reporting and broadband frequency range (2-15 kHz).
- Extended workhead cable lengths and optical pyrometer for closed-loop temperature control.
- External controller (PLC) and complete spare parts kits.

Conclusion
EKOHEAT systems provide a versatile and efficient solution for induction heating needs, with advanced control features and energy-saving benefits, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Ambrell INDUCTION HEATING SOLUTIONS Power to 500 kW: Operation from 2 kHz to 6 kHz EkoHeat With VPA Technology World-class Induction Heating Systems EKOHEAT induction heating systems for the 2 to 6 kHz frequency range provide reliable and repeatable solutions for heating with large coils or for heating larger parts. Typical applications include heating parts that require deeper heat penetration, heat treating steel, preheating for forging of steel, aluminum, copper or brass, and melting in crucibles With the versatile EKOHEAT power control system you get rapid tuning, efficient and precise heating of your parts, a 12 bit power control with a 0.024% 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. With very efficient power conversion and a power factor greater than 0.9, utility demand charges are reduced, lowering monthly energy bills. EKOHEAT VPA systems are designed on a host/ client principle so you can add additional power should your process require it in the future. The 2 to 6 kHz systems have additional reserve current capability for heating steels through curie. A separate cabinet houses the tappable resonating capacitor bank, available in several different sizes to meet customer-specific applications. This workhead may be placed up to 30 meters from the power supply. This is a water-cooled system, requiring connection to a heat exchanger or other means of dissipating heat. Alternatively the resonating capacitor may be mounted in an extra bay to locate it with the power supply. 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 • 7-language display suite (EN, ES, FR, DE, IT, pt, PL) • System diagnostics displayed on front panel EKOHEAT is CE marked and manufactured at our IS0 9001:2008 certified facili
