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 are capable of sub-second to continuous cycle times and support remote operation via an RS485 port.
Specifications
The systems operate in the 5-15 kHz range and are suitable for applications such as heating hard-to-couple parts, deeper heat penetration, and preheating for forging. They provide power control with 0.2% resolution and feature a user-friendly front panel for easy operation. The systems are CE marked and manufactured in an ISO 9001:2008 certified facility.
Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness
EKOHEAT systems improve return on investment by reducing energy usage compared to traditional heating methods. They focus energy only on the part to be heated, minimizing waste. The systems have a power factor greater than 0.9, reducing utility demand charges and operating costs. They are water-cooled, requiring a heat exchanger for heat dissipation.
Ease of Use
The systems feature a user-friendly operator front panel with system configuration, cycle timer, and data capture capabilities. They support multiple languages and display system diagnostics on the front panel. The systems can handle power up to 250kW and operate from 5kHz to 15kHz.
Technical Specifications
Key specifications include RF terminal power ranging from 75 to 250 kW, AC line power from 87 to 290 kVA, and a power factor of 0.92. The systems support AC line voltages from 360 to 520 Vac, 3Ø, and have an ingress protection rating of IP54, NEMA 12. Water cooling requirements vary by application, with flow rates and pressure differentials specified.
Options and Accessories
Available options include start-up assistance, cooling systems, pendant station, auto-tap selection, redundant safety relays, multi-workhead controller, eVIEW serial data reporting, and more. Accessories such as footswitches, extended workhead cable lengths, and optical pyrometers for closed-loop temperature control are also available.

EKOHEAT power to 250kW, operation from 5kHz to 15kHz-1

www. ambrel l. com Power to 250kW: Operation from 5kHz to 15kHz ekoheat With VPA Technology" World-class Induction Heating Systems EKOHEAT induction heating systems for the 5-15 kHz range provide reliable and repeatable solutions for heating with large coils or for heating larger parts. Among the many typical applications are heating of hard-to-couple parts, 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, 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.
