Latest Development of Involuted Type Induction Heated Hot Water Producer Using ZVS-PWM High Frequency Inverter

Abstract

This paper presents a new conceptual electromagnetic induction eddy current-based involuted type heat exchanger for hot water producer and boiler, which are suitable and acceptable for consumer power application. In addition, an edge-resonant PWM high frequency inverter using IGBTs can operate under a principle of zero voltage soft commutation is developed and demonstrated for an induction heated hot water producer and boiler.
This innovative consumer power electronic appliance using high frequency soft switching inverter is discussed and evaluated on the basis of simulation and experimental results.
