Heating characteristics of magnetic wood by induction heating

The purpose of this article is to examine the possibility of using magnetic wood as a heating board. This article covers top and side surfaces of heat ing characteristics for three types of magnetic wood (impregnated, powder a nd coating types) when using three different excitation coil types (solenoi d, meander and spiral coil). Our results showed that the coating type magne tic wood had the highest top surface temperature when using a spiral excita tion coil. In this case the top surface temperature rose 60 degrees C and g ood nat heat. The temperature difference was 15 degrees C. The heating boar d we propose can be used in floor heating and for medical equipment that re quire a safe, warm and smooth surface.
