Aiming at the current problems of coal-fired boilers and electromagnetic induction steam generators for environmental pollution and high energy consumption, this article combines air source heat pumps and electromagnetic induction heating technology, and at the same time carries out the structure of the condensate tank and electromagnetic induction steam generator. Redesign. Through trial production and experimentation of the prototype, the results show that compared with traditional coal-fired boilers and separate electromagnetic induction heating technology to generate steam, this device not only achieves energy saving and environmental protection, but also the stability of the steam outlet temperature and the amount of steam generated. Compared with the use of electromagnetic induction heating alone, it has increased by 20%. It can be seen that the use of air source heat pump’ electromagnetic induction heating technology to generate steam saves energy and increases the amount of steam generated.

In this study, we analysed the thermal field generated on the surface of reinforcing steel through 2D and 3D magnetic field analyses based on previous experiments on the temperature rise characteristics of reinforcing steel, temperature rise characteristics and mechanical characteristics. According to the results of the analysis of transferred heat from heated reinforcing steel to concrete, the actual reinforced concrete was analysed and compared with the actual measurements, and the following conclusions were reached. Through analysing the heat source that is generated by the eddy current and the heat that is transferred from the reinforcing steel to concrete, stress analysis is expected to predict and evaluate various problems that arise when induction heating technology is applied to the site.

Continuous Hot-Dip Galvanizing lines are widely used for the production of coated steel sheets. Quality improvement measures are of great importance for this type of line. A significant proportion of production and quality losses when operating these types of lines occurs when production is transitioning from one strip gauge/thermal cycle to another. Utilizing induction heating technology, in combination with a sophisticated control system, can dramically decrease yield losses during transitions. Dynamic Transition and Production Planning Models have recently been developed for the simulation and control of the continuous hot-dip galvanizing line. The results of this work have been implemented in some galvanizing lines with production rate up to 350,000-ton annual capacity.
