Full Body Heating Systems

Thermatool designs and manufactures a complete range of solid-state induction heating systems for the in-line heating of many different varieties of tube and pipe.

Typical applications for Full Body Heating systems are as follows:-

•    Induction Heating of tube prior to the galvanizing process.
     This is typically carried out at medium frequency, around
     10kHz. Note: Galvanization may be required on both the
     inner and outer tube surface, hence the need for heat to
     penetrate throughout.  

•    Annealing of condenser /refrigeration tube at mill speeds up to 150m/min.
     The annealing process enables this type of tubing to be coiled prior to use.
     Induction heating on this particular application is carried out at around 150kHz.

•    Annealing of automotive brake line tubing is very similar to the above and is also
     carried out at around 150kHz. Annealing not only gives radial strength to the tube,
     facilitating high pressure containment, but it also enables tubing to be efficiently
     coiled prior to installation.
