- Power and Cooling Requirements: This product requires a reliable power source and effective cooling. Compatible with standard aquarium water pumps and gear pumps that provide higher pressure, it operates on a 24V power supply. Alternatively, tap water can be used directly through a hose connected to a copper pipe. - Cooling Mechanism: A fan is essential for cooling during operation. It should blow air from top to bottom to effectively cool the resonant capacitor, magnetic ring, and other critical components. - Switching Power Supply Guidelines: When using a high-performance switching power supply, be aware of its slow start characteristic. The output voltage rises gradually, which may prevent the induction heating circuit from activating if the voltage does not reach 10V. This can lead to simultaneous activation of two MOSFETs, causing potential component damage. - Heating Rod Specifications: For optimal performance, use a heating rod with a 40mm diameter for iron or iron pipe objects, ensuring the diameter of the object does not exceed 10mm. For a 50mm heating rod, the object diameter should not exceed 20mm to avoid excessive current and circuit damage. An ammeter can be connected between the power supply and heater driver board for current monitoring. - Material Heating Limitations: This device is not designed for heating titanium or aluminum materials. Use a smaller heating coil that closely matches the diameter of the object being heated to ensure effectiveness. - Heating Setup Instructions: When heating a jar, place ceramic fiber paper made from clay pot material at the bottom and around the graphite crucible. This setup promotes even heating and prevents uneven thermal expansion that could lead to cracking. It also blocks air and insulates the graphite for prolonged use at higher temperatures. - Practical Applications: 1. Metal Fabrication: Ideal for heating small metal components for welding or shaping, ensuring precise temperature control. 2. Material Processing: Suitable for heating materials in laboratory settings, where accuracy and reliability are paramount. 3. Crafting and DIY Projects: Perfect for hobbyists looking to heat various materials efficiently, whether for jewelry making or other creative applications.
