induction heating Induction heater JH1500
General information
JH1500 is a mobile induction heater, which is
used for heating up metal parts on vehicles
without damaging nearby parts. The induction
heater produces heat without physical contact
and without naked ames. Using the induction
heater makes it possible to leave nearby,
sensitive parts in place.
The are many application areas for the JH1500.
For example, the induction heater can be used
for:
• Heating nuts and bolts that have rusted in
place
• Heating hinge pins that have rusted in place
• Heat‑shrinking steel and aluminium panels
when making repairs
• Heating, for example, couplings to exhaust
systems that have rusted in place and
places that are difficult to reach
• Heating screws that have rusted in place
• Nuts on the suspension or the steering
• Simple removal of underbody protection and
PVC coating
• Frame straightening
The JH1500 is designed to heat metals, by
concentrating a powerful magnetic eld at the
inductor head.The induction heater also works
well on aluminium. The magnetic eld alternates
at a frequency of ca 14‑30kHz. The magnetic
eld induces eddy currents in the material, and
the electrical resistance produces heat in the
metal.
Since heat is created due to electrical losses
and radiation from the plates, JH1500 has an
internal cooling system, using water as the
coolant. The water circuit cools the high‑power
electronics, cables, induction handle and
inductor. When the machine starts, the water
pump begins to pump the cooling water in the
induction heater.
