Optimalization of Induction Furnace Operation in foundry Vsetín
Trachta, Jiří ; Nowak, Stanislav (referee) ; Lázničková, Ilona (advisor)
The aim of this work is optimalisation of induction furnace in foundry for company PROMET FOUNDRY a.s. The company has two induction furnances. There are installed as identical construction. They have 2 modes of operation. First mode is founding and second mode is mode, where is temperature in maintain mode. Only one induction furnance can work in the founding mode at a time though. Inducion furnances are in the single-phase connection and they cause unbalance in the distribution network. Near the foundry there is a small network area whitch it is operated by company Zásobování teplem Vsetín a.s. The consumption of electrical energy in foundry so big, that in the year 2009 was made elaborate for Zásobování teplem Vsetín a.s. It was write at Laboratoře diagnostiky výkonů (Laboratory of performance diagnostics), which is a part of Electrotechnic Department at Technical Univarsity of Ostrava. The ordered study was named “Verification of causes of increased reactive energy consumption during transition from electricity delivery to electricity consumption”. The conclusion of this assignment confirms that in distribution network in the Jiráskova area in Vsetín there is unbalance of electrical energy and there is high part of reactive power. The next conclusion is crucial to find the customer who made the unbalance and to set relevant remedy. The last step will be the identification whether such device can actually be effectively balanced. It was subsequently proved that the Promet Foundry was causing the unbalance and that balanced consumption would be reasonable. Promet Foundry thus addressed Autel a.s. company with an inquiry to make a study of removing the causes of the unbalance which is caused by current induction furnaces operation at a minimum possible cost, least possible influence on the performance and minimum construction changes concerning the building. In this thesis there will be some topics. The result of which will be introducing of used heating technology, introducing of company and of effective plant performance and subsequent suggestions of possible unbalance removal or reactive power decrease. Several ways which are being implemented in the industry in order to balance consumption will be described. A suitable balancing plant will be subsequently chosen and its parameters will be calculated.

Portable source for induction heating
Nevřela, Tomáš ; Martiš, Jan (referee) ; Knobloch, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this work is to realize and test a prototype portable source for induction heating of small parts. The project contains a theoretical basis of resonant circuits and induction heating. The device design is based on simulation results from the FEMM program, with which a focussing coil for induction heating has been designed. The parts of the thesis are the realization of the designed device, its putting into operation and the programming of the control.

Induction heating for small applications
Hrbáč, Lukáš ; Foral, Štěpán (referee) ; Krbal, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis covers the topic of induction heat and possible solutions for small applications. There is theoretical knowledge needed for design of an induction device and also principles of induction heat. In the thesis, there is described resonant circuit, which is the main part of induction heating device. Furthermore, usual interpretations of driver and power circuits are analyzed. This work describes different ways how to adjust operating frequency to achieve better results. This thesis also includes verification of functionality of such a device, measurement of operating parameters and efficiency. Instructions for laboratory exercise dealing with induction device are attached in the appendix.

Power factor correction and low-frequency conducted disturbances assessment of an industrial induction heating system
Vývoda, Marek ; Žila, Drahoslav (referee) ; Drápela, Jiří (advisor)
This Diploma thesis deals with design of for power factor correction device for mid-frequency-range induction heating and also with assessment of correction device influence in harmonically distorted environment from the distribution net point of view. Research chapters contain of main characteristics of electrical power quality and theoretical background of reactive power, which is in our case caused by driven non-linear elements. Further, the heating power supply block is explained and simulations of power consumption in Matlab - Simulink is done, within the prove of corrective tools design. After the build of corrective tool assemblies, measurements are matched with the simulation results.

Thermal calculation in design of resistance and induction devices
Krčál, Vít ; Foral, Štěpán (referee) ; Lázničková, Ilona (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis focuses on thermal calculation of electric heating device and related theory. Selected topics in electric heating technology are explained, followed by the calculation in design of a crucible furnace and its automation using a computer program. The theoretical part first deals with the heat transfer mechanisms and their mathematical description. Further on, the thesis describes how heat is created in resistance and induction heating devices and mentions applications of these types of heating. The main part of the thesis focuses on the thermal calculation of the resistance crucible furnace for aluminium melting. The calculation relates to a cylinder-shaped model of the furnace with determined structure and deals mostly with heat loss, electric power input, thermal efficiency and design of heating elements. The calculation is achieved only in general and it is subsequently automated in Microsoft Office Excel® application. The computer program, which is also a part of the thesis, allows user to change input parameters and see how it affects results of the calculation. In the last chapter, an example of calculation for specific numeric data is presented. The main goal of the thesis is to automate the calculation. That can save some time while calculating and designing a crucible furnace.

Additional device for the pushing out billets from inductor
Pešek, Josef ; Klepetko, David (referee) ; Kašpárek, Jaroslav (advisor)
The master thesis deals different types of additional device for the pushing out billets from inductor. It includes individual machines from different manufacturers induction heating and their comparison. I designed my own solution and created a 3D model according to which a fully functional device was made. By verifying the functionality, a numerical simulation of the dynamic extrusion process was created. Part of the work is drawing documentation.
