Abstract

Many agricultural facilities do not have the ability to connect to gas supply networks; at such facilities electric water heaters are used as sources of thermal energy for heating and hot water systems. The issue of the use of induction heating as one of the most effective at such facilities is relevant. The aim of this work is to study energy characteristics of an induction water heater, such as efficiency and power factor. In order to determine the estimated efficiency and power factor the energy balance method was used. The experimental values of the efficiency and power factor are determined by the calorimetric method and with the help of an electric energy quality analyzer. The obtained value of the efficiency and power factor of the induction water heater corresponds to the calculated value with an accuracy of ±1%.
