Induction heating (IH) is a technique of heating electrically conducting materials by the application of electromagnetic induction.The heat generated in the object using eddy current itself in the object , instead of by an external heat source via heat conduction. This technique obeys contactless heating. Using this technique objects can be heated very rapidly. Ferromagnetic material and its alloys like iron, stainless steel responds best to induction heating. This technique has good efficiency up to 94%. This technique is in practice at industries for annealing, brazing, welding, melting of metals. Due to the large evolution in technology this technique became much popular food processing at day to day life. In the present study, IH technology successfully introduces to heat liquid materials like water, oil, etc. Two types of load coils are prepared 1) Mild steel and 2) Stainless steel material, respectively. The objective is to investigate the amount of heat absorption generated using IH into the fluid flowing through the load coil. It is observed that the amount of heat is 80C to 120C more than the conventional systems.
