Water cooling is typically the Achilles heel of induction heating processes.
Water cooling is typically the Achilles heel of induction heating processes. We are mixing electricity and water inside the induction heating system. The cooling capability of the water will be compromised by the quality, temperature and solid content.
There are some processes where the water is mixed with refrigerant, or anti-freeze, for example, because the temperature of the environment might fall below freezing and you don't want the water to freeze inside the induction heating setups. So, any additive decreases the cooling capability. Beyond a certain limit, you might have inconsistent output from the induction machine, or you might actually damage the induction heating systems.
So, maintaining the water quality is number one.
Then you want to look at your process and make sure the induction heating coil is not getting bumped around and is not getting excessive flux build up if you're in the brazing type environment.
And just common sense maintenance is required. If you already own our systems, refer to your manual for more detailed instructions.
