Induction boiler can be safely attributed to new generation boilers, which in its operation in many respects exceeds the more familiar electric or gas models of this type of device.
Such universal equipment is most suitable for a private house with a large area, but can be successfully installed in an apartment.
The device of this type, due to its operation principle, consumes electric current in much smaller quantities, in comparison with similar devices.
In addition, it is absolutely safe for the environment and health, which means it can be installed wherever small children live.
Nowadays in any specialized store you can easily purchase an induction boiler, but it will be quite expensive.
In the event that there is no extra money, but want to install a new generation device in your home, you can assemble an induction heating boiler yourself.
Correctly, personally assembled such a device is perfect for heating a private house or a large apartment and will help with minimum costs to maintain in all rooms the optimum temperature in winter.
Features
Features of the
operation The induction-type boiler, like any other electric boiler in which heating elements are used as heating elements, can convert the incoming electricity energy intothermal.
It should be noted here that due to its special design, this device is capable of heating water several times faster, which makes it the most effective heating device for the home.

In its simplest form, this device is an ordinary electric inductor, consisting of both primary and secondary winding, which makes it look like a transformer.
The internal part of such a boiler forms certain eddy currents, which are instantly directed to the second winding, which thereby provide it with constantly incoming energy.
This continuously incoming energy, in turn, is rapidly converted to thermal energy, and a working fluid is provided, in the role of which both water and antifreeze can act.
To ensure the operation of the induction-type boiler at home, it is necessary to ensure continuous supply of the used coolant to it.
The electric current flows to the internal winding of the boiler.
In turn, it begins to produce eddy currents and continuously feed them to the second outer winding, resulting in rapid heating of the inner core.
After a short period of time, the entire surface of a certain section reaches the required temperature and begins to give off the heat of the working fluid that carries it through the pipes, thereby ensuring the heating of the surrounding space.
It is possible to avoid overheating due to the fact that the heat from the induction boiler is withdrawn in a continuous mode.

These universal units of the new generation do not have classic conventional heating surfaces, which excludes their failure.
In addition, in the induction-type boiler, the scum does not form within the entire service life, which speaks even more in its favor.
The first version of the
boiler In order to assemble the induction boiler yourself, you do not need to have professional knowledge.
It is enough to remember the usual course of school physics and have all the necessary material and tools at hand.
Induction-type boilers have a relatively simple design, in addition, they require a minimum set of suitable materials for their assembly.
It is advisable to have the most common welding inverter available, it is better if this device additionally provides manual current regulation.
In most cases, in a welding inverter a current value is of the order of fifteen amperes, but for an induction boiler it is recommended to use a unit with a higher power.
In a homemade induction boiler, small pieces of ordinary stainless wire protrude as heating elements.
As the main body for the boiler heater induction type, it is recommended to use a plastic pipe, but only one that has thick walls.
To the general house heating system, the induction boiler is connected through special adapters. Such adapters require two, one to the input, and the other to the output.
Both ends of the pipe should be tightly closed with a mesh made of metal, having previously placed in it pieces of wire.
Further around this plastic tube neatly wound exactly ninety turns of copper enameled wire.
The final version should be an assembly, which should be connected to a stationary house heating system.
Then it is necessary to check all available connections for integrity and only then to start the water.
Before using the induction boiler in operation, it must be grounded without fail.

The second version of the heating device
Induction-type boiler can be assembled and more perfect type. Such a homemade induction boiler will work more efficiently, and will be able to provide space heating with a larger area.
Such a boiler will consist of two separate pipes, which should be welded together in a special way so that they resemble a circle. This circle will perform several functions simultaneously.
First of all, it will act as a kind of core, and in addition to perform the functions of the heating element.
The winding should be made directly over the body of plastic, which will make it possible to increase not only its efficiency, but also its productivity.
After the entire inner part of the induction boiler has been collected, it will be necessary to place absolutely the entire device in a special insulating jacket.
This will avoid unnecessary heat loss during operation of the unit, and besides it will significantly increase its safety.
Heating of working fluid in such an induction boiler will be carried out by direct contact of the used coolant with the winding.
To connect to a common heating system, the assembled unit follows the usual scheme.
When using it, do not forget that the water in the system must always be, otherwise the overheating and device failure may occur.
Like any other heating device, this type of boiler provides the necessary space heating throughout the winter period.
Basic recommendations for
operation As with any other device, an induction-type boiler is a source of increased danger, and certain safety rules must be followed when operating it.
This type of heater can only be used in heating networks that have a forced circulation circuit for working fluid.
This means that there must be a corresponding pump in the system.

An induction heating heater that has been assembled on its own can also be freely connected in systems that consist of plastic pipes.
It is recommended to install the main part of the unit at some distance from the floor, ceiling and walls.
In order to maximize the safety of the entire heating system and prevent its quick failure, experts recommend that an induction-type boiler with a blasting valve must be equipped without fail.
Through it will go all the excess air, which for one reason or another will get into the system.
As practice shows, an induction-type boiler, which was assembled at the plant, has been running trouble-free for at least thirty years.
The durability of a device assembled with its own hands depends mainly on the components used, the correct assembly and the observance of the operating rules.
Therefore, in the manufacture of this unit should only use high-quality and serviceable components, as well as to monitor the correctness of its connection and comply with all operating rules.
This induction-type equipment is able to efficiently heat sufficiently large volumes of the surrounding space.
Its operation is much cheaper than other electrical devices.
Of course, in order to correctly assemble it, you will have to remember the lessons of the school course of physics and show patience.
Such a boiler is the best solution to the problem of creating comfortable conditions in the house, even when there are real winter frosts outside the window.
