The invention relates to an induction hob comprising at least one switching element and at least one induction coil (3), the switching element providing an alternating current flow through said induction coil (3) and cooling means (4) providing an airflow through the induction hob for cooling said switching element and said induction coil (3). The induction coil (3) is arranged at a first side (5.1) of a first plate-shaped support element (5) and the switching element is arranged at a first side (6.1) of a second plate-shaped support element (6), wherein the first support element (5) and the second support element (6) are connected to one another and arranged at a distance (d) in order to form an air channel (7) between the first and second support element (5, 6) and wherein the cooling means (4) are arranged such that an airflow is provided through said air channel (7).

Apparatuses, systems and methods of providing heat to enable an FDM additive manufacturing nozzle having refined print control and enhanced printing speed. The heating element may include at least one sheath sized to fittedly engage around an outer circumference of the FDM printer nozzle; at least one wire coil at least partially contacting an inner diameter of the sheath; and at least one energy receiver associated with the at least one wire coil.

The present disclosure relates to a cooking apparatus having a heating module capable of moving in a two-dimensional space and, particularly, to a cooking apparatus comprising: an upper plate configured to support a cooking vessel, a heating module disposed movably in a space provided under the upper plate and included a coil, and a rail disposed under the heating module to guide movements of the heating module, wherein electric current is supplied to the rail and the heating module supplies an alternating current through the rail. According to the present disclosure, the heating module supplies a current through the rail rather than receiving a current through a separate connection coil or wiring from an external power supply, thereby enabling shorting or disconnection of a current to be prevented even if the heating module moves.

In order to provide an induction heating cooking device in which a supporting configuration of a heating coil unit is simple and can be easily assembled, and which can accurately and constantly maintain a distance between a top plate and heating coils, opposite side surfaces of a framework laid out below the top plate are configured to have first vertical parts, first horizontal parts, and second vertical parts. A heating coil supporting member that supports the heating coils is disposed to be bridged between the first horizontal parts of the opposite side surfaces of the framework, and the heating coil unit having the heating coil is configured to be securely supported by the first horizontal parts.

A cooking appliance may include a holder disposed in an induction heating element provided below a cover plate, and a supporter disposed inside the holder that supports a sensor inserted into the holder to contact the sensor to the cover plate.

A method of improving natural gas recovery from a subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir includes at least one renewable energy source that is electrically coupled with a heat conducting element. The heat conducting element is positioned in a perforated section of a wellbore that traverses into the subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir. A temperature of the subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir is maintained above a cricondentherm temperature so that liquid condensation may be prevented at a final production time. In order to maintain the temperature within a required temperature range, an internal temperature, an internal pressure, and a set of reservoir properties are monitored and then utilized to plot a phase diagram that can be used to detect liquid condensation. If liquid condensation is detected, an electrical output of the renewable energy source is adjusted in order to control the temperature of the subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir at a producing end of a production tubing.

An induction cooking appliance comprises a bottom metal tray containing a printed circuit board and electronic components mounted thereon, and also a pair of polymeric support elements configured to be fastened to the metal tray and interposed between the tray and the printed circuit board in order to define a predetermined distance between the tray and the printed circuit board. The polymeric support elements may have an integral intermediate polymeric frame which provides a predetermined relative position thereof.

An electromagnetic induction continuous-flow water heater, in particular an automatic beverage vending machine is provided. The heater includes: a tubular body having a longitudinal axis and at least one inlet, configured to receive water to be heated and to feed it, in use, into the tubular body, and an outlet, through which the heated water flows out of the tubular body; and an electrical winding wound around the tubular body and electrically powerable to generate an electromagnetic induction field. The tubular body is made of an electrically conductive material heated by electromagnetic induction. The heater further includes an insert housed inside the tubular body and extending along the longitudinal axis with the tubular body and the insert delimit at least between an external surface of the insert and an internal surface of the tubular body, a helical flow channel for the water, which extends helically around the longitudinal axis.

An electric range includes a case and a cover plate coupled to an upper surface of the case to place an object. Further, the electric range includes a plurality of heating portions disposed below the cover plate to heat the object and an upper bracket disposed under the heating portion to support the heating portion a control board disposed between the cover plate and the upper bracket. Furthermore, the electric range includes a support member having a first end disposed under the control board and a second end disposed on the upper bracket to support the control board and a base bracket disposed under the upper bracket and comprising a printed circuit board.
