In the article, readers will learn how the induction heating process differs from traditional methods of repairing boiler tubes and how plant engineers can benefit from this innovative technique.

As global economic factors continue to impact all industries, finding ways to curb bottom-line expenses becomes crucial even for those in the utilities industries. Furthermore, as ongoing maintenance costs can drastically impact a facility’s output and revenue, finding ways to reduce downtime is critical.

In its article, Thermo International explains how traditional repair work on boiler pipes involves cutting around a damaged area and using a hammer and chisel to knock the section out. However, this high-impact method can often result in further damage to the surrounding pipework, which can then require additional welding and sheet rolling to repair.

To prevent this extraneous damage, Thermo International explains how their innovative induction heating method can rapidly heat and shrink a damaged section, making it malleable for easier removal. Additionally, as induction heating has a short time-to-temperature ratio, it can also be a faster process than using a hammer and chisel.

“Induction heating has been around ever since Nikola Tesla discovered and harnessed the phenomenon. His industrial applications made much of the modern world we know today possible,” the article explained.

Plant operators looking to utilize induction heating for their pipework replacements can rent a range of portable units from Thermo International. Having worked with induction heating machines for several years, the company’s team can also offer other induction-related services such as bolt heating, heat treatments, induction brazing, and tempering.

The company’s website has further details regarding induction heating, including videos of the process and articles regarding its use for various maintenance and construction needs.

A recent client of Thermo International said, “Their top-of-the-line induction heating machines have helped our company increase productivity, along with their world-class technical support.”
