Radi-flux radiometer Induction heater heating 100 KW
The shutter and inductor system is mounted on top of the table. The two flat inductors stand vertically from the table surface and are connected to the transformer under the table. The insides of the inductor columns are stepped to allow the shutter to slide between them. The shutter is a liquid cooled cooper rectangle which is pulled up by an air cylinder. The area which the shutter reveals when it lifts is visiable through the round apetures. The apetures are copper liquid cooled rings which are mounted in the sides of the inductor housing. The pictures of just the housing and conductors show an extra setup and are slightly different from the ones mounted on the machine.
The other main component of this machine is the transformer. There is a 8 position switch which changes the taps. The transformer is also plumbed into the coolant lines.
* Reasons it could be a heat flux radiometer:
Hy-cal designed and built machines for NASA and they produced a machine called the Hy-therm which was a circular foil heat flux gauge which has a similar description to this machine. Also called heat flux transducer, Gordon or Schmidt-Boelter gauge, and a pyranometer. Some radiometers are described as a machine with precision orifices which allow light radiation to pass through them and be absorbed onto a heat sink. This heat is compared to a set amount of heat produced by heaters.
* Reasons it could be an Induction heater.
The transformer is connected directly to the veritcal inductors which are seperated with a sliding shutter. Induction heaters are sometimes constructed with two vertical columns which act as the inductors. The columns must be connected together with a beam, and this is where the subject to be heated would be placed around.
