• Resumen

  • The transverse flux heating (TFH) concept offers very high electrical efficiency in combination with unique technological flexibility. Numerous advantages make this method beyond competition to be applied in e.g. processing lines. However, all potential advantages of TFH can be realized in practice only by optimal design of the inductor shape using numerical modelling and optimization techniques. This paper aims to describe a hierarchical approach to the optimal design of a one-sided induction coil, which will be used for one-sided TFH of continuous moving thin metal strip to achieve a homogeneous temperature distribution along the strip width.
