[0045] This embodiment provides an electromagnetic induction water heater, including the capillary tube collector 1 in Example 1.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the electromagnetic induction water heater further includes an electromagnetic inductor 2 and an electromagnetic induction coil 3 ; wherein, the electromagnetic induction coil 3 is wound around the outer surface of the capillary collector 1 , and the electromagnetic inductor 2 is connected to both ends of the electromagnetic induction coil 3 .

[0049] The control unit 4 includes a power tube, which controls the on and off of a large current through a low current signal.

[0050] This embodiment adopts the Faraday electromagnetic induction principle to convert electrical energy into magnetic energy. An alternating current is passed through an alternating magnetic field with a continuously changing direction. When this alternating magnetic field acts on the conductor to be heated, i.e., the capillary tube collector 1, eddy currents are generated inside the conductor (caused by the eddy electric field driving the movement of carriers in the conductor). The Joule heating effect of the eddy currents causes the conductor (capillary tube collector 1) to heat up, and water flows through the conductor, thereby achieving water heating.

[0051] Working principle: The alternating current generated by electromagnetic induction is used to generate an alternating magnetic field with a constantly changing direction through the induction coil, which acts on the conductor of the capillary collector 1, generating eddy current inside the conductor. The Joule heating effect of the eddy current causes the conductor to heat up, thereby achieving heating.

[0052] The electromagnetic induction coil 3 is wound around the porous silicon outer surface of the capillary collector 1. The capillary collector 1 is composed of several specially treated 304 stainless steel tubes of different sizes that are laser welded. When the water to be heated flows from large to small through the surface of each capillary tube, the capillary tube is rapidly heated under the action of the alternating magnetic field. The high temperature generated by the tube wall enables the water molecules flowing through to obtain additional energy, intensifying the irregular movement of the water molecules and generating heat. After the heat is absorbed by the water, the temperature of the water rises. When the heat absorbed by the water is greater than the heat it releases to the outside world, the heat will accumulate in the water, causing the water temperature to continue to rise. This process continues until the water reaches the boiling point. At this time, the water temperature no longer rises because the water begins to vaporize violently. The water continues to absorb heat when it vaporizes, but the temperature remains unchanged.

[0053] Water temperature regulation and control: During the heating process, a magnetic induction water heater can be set to a fixed value, such as 50 degrees Celsius. It connects to a thermostat via a soft-start interface, and the temperature set by the thermostat controls the heating process. When the detected temperature does not reach the set value, the contacts on the thermostat output remain closed, allowing current to flow through the heater. Once the set temperature is reached, the contacts open, cutting off power and achieving precise temperature control. This approach not only improves circuit efficiency but also simplifies equipment maintenance, allowing users to easily set and adjust the heating temperature.

[0054] Induction water heaters regulate water temperature primarily through a mixing valve, while temperature control relies on a thermostat to precisely manage the heating process. This combination allows induction water heaters to provide a comfortable water temperature while ensuring efficient energy use and safe operation.

[0055] The above describes in detail the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that numerous modifications and variations based on the concepts of the present invention can be made by those skilled in the art without inventive effort. Therefore, any technical solution that can be derived by a person skilled in the art based on the concepts of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation based on the existing technology shall be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
