The invention discloses a 
quenching system and method applied to workpiece induction 
quenching. The 
quenching system comprises a sliding component, a quenching bracket, a water receiving tank, an 
induction coil heating device, a 
transformer, a quenching 
liquid water tank, a cooling water tank and a 
refrigeration industrial air conditioner, wherein the 
induction coil heating device is electrically connected with the 
transformer; a quenching liquid spray 
pipe is arranged on the sliding component; the water receiving tank is arranged below the quenching bracket; a 
submersible pump is arranged in the water receiving tank; the cooling water tank is mounted in the quenching 
liquid water tank; and a 
backflow copper pipe is mounted in a quenching liquid cooling work cavity below the cooling water tank. In the invention, induction quenching heating of a workpiece is realized through the 
induction coil heating device, the sliding component can perform sliding switch of the workpiece between 
two step positions of 
induction heating and quenching cooling, and the operation is more convenient and quicker; and moreover, high-temperature quenching liquid and high-temperature cooling water can be subjected to cooling heat exchange treatment at the same time, a 
refrigeration industrial air conditioner and a set of cooling 
system are shared, and therefore, the equipment is compact in structure and convenient to 
mount on a 
production line.
