Hi, I'm working on a project that would require the ability to heat water into steam via electric induction, preferably DC or via AC converter if necessary. I'm thinking a monotube design with an induction coil surrounding it that could produce steam from 2 quarts of water in say 30 seconds or less. Anyone here have experience with that kind of design? Thanks,
Definitely use a single tube. I would use one with vanes on the inside to maximize surface area between the water and the metal. Get a copy of Davies & Simpson's Induction Heating Handbook through interlibrary-loan. See also: Induction Heating
