Special solutions
With induction heating

Illustration plasma generation

As an innovative solution provider of induction heating, Himmelwerk enjoys working on particularly challenging tasks. These can come from any industrial and scientific application areas.

Special solutions from Himmelwerk

Plasma generation

We use induction technology to generate plasma, which is used, for example, for the production of glass fibres. The performance of glass fibre reinforced plastics can also be strengthened by plasma treatment.

ITER – Simulation of nuclear fusion

We are involved in the nuclear fusion research of the international research project ITER. Because here plasma flows are generated inductively, among other things. A highly exciting project that has kept us on our toes since 1994.

More about the project
Adhesive bonds through inductive heating processes

Inductively activated adhesive layers have already been realised many times with Himmelwerk's high-frequency technology. We use induction technology simply and effectively, especially for metal-non-metal connections, metal-metal connections and for bonding processes in the plastics sector.

Heating of magnetic nano particles

We are currently working with several partners in industry and research on the induction heating of materials or layers that are mixed with magnetic nano particles. This opens up completely new applications in the targeted heating of materials that could not previously be heated by induction heating.

Thermographic fault detection

We also use induction heating to detect faults in components. Due to a relatively short pulse duration of high-frequency inductive energy, defects within a metallic component can be detected online.

Our solutions

We love challenges

We are familiar with standardised induction processes. With special applications too. Because we know from our experience that much more is possible.

Applications overview
Soldering

Since 1950, Himmelwerk has shipped more than 19,000 high and medium frequency converters worldwide.
By how much can you reduce your CO₂ emissions per year? Let’s have a look.

Assumption 1: 25% of your converters are still operational.

Assumption 2: They have an average output of 6 kW and thus a power consumption of 7 kW.

Assumption 3: These generators are operational 8 hrs per day and 5 days per week.

Assumption 4: Inductive heating uses up to 40% less energy than conventional methods. Let’s assume 30%.

With these assumptions, our calculation would look like this: Daily energy consumption: 8 hrs x 7 kW = 56 kW

Energy savings per day: 56 kWh / 0.7 = 80 kWh; 80 – 56 = 24 kWh

Total energy savings per day: 24 kWh x 4,750 converters = 114,000 kWh

Total energy savings per year: 220 working days x 114,000 kWh = 25,080,000 kWh

Conversion factor kWh/CO₂: 1 kWh is equivalent to approx. 0.485 kg of CO₂ (source: German Federal Environmental Agency, Climate Change 15/2022)

CO₂ reduction per year: 25,080,000 kWh x 0.485 kg = 12,163,800 kg
