Abstract

This study analyzes the application of inductive heaters in fluid transport. It considers the problems of paraffin deposition and the increase in oil viscosity at lower temperatures, as well as the importance of maintaining fluid temperature above the pour point. The principle of inductive heating based on electromagnetic induction is presented, together with an analysis of the skin effect and the penetration depth of the electromagnetic field in steel pipelines. A calculation of inductive heater parameters for a specific pipeline system was carried out, with the aim of determining the necessary electrical and electromagnetic quantities for efficient pipeline heating. The analysis indicates that inductive heating is an energy‑efficient and reliable solution for use in fluid transport systems.
