Working Principle of Rapid Heating for Bake Plate (Hot Plate)

Programmable Bake Plate

600°C high-temperature bake plate adopts split structure to keep control components far away from heat source. The heating surface uses ceramic-coated stainless steel panel, high temperature resistant and discoloration-proof. The outer casing is treated with stainless steel coating to resist oxidation and discoloration. The heating element adopts high-temperature heating coil, featuring long service life and excellent heating uniformity.

The voltage-regulating electric hot plate takes electric heating alloy wire as heating material, mica soft sheet as insulating material, covered with thin metal plate for heating. It is widely used for sample drying and other temperature tests in biology, genetics, environmental protection, biochemistry laboratories and analytical rooms.

The plate surface temperature can meet various operating temperature requirements. For example, boiling requires 100°C; frying requires 140～180°C. Too low temperature fails to fry food into golden yellow, while excessive temperature causes oil carbonization. Therefore, plate temperature is adjustable within 120～350°C.

High Temperature Bake Plate

The reason why voltage-regulating electric hot plate can heat up rapidly is that the input electric energy is effectively converted into more than 65% far-infrared radiant energy and more than 30% convective thermal energy.

Introduction and working principle of bake plate. Bake plates are commonly seen in daily life; household appliances such as induction cookers, microwave ovens, ovens and electric rice cookers belong to similar heating equipment. Energy-saving heating equipment realizes lower power consumption and higher heating efficiency. The following introduces the working principle of bake plates in detail.

1. What is a Bake Plate?

A bake plate is a component composed of heating elements and accessories. Glass fiber reinforced refractory fiber layer is wrapped outside stranded resistance wire, and a metal wire reinforced refractory fiber layer is woven outside the refractory fiber layer. The double cladding closely distributed along the entire length of resistance wire strand forms an integral bendable direct heating unit closely attached to heated workpieces. Heating units are wound into sheet shape according to the shape and size of heated objects. Multiple parallel units are horizontally woven together with metal wires to form woven high-temperature electric heaters that can directly wrap around heated parts.

2. Working Principle of Bake Plate

The principle is installing a primary coil with more turns and a secondary coil with fewer turns on the same iron core. The ratio of input voltage to output voltage equals the turns ratio, while energy remains conserved. Thus the secondary coil generates large current under low voltage condition.

For induction heaters, the bearing acts as a short-circuited single-turn secondary coil. Large current passes through under low alternating voltage and generates massive heat, while the heater body and magnetic yoke remain at ambient temperature. Since this heating method induces current, the bearing will be magnetized. It is essential to demagnetize the bearing afterwards to avoid attracting metal magnetic debris during operation. FAG induction heaters are equipped with automatic demagnetization function.

Induction heating utilizes eddy current generated inside metal under alternating magnetic field to realize self-heating, widely applied to metal heat treatment. When thick metal is placed in alternating magnetic field, current is generated due to electromagnetic induction. Inside thick metal, current forms spiral circulation, and heat generated by current flow is absorbed by metal itself, leading to rapid temperature rise of metal parts.

Bake Plate with Lifting Pin Function

This equipment is an energy-saving device for preheating or secondary heating of fuel oil. It is installed before combustion equipment to heat fuel oil before combustion. Under high temperature (105℃-150℃), fuel viscosity is reduced to promote full atomization and combustion, so as to save energy. It is widely used for preheating and reheating of heavy oil, asphalt, crude oil and other fuel oils.
