Design of energy efficient inductors for connecting pipelines of oil and gas equipment

The article deals with the problem of soldering the installation connections of equipment using induction heating methods. The analysis of the subject area has been carried out. Methods for obtaining permanent connections of oil and gas equipment are considered. A comparison of the characteristics of energy sources for welding is carried out, and the characteristics of the efficiency of methods for obtaining permanent joints are also given. Induction brazing is considered as an alternative method for obtaining permanent joints, namely, an inductor for soldering fittings and flanges. The calculations of the required power of the equipment, used for soldering the field connections of the equipment, have been made. As a result of the work, the authors calculated the main parameters of the inductor for soldering the flanges of the fittings and designed sets of inductors with a diameter of Dy = 40 mm, Dy = 50 mm, Dy = 80 mm for soldering the flanges of the fittings.
