The use of autonomous heat supply systems in housing and public utilities will reduce energy costs for 30-40%, and the total cost of heat supply by 20 - 30% compared to the heat supply from solid and liquid fuel boilers. Therefore, any energy-saving technologies in the heat power engineering for obtaining warm and hot water are very necessary and important. One of the promising technologies in the field of heating is induction heating. Induction heaters can be used in the following areas: autonomous and combined heating, accumulation of heat supply sources, hot water supply, etc.
It has been found that induction heaters have several advantages over the other heating sources such as: durability, fire safety, all-purposeness, automatic control, energy efficiency, electrical safety, ease of maintenance, etc.
A comparative analysis of the performance characteristics of induction and other types of heaters was carried out.
The conclusion was made on the expediency of the usage of induction water heaters in autonomous heat supply systems of villages, multistory houses, cottages and other objects of housing and public utilities.
