  • Method for controlling a static power conversion unit and induction heating system for cooling appliances using such method
    Patent number: 8492685
    Abstract: In a method for controlling a static power conversion unit to an inductor, particularly for an induction system used in cooking appliances, the value of an electrical parameter of the circuit is monitored at predetermined time intervals and at a predetermined duty cycle of the power transistor switching frequency, and on the basis of the monitored value, the duty cycle is modulated accordingly between the predetermined time intervals in order to keep the delivered power at a predetermined constant value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 7, 2009
    Date of Patent: July 23, 2013
    Assignee: Whirlpool Corporation
    Inventors: Diego Neftali Gutierrez, Santacatterina Gianpiero, Paderno Jurij
